The Corning Cable Systems Optical Fiber Access Tool (OFAT) is designed to provide mid-span fiber access in standard Corning Cable Systems ALTOSĀ® Cables. This rugged hand tool will accommodate buffer tubes from 2.4 to 3.0 mm. The OFAT clamps over a buffer tube. As the tool is pulled along the buffer tube, two offset blades split the tube without damaging fibers inside.
