Model Lineup · 6 Tools in 3 Classes

All mechanical strippers feature factory-set notches that require no adjustment. Stainless models use a martensitic grade for corrosion resistance.

Class 1 · Standard Mechanical Strippers XHT-T02-01 to XHT-T02-04 — the everyday workhorse, in three-hole or single-hole and high-carbon or stainless

Hole 1 / 2 / 3	2–3 mm jacket · 600–900 µm tight buffer · 250 µm coating → 125 µm fiber
Blade setting	Factory-set notches, no adjustment required; strips without nicking or scratching the fiber
High-carbon (left)	High-carbon steel — sharp edge, best value
Stainless (right)	Martensitic stainless — corrosion-resistant for humid and coastal sites
Handles / lock	Non-slip TPR grips; safety lock keeps the tool closed in storage
Best fit	FTTH / FTTA field installations and routine contractor work — all standard stripping in one tool; stainless for damp and coastal environments

Hole application	250 µm buffer coating → 125 µm bare fiber only
Blade setting	Factory-set, no adjustment; precision hole and V-opening prevent nicking the glass
High-carbon (left)	High-carbon steel — high edge hardness, best value
Stainless (right)	Martensitic stainless — corrosion-resistant, low maintenance
Best fit	Precision coating removal prior to fusion splicing, data-center / enterprise preparation and other nick-sensitive work

Class 2 · All-in-One Multi-Function Field Tool XHT-T02-05 — one tool replaces a full tool pouch: strip, cut and clean on site

Stripping holes	Large: 2–3 mm jacket · middle: 250–900 µm buffer · small: 125–250 µm coating → 125 µm fiber
Cutting notches	Steel-wire cutter · cross notch for metal-reinforced 3.0×2.0 mm flat drop cable · serrated aramid (Kevlar) cutter
Cleaner	Detachable fiber-cleaning clip — simple clamp-and-pull motion; replaceable cleaning pads
Kit includes	Tool, alcohol bottle, 10 replacement cleaning pads, hex key, storage box
Body / handle	Hardened steel body; non-slip grips; safety lock
Best fit	Pole- and wall-mounted field drop installations and budget-conscious field teams — strip, cut and clean with one tool in place of separate dedicated tools

Class 3 · Handheld Thermal Stripper XHT-T02-06 — cordless thermal stripping for single, ribbon and up to 32 fibers

Capacity	1–12 bundled fibers · 1–32 bare / ribbon / invisible fibers (125 µm cladding)
Strip length / blade	Up to 30 mm; 20 mm wide limit blade with precise gap control — removes coating without marks
Temperature	Dual modes, 8 settings — low 85/95/105/115 °C, high 110/120/130/145 °C (max 150 °C)
Power	Built-in 7.4 V, 2000 mAh battery — approx. 4 h / 400 strips per charge; auto power-off 6 min
Size / weight	107 × 45 × 32 mm; 170 g
Package includes	Thermal stripper, cleaning brush, USB charging cable, manual, 2 hex wrenches, hard EVA carrying case, retail box
Best fit	Field preparation of ribbon, bundled, bare and invisible fiber — clean, nick-free thermal stripping of multiple fibers in one pass

Typical Applications

• FTTH / FTTA drop and termination work — jacket, tight-buffer and 250 µm coating removal with a single three-hole tool.
• Coating removal prior to fusion splicing in closures, terminals and data-center / enterprise racks (single-hole precision tool).
• Ribbon, bundled and multi-fiber preparation using heat (up to 32 fibers), together with all-in-one field kits for crews carrying fewer tools.
• Boundary: mechanical strippers remove jackets and coatings only — they do not cut glass; the all-in-one tool integrates dedicated functions for convenience and is not intended to replace each separate tool. For outdoor jacket and armor opening, use XHT-T01.

Selection Guide & FAQ

Step 1 · Select the class — routine stripping: Class 1; single-tool strip / cut / clean for field work: Class 2; ribbon / multi-fiber thermal stripping up to 32 fibers: Class 3.
Step 2 · Three-hole or single-hole — three-hole to strip jacket, buffer and coating in one tool; single-hole where only the 250 µm coating is removed and maximum precision is required.
Step 3 · High-carbon or stainless — high-carbon for a sharp edge and best value; stainless for humid, coastal and long-term field use.

Q1. Is a stainless blade sharper? No — its advantage is corrosion resistance rather than a sharper edge. The martensitic stainless resists corrosion in damp environments.

Q2. When is a thermal stripper required? For ribbon, bundled and other multi-fiber coatings: heat softens the coating so up to 32 fibers release in a single clean, nick-free pass prior to cleaving and splicing.

Q3. MOQ and lead time? All six models have an MOQ of 1 with a reference lead of approx. 3 days; custom configurations and volume orders are quoted on request, and a sample can be arranged prior to volume production.

Ordering & Service

• Part number: XHT-T02-[01–06] — 01 three-hole high-carbon, 02 three-hole stainless, 03 single-hole high-carbon, 04 single-hole stainless, 05 six-port field tool with detachable cleaner, 06 cordless thermal stripper (up to 32 fibers).

• Orders are checked against the confirmed model and blade material prior to packing.
• Available as a matched set with cleavers and the FTTH termination kit.

Focus note: We cover fiber stripping across three classes, from the everyday mechanical tool to cordless thermal ribbon stripping. To confirm the correct model, send the coating / jacket diameter and a cross-section photo — we specify the appropriate tool and will not recommend more tooling than the application requires.
