Tawaa FT11301T 3-Hole Fiber Optic Stripper

Tawaa FT11301T 3-Hole Fiber Optic Stripper: Overview

The Tawaa FT11301T is a 3-hole fiber optic stripper for ISP technicians, FTTH installers and fiber splicing teams who need to prepare optical fiber quickly and cleanly. One hand tool strips the outer jacket, the buffer and the coating, so you do not have to switch between separate strippers while you work on a joint closure or a drop cable.

Fiber preparation is the first step of every splice and connector job. A clean strip without nicks on the glass gives the cleaver and the splicer a good start, which means fewer failed splices and less rework in the field. This genuine Tawaa tool is a simple, everyday item that belongs in every fiber toolkit.

Key Features

• 3-hole design: three stripping holes in one tool, each for a different layer, so the whole strip sequence is done with a single tool in your hand.
• Strips jacket, buffer and coating: handles the full preparation from the outer jacket down to the bare fiber before cleaving.
• Hand tool, no power needed: works anywhere, on a pole, in a manhole or on a rooftop, and is not affected by load-shedding.
• Compact size: fits easily in a pocket, tool pouch or splicing kit next to your cleaver and alcohol pad.
• Genuine Tawaa product: a branded tool rather than an unbranded copy, for more consistent stripping holes.

Best For

• FTTH and FTTx drop cable installation for home and office connections.
• ISP field teams doing splicing, repair and fault restoration work.
• Fiber patch cord and pigtail preparation before fusion splicing or fast connectors.
• Training new technicians in correct fiber preparation.

Setup and Usage Tips

• Use the holes in order: outer jacket first, then buffer, then coating, matching each layer to the right hole.
• Hold the stripper square to the fiber and pull in one smooth motion; twisting or bending can scratch or break the glass.
• Strip only the length your cleaver and splicer need, then clean the bare fiber with an alcohol wipe before cleaving.
• Keep the holes free of coating debris and store the tool closed so the blades stay aligned.
• Collect stripped bits and fiber shards in a waste box; small glass pieces are dangerous to skin and eyes.

FAQs about Tawaa FT11301T

Q: What does the 3-hole design actually do?
A: Each hole is meant for a different layer of the fiber, so with one tool you can remove the jacket, the buffer and the coating step by step before cleaving.

Q: Can I use this stripper for both drop cable and patch cord work?
A: It is designed to strip jacket, buffer and coating, which covers common fiber preparation tasks. If you work with an unusual cable size, tell us the cable type and we can confirm before you buy.

Q: Do I still need a cleaver after stripping?
A: Yes. The stripper only prepares the fiber. A fiber cleaver is needed to make the flat end face required for fusion splicing or fast connectors.
