Backround

Sophisticated data transfer systems more and more rely on fiber optics for analog and digital signal transmission.
High-speed data transfer, highly reduced data loss, no electromagnetic problems, small dimensions and a low weight are the main features that characterize fiber optics.
Conforming to the requested applications two different materials are used to fabricate optical fibres:

• polymeric fibres: for short distance transfer and installations in rough surroundings
• glass fibres: for high-quality and long distance data transfer.

Branching to terminals is done by plug connectors. When processing optical fibresit is most essential not to impair the quality of fibres.
The special pliers designed and manufractured by RENNSTEIG for cutting, stripping, crimping and releasing of optical fibres guarantee for
polymeric fibres:

• exact stripping to the defined length, no damage to the fibres as well as a firm crimping connection both for conductor and for insulation

• a safe opening of the mulitfibre buffer tube without damaging the fibres.
