Replacement Blade for Fiber Optic Fiber Stripper AI-9/FOC (AI-9/FCB) by No name

Replacement blade compatible with the AI-9/FOC fiber optic stripper model AI-9/FCB. This spare blade is designed for precise shearing of fiber jacket and buffer materials during fiber preparation and termination. It restores cutting performance for technicians and workshops that use AI-9/FOC style strippers and helps maintain consistent fiber end preparation in field and repair environments.

Advantages

The replacement blade provides accurate, repeatable cuts and is shaped to match the original stripper geometry for reliable jacket and buffer removal. It helps extend the service life of the stripper tool by allowing worn or damaged edges to be replaced without changing the entire device. The blade is intended to deliver stable trimming performance, reduce the risk of fiber nicking when installed and adjusted correctly, and support efficient maintenance workflows.

Suitable for

• Field fiber technicians performing fiber preparation and termination
• Workshop and laboratory use for routine maintenance and repair of fiber stripping tools
• Replacement in AI-9/FOC style strippers where original blades are worn or damaged

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for AI-9/FOC style fiber optic strippers
• Function: cutting and trimming of fiber jacket and buffer materials
• Material and finish: metal cutting edge suitable for precision shearing (standard industrial blade material)
• Dimensions: form-factor matching AI-9/FCB blade slot for direct replacement
• Intended use: field and workshop replacement part for maintenance

How to use

Ensure the stripper is clean and free of debris before replacing the blade. Remove the worn blade following the original tool’s disassembly procedure, taking care to note blade orientation. Install the replacement blade in the same position and secure any fasteners to the manufacturer’s recommended torque or tightness. Verify alignment by performing a test strip on sacrificial fiber and adjust tool tension or blade position as required to achieve a clean jacket and buffer removal without nicking the glass fiber.

Usage recommendations

Use the replacement blade with compatible AI-9/FOC style strippers only. Inspect the blade periodically for burrs or damage and replace it when cutting quality degrades. Wear eye protection and follow standard fiber handling safety procedures to avoid injury from loose fiber fragments and sharp edges.
