FF-KMS-K Longitudinal Cable Sheath Slitter

Performing mid-span cable slitting on outer plastic jackets can easily damage internal buffer tubes if blade depth isn't precisely controlled. The FF-KMS-K Longitudinal Cable Sheath Slitter solves this with its adjustable slitting depth and double-bladed knife made from hardened special steel. It operates smoothly at either the beginning or the middle of a cable run without creating jagged sheath edges. The impact-resistant plastic body stands up to tough outdoor field environments, and the ergonomic design ensures safe, simple handling with no risk of injury to field technicians.
