Why purchase quality tools from FIS?
Buying a cheap tool for the sake of saving money is always a bad idea. You should always consider two things when making a purchase - Price & Quality. Quality tools last a lifetime and always perform better.
Do You Have the Correct Tool?
If you have ever worked on fiber optics you know the correct tool means all the difference in the world. To get the job done correctly and quickly you must rely on the proper fiber optic tools. There are so many tools available and choosing the correct one can be an issue. At Fiber Instrument Sales, we pride ourselves on maintaining a huge inventory and the knowledge to help you get the correct tool. Almost every facet of fiber installation requires a specialty tool.
Tools & Tool Kit Menu
A fiber optic tool kit contains go-to equipment. A must for any professional technician. With the correct product selection in portable cases, the technician can do the job correctly, and easily and keep the network running efficiently. Having the right test equipment in your kit saves time and money. It also ensures that the fiber network installation has minimal reflectance for faster speeds. We offer standard ready-to-go kits, or we can custom-build a tool kit to your specifications. Whether you are conducting a fiber optic test, installing fiber optic connectors, or performing a fiber optic fusion splice, these tool kits will make it easier for the technician to do their job the right way. Rugged portable cases help keep those tools and equipment in order and are easy to bring to the work area.
The handheld Tool Bag comes equipped with all the necessary items needed for any tech to complete the job. The kit includes a variety of hand tools, a 2.5mm Visual Fault Locator w/ 1.25mm adapter, a 25ft tape measure, an LED flashlight, and FIS cleaning supplies. The padded handle and adjustable shoulder strap make for easy carrying.
The right stripper helps makes your job easier. To prepare the fiber for fusion splicing, the protective acrylate or polymer coating around the optical fiber must be removed. Whether you use a Manual Mechanical Stripper or a Thermal Ribbon Stripper, we can help you choose the correct tool. Typically, there are two popular ways to strip optical fiber. They are mechanical and thermal. In the mechanical method, a handheld stripper like any other wire stripper is used. However, the fiber optic stripper is designed specifically for optical fiber. These strippers are precise when used correctly. They strip away the fiber coating and expose the fiber without damaging it. When stripping ribbon fiber, a thermal fiber stripper is most often used. This stripper is designed to heat the fiber coating and then strip it away.
Tools with durable blades cut cleanly and should fit comfortably in the hand. Quality cutting tools that have high leverage enable easy cutting.
Whether you are cutting mid-span or removing outer jackets the correct fiber tool will do the job easier and more accurately.
A mid-access tool allows you to easily access a single fiber tube in a multi-fiber cable as well as a ribbon fiber optic cable. It splits the buffer tube with no damage to the fibers inside.
When working with optical fiber, you do not want your work to be compromised by accidentally damaging fiber. These quality tools are made specifically for fiber applications. These tools belong in any professional’s tool kit. Precision cutting knives, nut drivers, screwdrivers, or pliers will help get the job done without incident.
A fiber optic scribe is used to create a precision-controlled break of an optical fiber after it is inserted into a connector ferrule. The perpendicular, flat surface of the fiber at the end face of the connector prepares the ferrule for polishing. Crimp tools are used to secure a fiber optic connector to the cable it is terminating.
These simple tools make the job of fishing for fiber in tough locations such as suspended ceilings, subfloors, or crawl spaces much easier. They are designed for pushing or pulling fiber over long distances. They are lightweight in design to minimize fatigue.
