The ACS 2 from Ripley Miller is designed to work on jacketed or jacketed and armored multi-fiber cable.
Their main purpose is to gain midspan access to fiber optic conductors by slitting the outer jacket or jacket and armor on the above cables.
The ACS 2 is designed with a precision adjustable blade to avoid damage to the fibers. The cable outer diameter range is 5/32” - 25/64”(4mm - 10mm) and the blade can be set up to .215”(5.5mm) deep.
