Abstract

See full text

A tool is provided for the purpose of allowing access to optical fibers held within a buffer tube. The buffer tube is held in a closed channel formed by the engagement of a clamp against a main body. A blade is inserted from the main body into the buffer tube so as to define a chord across the cross section of the buffer tube. The tool is drawn along the buffer tube so as to remove a portion of its protective covering threby allowing access to the optical fibers held therein.
