ABSTRACT:
A cable armor stripping tool has a shoe for insertion between the core tube and the armor of a fiber optic cable. The shoe has a curved portion which is tapered for lifting and separating ends of the armor as the shoe is slid along the length of the core tube. The shoe is perferably an attachment for an R-4366 cable sheath stripper and is formed from stainless steel. The stripping tool is capable of removing armor from fiber optic cables or other types of cables of different sizes and of different materials without causing damage to the core tube or the fiber bundles. The stripping tool easily performs a mid-sheath entry and can expose the core tube in less time than when a rip cord is used.
