Overview
The Ripley Miller FO 103-D250 is a precision dual-hole fiber optic stripper designed for the accurate removal of buffer coatings from optical fiber. This tool is specifically engineered for stripping 250µm buffer coatings from 125µm fiber without causing scratches or nicks to the glass.
Constructed with hardened and tempered cutting surfaces, this tool provides consistent, clean results. It features a secondary hole designed to strip 900µm tight buffer down to the 250µm buffer coating, facilitating longer stripping lengths for various fiber optic termination applications.
This stripper is factory-set and does not require field adjustments, making it a ready-to-use solution for technicians in data center and field network environments.
