Fiber Optic Kevlar Scissors | Serrated High-Carbon Steel for FTTH Precision Cutting

All fiber optic technicians experience the same issue… After removing the pigtail jacket, you are left staring at a chaotic bundle of yellow Kevlar. Regular scissors cannot cut through the aramid strands; fibers just fold over or slip while cutting, leaving you with unfinished work or unusable connections.

With these micro-serrated Kevlar scissors, this issue is eliminated! The moment you squeeze the scissors, the serrated blades nip the ends of the yarn, resulting in a clean-cut surface. There is no chance of sloppy cuts or needing to retry for a proper cut.

The hardened blades are made from 3CR13 stainless steel and treated with a special heat treatment, meaning they are less likely to rust when used outdoors, and they will keep their edge for hundreds of cuts. Combined with the soft silicone handles, they provide comfort and control in the hand.

Cutting Performance

Watch a pro at work. One person can strip 20 FTTH pigtails in one morning. To do this correctly, each yellow Kevlar bundle must be cut accurately. These scissors do it all. The micro-serrated edge of these scissors gives them multiple cutting points, which prevent the aramid yarn from slipping out of the way as you cut through it. This means the ends of the cut yarn will be flat and even, and they will be ready for either epoxy or mechanical splicing. No stray strands. No weak connections.

Field-tested scenarios:

• CATV repairs: Quick access to cuts through Kevlar
• FTTH drops: Clean preparation for field termination
• Lab production: Consistent cuts for the assembly of optical devices

Designed for Telecom Professionals

Telecom crews require reliable tools. These scissors meet that requirement. The scissors’ 145 mm length was designed for a balance of control and portability. The soft silicone handles contour to your grip. Even after splicing for hours at a time, your hand will remain comfortable while using them. The total weight of the scissors in packaging is less than 100 g, which makes them perfect for ladder work and working in tight crawl spaces.

Pro workflow integration:

1. Strip the outer jacket with precision strippers
2. Cut the Kevlar cleanly with these scissors
3. Prepare fiber for splicing or termination
4. Completed with a professional finish!

Proper Maintenance = Long Life

To keep your scissors cutting like new, it is essential to follow these simple care steps:

1. After every job, wipe the blade with lint-free paper or tissue.
2. Do not use these scissors to cut materials such as metal, hard plastics, or anything that is not aramid.
3. Store them in a dry place with the blades covered whenever possible.

Pro Tip: Most technicians can expect to get two or more years of daily use from the scissors if they are cleaned after every job. The heat-treated steel and silicone handles are crafted to withstand much greater levels of wear than typical cutting tools sold in big box stores.

Why Telecom Techs Trust These Scissors

In the toolbox of compromises, these scissors stand out among their peers. Their engineering was focused on one task: cutting Kevlar in fiber pigtails. The design has been perfected to accomplish that. No generic blades that dull instantly. No slippery metal handles to lose your grip on while using them. Just performance engineered for a specific application. By pairing the scissors with FTTH stripper kits, you will have the ultimate solution for terminating all types of fiber pigtails.

In conclusion: If your reputation is based on the quality of your connections, you require tools that never fail on a daily basis. The scissors will earn your trust every time you use them.
