Jonard Tools MS-326 Micro Duct Fiber Optic Cable Slit & Ring Tool (5 mm - 10 mm)

The patented MS-326 micro duct fiber cable slit and ring tool is designed to provide easy access into fiber optic cables specifically designed for use in micro ducts. These cables have a thin wall jacket design that is difficult to open without causing damage to the buffer tubes inside. The MS-326 addresses that concern. Building on the popularity of Jonard Tools MS-6 and MS-26 fiber optic mid span slitting tools we’ve incorporated a ring feature into the MS-326 making it even more versatile. The MS-326 consists of 5 precision slitting grooves and 5 precision ring grooves ranging in size from 5mm to 10mm. These include: Groove Sizes: 5.0 - 5.6 mm 6.0 - 6.6 mm 7.2 - 7.8 mm 7.8 - 8.4 mm 9.4 - 10 mm Easy to use: To perform a ring cut (circumferential cut), open the ring side of the tool, select the correct groove size, place the cable in the tool and close. Follow the rotation direction indicated by the arrow on the top cover, rotate the tool 3 times around the cable, then open the tool to remove the cable. To perform Slit cut (longitudinal cut), Open the slit side of the tool, select the correct groove size, place the cable in the tool and close. For Corning Fast Access Binderless cable use the marks on the side of the tool to help align the blade inside the ridges on the cable. This will provide the best slitting performance. Pull the tool in the direction of the arrow on the top of the tool. Open the tool and remove the cable. Pick apart the jacket along the slitting line to peel the jacket from the cable. Replacement blade set available. Part number MSB-5010.
