Overview
The Ripley Miller DS-60-C is a precision-engineered fiber optic scribe featuring a durable diamond blade with a 60-degree cone tip. It is designed for high-accuracy "scratch and pull" scribing applications, allowing technicians to consistently prepare fiber end-faces for termination.
Built for the field environment, the scribe incorporates a robust stainless steel shaft that resists corrosion and wear. The integrated retractable barrel provides essential protection for the diamond tip when not in use, while the built-in pocket clip ensures easy transport for technicians working in data centers or remote installations.
