FF-407 Cable Jacket Slitter

Evaluating the FF-407 Cable Jacket Slitter for mid-span cable cutovers, the four dedicated guide channels (supporting loose tube outer diameters of 1.5–1.9mm, 2.0–2.4mm, 2.5–2.9mm, and 3.0–3.3mm) allow quick, accurate longitudinal slitting on outdoor buffer tubes. The specially crafted super alloy blades cut cleanly through loose tube jackets without damaging fragile internal optical fibers. Its compact, lightweight housing fits easily into any technician's pouch. At a reference price of $5 USD (SKU: FF-407), it is an essential cable preparation tool for field splicing crews.
