The FF-170 Armoured Cable Sheath Stripper is an indispensable tool for preparing heavy-duty outdoor optical cables.

At a reference price of $9 USD (SKU: FF-170), it provides outstanding reliability and efficiency for field cable termination crews.

Stripping armored optical cable sheaths in the field can be difficult, but FirstFiber's FF-170 round cable slitter makes jacket removal fast and safe. The durable stainless steel construction withstands daily field abuse across harsh job site environments. It handles both round fiber optic cables and non-fiber configurations within the 3–32mm range with great precision. For $9, this lightweight slitter is an essential addition to any fiber splicing or cable preparation kit.

From a telecom installation perspective, the FF-170 Cable Sheath Stripper delivers clean sheath removal that protects delicate buffer tubes and glass fibers inside. The slitter's 0.15 kg lightweight design makes it easy to handle in tool pouches during aerial or vault work. Its ability to cut through tough armored shielding on cables up to 32mm diameter significantly reduces cable preparation time before splicing. It represents fantastic value and high practical utility for enterprise cabling projects.
