Ripley Central Tube Access Kit (6 Trays and Tool)

Overview

The Ripley Central Tube Access Kit is a comprehensive solution designed for fiber technicians requiring precise, repeatable access to central tube fiber optic cables. This kit eliminates the guesswork associated with selecting the correct blade depth and tray size, ensuring consistent performance for various cable diameters.

At the core of the kit is the MB02 ergonomic, multi-purpose cable slitter, which is engineered to perform accurate ring and longitudinal cuts on dielectric cables up to 0.79 inches in diameter. The inclusion of six specific tray inserts ensures the tool is properly configured for the specific cable jacket, facilitating clean entry without damaging the internal fibers.
