Cable Opening Tools

K-5 Loose Tube Opener

Five grooves, ten blade points, one pull: lay the loose tube in the groove sized to it — 1.5–1.9, 2.0–2.4, 2.5–2.9, 3.0–3.3 or 3.5–3.8 mm — close the hinged shells until the latch clicks, and draw the tool along. A blade point in each shell scores the tube wall from both sides at once, so the tube splits open lengthwise and the fibers lift out untouched.

Key features

• Five grooves cover the loose tubes used across FTTH and backbone cables — 1.5–1.9, 2.0–2.4, 2.5–2.9, 3.0–3.3 and 3.5–3.8 mm — so one pocket tool opens any standard buffer tube in the cable
• Ten blade points, five in each shell, score the tube wall from both sides at once: the tube splits into two halves along the draw instead of tearing, and the halves peel away from the fibers cleanly
• Nothing to set: each groove is sized to its tube range and the blade points stand at a factory pre-set depth, so the score runs through the wall and stops there — the 250 µm fibers inside are never touched
• Hinged shells with a snap latch: lay the tube in the groove, close until it clicks, and pull — the same action opens a tube at the cable end or windows one mid-span inside a closure
• The entry holes on the side face double as a quick gauge: hold the tube against the holes, pick the one it matches, and open the tool to that groove
• Pocket-size moulded body at about 46 g, with the blades covered when the shells are latched shut — it rides safely in a kit or a pocket between jobs
• Supplied neutral and unbranded as standard; private labeling is made to your requirements — labels with your logo, part numbers and barcodes on the inner boxes and outer cartons, so the goods arrive ready for your warehouse
