It enables fibre technicians to open the protective tube in a controlled manner to access the optical fibres inside during installation, splicing, repair, and maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing six circular caliber grooves, the A-1233 accommodates loose tube diameters from 1.2 mm to 3.3 mm. The multiple groove design allows technicians to select the appropriate diameter position for the cable being worked on, providing better positioning and control during the stripping process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecision Longitudinal Stripping\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A-1233 is specifically designed for longitudinal tube opening, allowing technicians to make a controlled incision along the length of the loose buffer tube. This makes it suitable for applications where access to internal fibres is required without unnecessarily removing the complete protective tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6-Caliber Diameter Design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tool provides six dedicated circular grooves covering the following diameter ranges:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.2–1.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e1.5–1.8 mm\u003cbr\u003e1.8–2.1 mm\u003cbr\u003e2.1–2.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e2.5–2.9 mm\u003cbr\u003e2.9–3.3 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis provides a total working range of 1.2–3.3 mm, making the A-1233 particularly suitable for smaller loose buffer tubes and cable preparation applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlloy Double-Blade Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A-1233 uses upper and lower alloy blades to provide controlled cutting performance.
