AFL FST-12 Ribbon Fiber Separation Tool (12-Fiber Ribbon Jaw Set)

The AFL FST-12 Ribbon Fiber Separation Tool is used to quickly, accurately and reliably split ribbons into sub-groups or individual fibers for easy access. The ergonomic FST-12 design enables safe and reliable, one-handed operation for use in diverse fiber deployment environments, such as aerial and remote-site applications.

Features:

• Separates fiber ribbons into single fibers or sub-groups—even non-even splits.
• One-handed operation keeps the other hand free to guide the ribbon, reducing the risk of fiber damage.
• Compact, hand-held design saves workspace and excels in bucket truck or ladder-sling applications.
• Supports mid-span taut-sheath operations by enabling overlapping separations for precise fiber extraction.
• Standard configuration supports up to 12-fiber ribbons.
