COMPTYCO AUA-M8 Fiber Optic Hot Stripping Pliers – Thermal Fiber Stripper (1–48 Core, Rechargeable)

The COMPTYCO AUA-M8 Thermal Fiber Stripping Pliers is a professional-grade hot stripping tool designed for FTTH installation, fiber preparation, and high-core ribbon cable stripping.

Unlike traditional mechanical strippers, the AUA-M8 uses controlled thermal heating to gently melt and remove the outer plastic sheath of optical fibers. This ensures:

• Faster stripping speed

• Cleaner fiber surface

• Reduced risk of fiber core damage

• Improved splice quality

The side-open clamp design allows easy placement of ribbon and multi-core fibers, making it suitable for 1 to 48-core fiber cables. Its rechargeable design makes it ideal for field operations and outdoor deployment.

This tool is especially useful for technicians handling high-density ribbon fibers where precision and efficiency are critical.

Why Choose Thermal Stripping?

Traditional mechanical stripping can:

• Damage fiber core

• Cause uneven stripping

• Increase splice loss

The AUA-M8 hot stripping method:

• Ensures uniform coating removal

• Minimizes fiber stress

• Improves overall splice quality

For professional installers, this means more reliable fiber connections and fewer splice failures.
