Ripley® Miller ACS+ Heavy-Duty & Armored Cable Slitter (4 mm - 28.6 mm)

The Ripley^® Miller ACS+ Adjustable Armored Cable Slitter is designed to work on jacketed and jacketed-armored multi-fiber cables. Its primary function is to provide midspan or end access to loose tube fibers by slitting the outer jacket or armor layer on OSP (outside plant) fiber optic cables.

The ACS+ is an upgrade that combines the trusted performance of the Miller ACS and ACS-2 models with enhanced features for even greater efficiency. Ideal for armored fiber feeder, central tube, and stranded loose tube fiber optic cables—as well as a variety of non-fiber armored cables—the ACS Plus slices through both the polyethylene jacket and corrugated copper, steel, or aluminum armor in a single smooth step.
