The Stripping Tool has been designed to safely cut the windows on the Riser Cable.

If used properly, it cannot damage the fibre units.

2nd window cut: “extraction

window”

1st window cut: “pick window”

The basic principle

5 Easy Steps

LAY the RetractaCable from Distribution Point along the Homes.

OPEN the RetractaCable in front of the homes to connect.

CUT the desired fibre module in the first next (from DP) opened cable spot.

PULL the cut fibre module out (retract), in case the length is > 50 meter a tool can be used for retracting, storage and pushing or blowing.

PUSH and/or BLOW the retracted fibre module through a drop duct up to the home.

The basic principle

Two ways to extract fibre modules

• Cut the fibre module one home further and splice the fibres in the home.

• Cut the fibre module 1.5m from the home and splice the fibres at the tap-off point
