Overview
The US Conec 16764 Disposable Ribbonizer is a specialized tool designed to create 1x4 ribbons from 250µm optical fibers. This tool is essential for the preparation of fibers prior to termination with MT and PRIZM® MT multi-fiber connectors, as well as for mass fusion splicing applications.
Constructed with a molded PE body and a stainless steel wire spring, the ribbonizer is engineered for durability and ease of use, even in confined workspaces. It enables the use of cyanoacrylate epoxy to achieve quick and effective ribbonization, resulting in a robust ribbon that can withstand rigorous cable preparation processes.
