The FOD-2000 fiber optic drop cable Slitter is a patented tool that simplifies the slitting of drop cable jackets at the end of the cable or mid-span and was developed specifically for FTTH technicians working with flat fiber drop cables. For flat cables, where the width is.305"-.350" and the height is.155"-.185". These are the dimensions of a typical Corning SST-Drop flat cable with a jacket thickness of 0.03-0.04 inches. The tool will work on other cables with similar dimensions. The FOD-2000 puts a slit on both side of the jacket allowing easy access to the fiber or strength member. The ease-of use makes this tool truly unique to use just position the tool around the cable, pull and slit. A simple twist of the cable allows the jacket and strength members to separate from the buffer tube leaving the fiber undamaged.
