Abstract
A method and tool for accessing optical fibers contained in a buffer tube is provided. The buffer tube is held in a hourglass shaped bore formed by the mating engagement of first and second members. The mating engagement of the first second members also causes the engagement of cutting blades with the buffer tube. As the tool is drawn along the buffer tube, a chord of protective covering is removed from the buffer tube, providing access to the optical fibers held within.
