Overview
The Ripley Miller CFS-2 is a precision fiber optic buffer stripper designed for reliable fiber preparation. This dual-hole tool is engineered for stripping standard 250-µm fiber buffer coatings from 125-µm optical fiber, as well as stripping 1-mm fiber jackets using the hole at the tip.
Designed for field use and data center environments, this tool features factory-set blade tolerances to ensure smooth, clean strips without the need for manual field adjustments. The construction includes ergonomic, comfort-grip handles and a locking mechanism to keep the blades safely closed when not in use.
