Optical Fiber Tool Design

Multimedia is an indispensable part of modern life. To cope with the huge amounts of data this involves, data transmission systems use polymer or glass fiber optic cables to transmit digital signals in the form of light. These offer high transmission rates, low damping, high electromagnetic compatibility, small dimensions and light weight. Polymer fiber optic cable is used for short-distance applications requiring high strength, such as in automobiles and local networks,while glass fiber is used for high transmission quality across long distances, for example in telecommunications networks. Multimedia devices are connected by plugs. Good transmission quality and low damping require clean, correct work with fiber optic cable.

That means:

• Precision end cuts (cutting without polishing)
• Non-damaging insulation stripping to exact lengths
• Exact positioning of crimp connections for cables and insulation
• Safe opening of fibre bundles without damaging individual fibers

RENNSTEIG offers special tools for cutting, stripping, crimping and opening fiber optic cables and bundles.
