Fiber-Optic Cable Scissors



With high-carbon stainless steel blades, these scissors cut through fiber-optic and electrical cables, even those that are made with Kevlar. They’re also good for cutting wire jackets and cable ties. Use the wire-cutting notch to hold your items in place, so they won’t slip as you cut them. Attach the pouch to your belt to keep these scissors close at hand.

Scissors for Wire Cutting and Stripping




Also known as electricians' shears, the back edge of the blade has a file to clean contacts.
Serrated blades grip material to prevent slipping.
The wire-stripping notch is for 19- and 23-gauge wire.
Nickel-plated blades have a coating for durability. Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated blades maintain their sharp cutting edge longer than uncoated stainless steel blades. They also have a nonstick surface. The stainless steel under these coatings is corrosion resistant, so your scissors won’t rust if the coating wears away.
Use optional handles to get more leverage for cutting. They also reduce hand fatigue when making repeated cuts.

Static-Control Scissors for Wire Cutting and Stripping

Protect sensitive equipment from harmful static discharges while cutting and stripping wire. The handles on these scissors drain static away from the blades. Also called electricians’ shears, these scissors have a file on each blade to clean electrical contacts. The blades are stainless steel, which resists corrosion from water and mild chemicals.

Fiber-Optic Tool Kits


Cut and strip fiber-optic cable.
2-piece kits include a wire cutter with high-carbon stainless steel blades that are strong enough to cut through optic fibers, wire insulation, and cable ties. They also include a wire stripper that has three openings for stripping different thicknesses of fiber-optic cable jackets down to the glass fiber.
11-piece kits include a variety of tools to support a wide range of applications. Along with a standard wire cutter and wire stripper, there are three additional cable strippers and a ringer to handle an array of fiber-optic cable jacket shapes, sizes, and buffer coatings. To make it easy to access your cable, there are pliers, a flashlight, and a screwdriver. Use the wipes to clean optical surfaces, bare fibers, and connector ends.
