Jonard Mid Span Slit and Ring Tool

The PATENTED and award-winning Jonard Mid Span Slit and Ring Tool is designed to provide easy access to optical fibers encased in an outer jacket. Building on the popularity of the Jonard Tools MS-6 and MS-26 Fiber Optic Mid Span Slitting Tools, we have incorporated a ring feature in the tool to make it even more versatile.

Features:

• Consists of precision slitting grooves and precision ring grooves
• One side of the tool performs radial/ring cuts and the other side slits the cable (longitudinal cut)
• Compact design weighing less than 8 oz with included tethering hole makes it perfect to use in tight spaces or on the go
• Indicator line on top of the unit indicates the position of the blade for accurate slitting and ringing
• Replacement blade sets available (Part numbers in the Specification Section)
• Blades last for 5,000 slits/cuts
• All of the MS Series Mid Span Tools are patented for their unique design and functionality. The MS-426 won the 2019 Cabling Installation & Maintenance Gold award for innovation and our MS-6 won the same prestigious award in 2018!
