Description
COMPTYCO VCFS-30 Three-Port Optical Fiber Stripping Pliers – Precision Fibre Stripper for FTTH & Fusion Splicing
Short Description (Key Features)
3-Port Segmented Stripping Design: Features three precision stripping apertures for removing different protective fibre layers without changing tools, allowing fast and efficient fibre preparation.
420 Stainless Steel Construction: Manufactured from durable 420 stainless steel with high-temperature quenching and surface polishing for high hardness, improved rust resistance and long service life.
Precision Fibre Stripping: Designed to provide clean, controlled stripping while helping prevent damage to the underlying 125`ecm glass optical fibre.
Multi-Stage Fibre Preparation: Supports stripping of 2–3mm protective sleeves, 0.9mm outer protective layers, 250`ecm coated fibre and 125–250`ecm primary coating layers.
Adjustable Jaw Tension: Built-in fine-adjustment screw allows technicians to fine-tune the stripping aperture for controlled and consistent operation. An Allen key is included.
Ergonomic Anti-Slip Handle: Blue PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable, secure grip and help reduce hand fatigue during repeated FTTH installation and fusion splicing work.
Integrated Safety Lock: Opening and closing lock buckle keeps the pliers securely closed during storage and transportation, helping prevent accidental injury.
Return Spring Mechanism: Internal spring-assisted opening provides smooth operation and makes repeated stripping tasks faster and more convenient.
Compact & Lightweight Design: Measuring approximately 16.3 × 6cm and weighing only 130g, the VCFS-30 is easy to carry in a technician`s tool bag.
Ideal for FTTH & Fusion Splicing: Suitable for fibre preparation during FTTH deployment, fibre termination, fusion splicing, network installation and maintenance.
Long Product Description
The COMPTYCO VCFS-30 Three-Port Optical Fiber Stripping Pliers are precision fibre preparation tools designed for FTTH installation, fusion splicing, fibre termination, network maintenance and optical cable preparation. By combining three stripping apertures into one compact tool, the VCFS-30 allows technicians to remove multiple layers of fibre protection efficiently without constantly changing stripping tools.
Manufactured from 420 stainless steel, the stripping pliers undergo high-temperature quenching heat treatment and surface polishing to improve hardness, durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The precision-machined stripping openings are designed to provide controlled removal of protective coatings while helping protect the underlying optical fibre.
3-Port Segmented Fibre Stripping Design
The VCFS-30 uses a three-stage stripping configuration for different layers of optical fibre protection:
1. Large Aperture – Outer Protective Sleeve
The largest stripping opening is designed for removing approximately 2–3mm soft rubber protective sleeves or outer protective material, providing access to the underlying fibre structure.
2. Intermediate Aperture – Outer Protective Layer
The intermediate aperture is suitable for stripping approximately 0.9mm outer protective layers and compatible fibre protection layers.
3. Small Aperture – Primary Fibre Coating
The smallest stripping opening is designed for removing the 125–250`ecm coating layer, exposing the 125`ecm bare optical fibre for subsequent cleaving and fusion splicing preparation.
Adjustable Jaw Mechanism
The VCFS-30 incorporates a jaw aperture adjustment screw that allows technicians to fine-tune the stripping tension according to the fibre coating and working requirements. The included Allen key makes adjustment straightforward.
Turning the adjustment screw clockwise increases the aperture, while turning it counter-clockwise reduces the aperture.
This adjustment capability helps achieve controlled stripping performance while reducing the risk of excessive pressure on the optical fibre.
Durable 420 Stainless Steel Construction
The main stripping body is manufactured from 420 stainless steel and treated through high-temperature quenching and surface polishing. This construction provides a strong and durable tool suitable for regular field use while offering improved resistance to rust and corrosion.
Ergonomic PVC Anti-Slip Handles
The blue PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable and secure grip. The anti-slip surface helps technicians maintain control during repetitive stripping operations and contributes to reduced hand fatigue during extended fibre installation or splicing work.
Safety Lock & Spring-Assisted Operation
An integrated opening and closing lock buckle allows the pliers to be secured in the closed position when not in use. This makes the tool easier and safer to store in a toolbox or carrying case.
The internal return spring assists the jaws in reopening after each stripping operation, providing smooth and efficient repeated use.
