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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3-Port Segmented Fibre Stripping Design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VCFS-30 uses a three-stage stripping configuration for different layers of optical fibre protection:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Large Aperture – Outer Protective Sleeve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. Intermediate Aperture – Outer Protective Layer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intermediate aperture is suitable for stripping approximately 0.9mm outer protective layers and compatible fibre protection layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3. Small Aperture – Primary Fibre Coating\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Jaw Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurning the adjustment screw clockwise increases the aperture, while turning it counter-clockwise reduces the aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adjustment capability helps achieve controlled stripping performance while reducing the risk of excessive pressure on the optical fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurable 420 Stainless Steel Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main stripping body is manufactured from 420 stainless steel and treated through high-temperature quenching and surface polishing.
