Applications

Developed specifically for technicians working with central tube ribbon cables, the UCTS (Universal Central Tube Slitter) tool opens ribbon central tubes easily and safely with one pull! Once the tube is opened, rotating the jaws and spinning around the tube enables a precise and clean ring-cut to remove the excess tube, leaving the ribbon fibers undamaged.

With just a turn of the dial, the blades can be adjusted to work on all central tube sizes between 4.75mm - 18.5mm. The UCTS makes MID-SPAN ribbon tube access a snap.

The smaller range of this tool may also work for many "Ribbon in Loose Tube" (RILT) designs. Check with your cable manufacturer prior to using this tool on anything other than Central Tube Ribbon designs.
