Fiber optic toolkit Extralink EX.18730 — 12 elements, professional fiber optic tool set

Extralink EX.18730 — 12 elements, professional fiber optic tool set is a compact toolkit designed for field technicians working on installation, termination and maintenance of fiber optic links. The set groups essential hand tools required for preparing fiber cables, performing precise cleaves, handling connectors and carrying out on-site repairs. Its compact form factor and organized layout make it suitable for transport to installation sites and for use in confined working areas.

Advantages

The toolkit provides a consolidated set of fiber optic hand tools that covers common tasks in fiber preparation and connectorization. Components are selected to enable accurate cable stripping, controlled cleaving and safe handling of delicate fiber. The compact case keeps tools organized and protected during transport, while the included instruments are suitable for repeated field use. The set reduces the need to carry separate individual tools and speeds up routine maintenance and installation procedures.

Suitable for

• Preparation and termination of single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables
• On-site splice preparation and connector assembly
• Routine maintenance and repair of fiber optic links in telecom and data networks
• Field installation in indoor and outdoor environments

Key specifications

• Contents: 12-piece set including essential hand tools for fiber work (strippers, cleaver-compatible blades/knife, scissors, tweezers and accessory tools)
• Tool type: manual hand tools designed for fiber cable preparation and connector handling
• Portability: compact, protective carrying case for organized storage and transport
• Materials: corrosion-resistant metal and durable plastics for repeated field use
• Compatibility: suitable for standard fiber optic cable jackets and connector assemblies used in telecommunication and data installations

How to use

Arrange required tools from the case before starting work and verify each instrument is clean and in good condition. Use the cable stripper to remove the outer jacket and buffer coating to the required length, then employ the precise cutting tool or cleaver-compatible blade to obtain a clean fiber endface. Use tweezers and scissors for handling aramid yarn and trimming protective elements, and apply connector assembly or polishing procedures as required by the connector type. Store all tools back in their designated slots after use and clean or replace blades where necessary to maintain cutting quality.

Usage recommendations

Inspect blades and cutting edges regularly and replace them when signs of wear appear to maintain clean cleaves. Work in a well-lit, dust-free area and handle fiber ends with care to avoid contamination or injury; dispose of fiber scraps in a designated container. Follow connector and splice manufacturer instructions for assembly and testing to ensure reliable optical performance.
