COMPTYCO AUA-F9 Fiber Optic Cable Slitting Tool – Cable Opening & Stripping Knife
Short Description
Dual-Direction Cable Stripping: Designed for both transverse (circumferential) and longitudinal (slitting) stripping of fiber optic cable outer sheaths.
Wide 8–30 mm Cable Compatibility: Suitable for optical cables with outer sheath diameters ranging from 8 mm to 30 mm, making it ideal for various cable preparation applications.
Adjustable Blade Depth: Features a built-in depth scale for precise blade adjustment, helping technicians control cutting depth and reduce the risk of damaging internal fiber components.
Durable Metal Cutter Head: Constructed with robust cast-metal cutter heads and sharp, durable blades for reliable performance during professional fiber optic installation and maintenance.
360° Transverse & Longitudinal Cutting: Rotate the tool 360° around the cable for circumferential cuts or use the handles to perform controlled longitudinal cable slitting.
Ergonomic Double-Handle Design: Dual molded handles provide a secure, comfortable, non-slip grip while reducing hand fatigue during extended cable preparation work.
Long Product Description

The COMPTYCO AUA-F9 Fiber Optic Cable Slitting Tool is a professional cable opening and stripping knife designed for efficient and precise preparation of fiber optic cables. It is suitable for FTTH installations, fiber optic maintenance, mid-span access, cable sheath removal, and other optical cable preparation applications.

Featuring a dual-direction stripping design, the AUA-F9 can perform both transverse (circumferential) and longitudinal (axial) cuts. This allows technicians to open cable sheaths efficiently without requiring separate tools for different cutting operations.

The tool supports fiber optic cables with outer sheath diameters from 8 mm to 30 mm, providing compatibility with a wide range of cable sizes. Its adjustable blade depth mechanism and integrated millimeter depth scale allow the cutting depth to be accurately set according to the cable sheath thickness. This helps minimize the possibility of accidentally damaging the internal fibers, buffer tubes, or other cable components.

For longitudinal cable slitting, the cable is positioned in the appropriate cutting channel and the blade depth is adjusted before guiding the tool along the length of the cable. For transverse cutting, the tool can be rotated 360° around the cable to create a clean circumferential cut through the outer sheath.

The AUA-F9 is equipped with a durable cast-metal cutter head designed for dependable performance in demanding field environments. The ergonomic double-handle construction provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing technicians to maintain better control during cutting operations while reducing manual effort.

Compact and practical, the COMPTYCO AUA-F9 Fiber Optic Cable Slitting Tool is a valuable addition to any professional fiber optic technician`s toolkit, particularly for cable sheath opening, mid-span access, longitudinal slitting, and circumferential stripping.
