Jonard MS-326 Mid Span Slit & Ring Tool - 5 mm to 10 mm Thin-Walled Microduct Cables
The MS-326 microduct fiber cable slit and ring tool is designed to provide easy access into fiber optic cables specifically designed for use in micro ducts. These cables have a thin wall jacket design that is difficult to open without causing damage to the buffer tubes inside, but the MS-326 addresses that concern. The MS-326 will also slit open thin wall buffer tubes.
Building on the popularity of Jonard Tools' MS-6 and MS-26 fiber optic mid span slitting tools, Jonard has incorporated a ring feature into the MS-326, making it even more versatile.
The MS-326 consists of 5 precision slitting grooves and 5 ring grooves ranging in size from 5mm to 10mm.
Note: This tool was designed for Corning fiber cables, MiniXtend® binderless FastAccess® and HD MiniXtend®, as well as other similar styles.
