Groword 8-28MM Wire Stripper for FTTH Armored Cables | Mid-Span & Coaxial Slitting Tool

Overview

The Groword 8-28MM Wire Stripper is a compact, purpose-built tool designed for armored fiber optic cables, FTTH installations, and coaxial runs. Its durable construction combines hard alloy steel and tool steel with an anodized aluminum housing, delivering a reliable feel in hand and steady performance in the field.

Engineered for versatility, the tool supports mid-span preparation with a 90-degree blade rotation. This enables ringing and slitting tasks without switching tools, helping you work more efficiently in tight spaces while protecting inner fibers from unintended damage.

Key Benefits

• Adjustable cutting depth: Safe, precise control up to 5.5 mm to accommodate varying jacket materials.
• Wide diameter range: Cuts armored cables from 0.315 in. (8 mm) to 1.102 in. (28 mm) outer diameter.
• Mid-span readiness: Rotating blade enables efficient ringing and slitting without repositioning the tool.
• Stable guidance: Roller-style cable follower supports smooth movement along the jacket for clean cuts.

Materials and Design

The tool uses a hard alloy steel blade body paired with tool steel blades, housed in a lightweight anodized aluminum frame. At 5.12 inches in length, it is smaller than the palm, making it comfortable to handle during extended use and easy to transport on job sites.

Real-world Scenarios

In field installations, technicians often need to access the armor sheath to reach fiber leads. This tool’s adjustable depth and rotating blade help strike a balance between removal and protection, supporting careful exposure of the cable jacket while preserving the integrity of surrounding conductors. Its compact size and stable follower make it a practical companion for feeder cables, center bundles, and layered armored configurations.

What to Expect

Groword designed this tool to enable clean, controlled cuts and reliable armor sheath access. While benefits vary with cables and conditions, users may experience smoother mid-span work, reduced rework, and improved workflow when handling armored fiber optic and coaxial cables.
