Mid Span Slit & Ring Tool (5.8mm-12mm)
DESCRIPTION
The PATENTED and AWARD-WINNING MS-426 Mid Span Slit and Ring Tool is designed to provide easy access to optical fibers in Prysmian ESMF Optical Mini FlexTube® cables (as well as other thick-walled 5.8 to 12 mm diameter jackets, including Corning equivalent cables). Building on the popularity of the Jonard Tools MS-6 and MS-26 Fiber Optic Mid Span Slitting Tools, we have incorporated a ring feature in the tool to make it even more versatile. This tool features the following:
- Consists of 4 precision slitting grooves and 4 precision ring grooves ranging in size from 5.8 mm to 12 mm
- One side of the tool performs radial/ring cuts and the other side slits the cable (longitudinal cut)
- Compact design weighing less than 8 oz with included tethering hole makes it perfect to use in tight spaces or on the go
- Indicator line on top of the unit indicates the position of the blade for accurate slitting and ringing
- This tool was specially designed for use on Prysmian ESMF Optical Mini FlexTube® cables and other similar style cables, including Corning equivalent cables
- Lifetime Warranty
Groove Sizes: 5.8-6.4 mm | 7.8-8.4 mm | 9.8-10.4 mm | 11.2-12 mm
