- FIBER OPTIC TOOL KIT: This kit includes 3 pieces, i) FO3S-853 5.5 inch fiber optic cable stripper, ii) FOC-851 5.5 inch Kevlar cutter and iii) nylon holster with belt loop. Both tools are needed to completely prepare the fiber cable for termination.
- CABLE PREPARATION WITH FIBER CABLE STRIPPER FO3S-853: Three hole fiber optic cable stripper has three different size notches to strip all three layers protecting fiber cable -- 2-3mm outer jacket down to buffer coating, 600-900 micron tight buffer coating down to 250m coated fiber, and third 250 micron cladding down to 125 micron bare fiber without scratching or damaging the fiber core itself. A convenient stripping guide is marked on the blade. Each of the three holes is precisely set to strip the three elements of the fiber cable – outer jacket, buffer and cladding. Each cable stripper is tested for tolerance which is indicated on a label on the packaging.
- PRECISE KEVLAR CUTTING FOC-851: Designed specifically for cutting Kevlar yarn in fiber optic cables with precision and minimal effort. One blade is micro-serrated to avoid slippage and deliver precise cutting. It can, however, cut other composite materials such as Dyneema, Vectran, Spectra, Nomex, and other high-strength materials in thread, tape or fabric form.
- SUPERIOR QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: Both tools are made from high carbon Japanese steel, the strippers and Kevlar cutter host sharp edged blades hardened to HRC 60-62 and require less force for stripping function. The handles are made from TPR for comfort and non-slip grip. They are spring loaded to reduce stress from repetitive cutting / stripping. A safety lock protects the blade as well as the user and allows the stripper to be easily stored when not in use.
- PORTABILITY: The stripper is small in size (5.5 inch / 138 mm) and light weight (2.4 oz / 68 grams). The Kevlar cutter is also compact (5.5 inch / 138 mm) and light weight (2.1 oz / 59 grams). The small and compact design is ideal for storage and for carrying in tool boxes as technicians move between job sites.
- SAFETY AND COMFORT: Spring-loaded mechanism with a locking safety latch to protect blades and users when not in use, ensuring safe handling and storage. Ergonomically designed handles made from TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) for a non-slip and comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive use. A pouch is included for additional safe keeping whether in toolbox or on a belt loop.
- APPLICATIONS / VERSATILITY: Ideal for applications in fiber optic cable assembly, splicing, termination, and repair, making it a must-have tool for telecommunications and IT professionals.

Three-Hole Fiber Cable Stripper (FO3S-853): The FO3S-835 three hole fiber cable stripper performs all common stripping functions on all three elements of the fiber cable – outer jacket, buffer and cladding. The three holes have three different size notches to strip 2-3mm outer jacket down to buffer coating, 600-900 micron tight buffer coating down to 250mm coated fiber, and third 250 micron cladding down to 125 micron bare fiber without scratching or damaging the fiber core itself. Each tool is tested for tolerance and the measured tolerance is printed on a label stuck to the packaginThe superior performance is derived from high quality material, expert blade technology, and quality of performance testing.
These strippers are made from high carbon Japanese steel, blade edges are hardened to Rockwell standard and grinded to very sharp edges- all to deliver precise stripping action with comparatively less required force. The stripper has swing lock mechanism for human safety and to protect stripping blade edges when not in operation. It is spring loaded to reduce hand fatigue. The handle grip is coated with TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) for non-slip grip action and comfort. A long tang through the grip allows efficient force transfer and durability. Kevlar Shears (FO3S-853): The Ascend Tools FOC-851 Kevlar Cutter is a compact yet powerful tool designed to tackle the challenging task of cutting Kevlar fibers embedded in fiber optic cables. Built with high-carbon Japanese steel, the FOC-851 ensures precise, clean cuts with minimal effort, preventing fraying or damage to adjacent cable layers. Its ergonomic design incorporates Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) handles, providing a secure and comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Weighing just 2.4 ounces and measuring 5.5 inches in length, this lightweight tool is ideal for technicians who need portability without sacrificing quality. The spring-loaded safety latch ensures the blades remain securely locked when not in use, providing peace of mind during transportation and storage. Designed for versatility, the FOC-851 is indispensable for fiber optic cable preparation tasks such as assembly, splicing, termination, and repair. Whether you're an IT professional, telecommunications technician, or fiber optic engineer, the Ascend Tools FOC-851 Kevlar Cutter is an essential addition to your toolkit.
