Cutting fibre optic cable demands precision tooling that standard diagonal cutters cannot reliably deliver. The Knipex 72 51 160 is a 160mm diagonal cutter specially developed for cutting fibre optics, ensuring clean, accurate cuts where the integrity of the fibre end face is critical. The cutting face is flush, allowing the tool to cut fibres close to a surface without unwanted protrusion. The cutting edges are additionally induction-hardened to a hardness of approximately 63 HRC, providing substantially greater edge durability and resistance to wear than standard cutters. An integrated opening spring returns the jaws automatically after each cut, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive work. Supplied as a single 160mm diagonal cutter, this tool is suited to fibre optic installation, maintenance, and termination tasks in telecommunications, data cabling, and related trades where precise fibre cutting is required.
