Jonard Tools FOD-2000 Fiber Optic Cable Slitter

Jonard Industries is the manufacturer of the FOD-2000 fiber optic drop cable slitter, which is designed to cut slits in 0.250" flat drop fiber optic cables at the end or mid-span. This tool is specifically created to provide access to the fiber or strength member on both sides of the cable. Additionally, it can be used to cut mid-spans, making it a versatile option for telecom, fiber optics, and electronic industries.

The company, established in 1958 and based in Tuckahoe, NY, ensures that its products comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directives. The FOD-2000 slitter has received awards for its innovative design, which simplifies the process of cutting 0.250" flat drop cable jackets at mid-span or end sections. This makes it an ideal tool for FTTH technicians working with flat drop fiber cables.

The FOD-2000 slitter is designed for quick and easy use, as it can slit both sides of the jacket simultaneously, allowing for effortless access to the fiber or strength members. It is specifically intended for use with Corning cables, capable of slitting flat cables measuring 0.305" to 0.350" wide and 0.155" to 0.185" high. This makes it suitable for Corning SST-Drop flat cables with a jacket thickness of 0.03” to 0.04”.

One of the key benefits of the FOD-2000 slitter is its ability to prevent damage to the fiber. When in use, it separates the jacket and strength members from the buffer tube, ensuring that the fiber remains undamaged. Additionally, the slitter comes with two reversible blades that are preassembled and can be reversed when worn, effectively doubling the tool's lifespan. This feature enhances the durability and longevity of the FOD-2000, making it a practical and cost-effective choice for professionals in the industry.
