COMPTYCO AUA-FK828 8–28.6mm Fiber Optic

COMPTYCO AUA-FK828 8–28.6mm Fiber Optic Cable Slitting Knife – Armored Cable Stripping & Opening ToolShort Description (Bullet Points)Extended Stripping Diameter Range: Engineered for stripping outer armor and jackets on larger feeder cables ranging from $8\text{ mm}$ to $28.6\text{ mm}$ in diameter.Dual-Direction Stripping Capability: Supports both longitudinal slitting along the length of the cable and transverse (cross) cutting around the circumference.$90^\circ$ Rotatable Cutter Bar: Effortlessly switch blade orientation between cross-cutting and longitudinal slitting modes by rotating the side cutter bar $90^\circ$.Precision Adjustable Blade Depth: Features a dial-calibrated bottom blade height adjustment screw to precisely control cut depth and protect inner optical fiber buffer tubes.Brass Guide Wheel Assembly: Equipped with a gold-toned brass guide wheel that tracks along the cable groove for smoother, labor-saving operation and increased stability.High-Quality Aluminum Alloy Construction: Lightweight yet extremely durable aluminum alloy frame designed for long-term field installation and maintenance work.Replaceable Blade & Components: Built with a specially made, replaceable alloy blade and removable components for easy maintenance.Long Product DescriptionThe COMPTYCO AUA-FK828 Fiber Optic Cable Slitting Knife is a heavy-duty, professional-grade opening tool engineered for stripping armored fiber optic cables, copper lines, and thick jacketed cables with outer diameters from $8\text{ mm}$ to $28.6\text{ mm}$. Crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, this robust slitter delivers exceptional durability and control during demanding field deployments.Designed for versatile cable preparation, the AUA-FK828 allows technicians to execute both longitudinal slitting and transverse (across) cutting. Switching between modes is quick and intuitive: simply engage the cutter bar to pivot the internal alloy blade $90^\circ$. The integrated gold brass guide wheel glides along the cable sheath, stabilizing the cutter, keeping it aligned in the pulley groove, and significantly reducing operational effort.To prevent costly damage to internal optical fibers and buffer tubes, the tool incorporates a precision blade height adjustment screw at the bottom. By rotating the knurled dial, you can fine-tune the cutting blade depth to match the exact jacket thickness of armored PE or PVC sheaths. Complete with an adjustment hex key and a compact carrying box, the AUA-FK828 is an essential tool for optical network construction, cable mid-span entry, and maintenance.Technical Specifications TableFeature / ParameterSpecification / DetailBrand & ModelCOMPTYCO AUA-FK828Tool TypeArmored Cable Stripper & Slitting KnifeStripping Diameter Range$8\text{ mm}$ to $28.6\text{ mm}$Stripping ModesLongitudinal Cutting & Transverse (Across) CuttingBlade Rotation Angle$90^\circ$ Rotatable Cutter BarBody MaterialHigh-Quality Aluminum AlloyGuide Wheel MaterialBrass / Alloy AssemblyBlade MaterialSpecially Made Alloy (Replaceable)Depth Adjustment MechanismBottom Blade Height Screw with Dial ScaleIncluded AccessoriesHex Wrench / Knife KeyPackage DimensionsApprox. $13.8 \times 7.5 \times 4\text{ cm}$Packed WeightApprox. $310\text{ g}$Product Analysis & Keypad BreakdownRotary Nut: Upper knurled nut used to secure and adjust the upper guide wheel fixture.Guide Wheel: Brass pulley wheel that stabilizes the cable during slitting along the groove.Guide Wheel Retaining Screw: Fixes the guide wheel unit to the upper frame assembly.Alloy Blade: Hardened cutting tip designed to slice through metal armor and tough plastic jacketing.Rotatable Cutter Bar: Side lever used to rotate the blade $90^\circ$ between longitudinal and cross-cutting orientations.Blade Fixing Screw: Secures the replaceable blade in position within the cutter stem.Blade Height Screw & Rotary Nut: Bottom-mounted dial with numerical depth scale for precise setting of blade depth.
