This tool kit was tailored made for the installer so that they have one case that contains all the components that they will need to do SMI connector terminations in the field. "This tool kit can do all the jobs of installation". The FiberFin hand tool can terminate the fiber; strip the jacket to the proper length with consistent results every time, which is a must for the professional installer. The termination is done by clamping the POF cable into place and then squeezing it and then a very precise round razor blade can cut the cable with a scissor like action without damaging the fiber.
Damage to the fiber is a very common occurrence when you try to just cut POF with a normal razor blade, The exit cut will chip the fiber and cladding and the cut will not be as precise and perpendicular as with the FiberFin termination system that has a average attenuation loss 1.0 –1.5 db. The special blade on the FiberFin "all In One Tool" is mounted on a gear assembly that rotates the blade every time you cut a fiber so that you get even wear on the cutting blade and very constant fiber termination results. After 1270 cuts the cutting assembly will stop and prevent the usage of the unit, at this time you are able to put on the replacement cutting head that comes with the kit. The FiberFin's cutting system is a safe way to handle termination of POF as the cutting system is enclosed and user friendly. |
