Easy Ripping Colors Available Twisting Various types of ripcords for the optical fiber cable market
Safer and easier stripping
The rip cord also minimizes hazardous situations when working with cables. Compared to traditional sheathing, using a knife or pliers, the tear wire is very safe and easy to use. From a safety perspective, it is always better to make as little use of the knife as possible when working with cables.
Easy to get hold of the rip cord
It can be this simple to work with cables: The rip cord lies directly under the sheath, where you can easily get hold of it with a small cut. Grasp the rip cord and pull back to open the sheath, or pull the rip cord back with pliers. The cord makes a clean and tidy cut and can also be used as a tool to cut off excess sheath.
