ABSTRACT:
For removal of the protective coating of cables, in particular optical 12-fiber ribbons and other optical multi-fiber ribbons, a tool has several movable segments that each remove a portion of the coating. Each of the segments has a pair of blades positioned in opposition to cut into the cable coating from opposite sides, dividing the coating to be stripped into small pieces. The segments are moved longitudinally along the cable to strip the cut coating. The segments are linked together for a chain-reaction type movement, that is, movement of any one segment begins only when the preceding segment has moved a set distance. Thus, in a single operation, the coating is stripped in small pieces, and the force applied to the tool operates sequentially on small pieces cut by each segment, which lowers the force needed to be applied to the tool.
