COMWAY CS-09 Ribbon Fiber Thermal Stripper — One-Pass Stripping for Data Centers & FTTx
The COMWAY CS-09 is a professional ribbon fiber thermal hot stripping clamp engineered to match the throughput of mass fusion splicers in high-density fiber environments. Stripping 2 to 12 core ribbon fiber in a single pass at a consistent 105°C, the CS-09 eliminates the manual stripping bottleneck in data center builds, backbone projects, and large-scale FTTx deployments. It is a direct compatible replacement for the Fujikura RS02 and RS03 ribbon strippers.
When deploying a ribbon fusion splicer such as the Fujikura 88R or COMWAY C10R, manual ribbon stripping is typically the slowest step in the workflow. The CS-09 solves this by thermally softening and removing the full ribbon coating in one controlled pass — keeping your splicing team running at full speed without fiber damage or inconsistent strips.

Who Is the CS-09 Best For?
The COMWAY CS-09 is the ideal ribbon fiber thermal stripper for:
- Data center cabling teams performing high-density ribbon fiber splicing with mass fusion splicers
- Backbone network contractors who need consistent, high-speed ribbon stripping across large fiber counts
- FTTx/FTTH deployment engineers working with 2–12 core ribbon cable in volume splicing environments
- Telecom contractors seeking a cost-effective, compatible alternative to the Fujikura RS02 or RS03
CS-09 vs. Manual Ribbon Stripping
Manual stripping of 12-fiber ribbon cable is slow, inconsistent, and risks damaging individual fibers within the ribbon. The CS-09's thermal heating technology uniformly softens the ribbon coating before removal — delivering cleaner strips, zero fiber breakage risk from mechanical force, and a stripping speed that keeps pace with today's mass fusion splicers. For any high-volume ribbon splicing project, the CS-09 is the professional standard.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many ribbon fiber cores can the COMWAY CS-09 strip at once?
The CS-09 strips 2 to 12 core ribbon fiber in a single pass, covering all standard ribbon cable configurations used in data centers, backbone networks, and FTTx deployments.
What temperature does the CS-09 operate at?
The CS-09 operates at a fixed, consistent 105°C — the optimal temperature for clean, damage-free thermal stripping of standard ribbon fiber coatings without excessive evaporation or residue.
Is the COMWAY CS-09 a replacement for the Fujikura RS02 and RS03?
Yes. The CS-09 is a direct compatible alternative to the Fujikura RS02 and RS03 ribbon strippers, offering equivalent ribbon stripping performance at a competitive price point.
Why use a thermal ribbon stripper instead of manual stripping?
Manual stripping of 12-fiber ribbon is slow, inconsistent, and risks damaging individual fibers. The CS-09's thermal stripping softens the ribbon coating uniformly for clean, one-pass removal — matching the speed of mass fusion splicers and eliminating fiber damage caused by mechanical force.
Is the CS-09 suitable for data center fiber preparation?
Yes. The CS-09 is specifically designed for high-density data center and backbone ribbon cable projects, where stripping speed and consistency are critical to maintaining mass fusion splicer workflow efficiency.
What is the difference between the COMWAY CS-06 and CS-09?
The CS-06 is a versatile thermal stripper for single-core, bundle, and ribbon fiber with adjustable temperature settings — ideal for FTTH and general splicing. The CS-09 is purpose-built for 2–12 core ribbon fiber at a fixed 105°C, optimized for high-speed data center and backbone ribbon splicing workflows where maximum throughput is the priority.
Does the CS-09 work with all mass fusion splicers?
The CS-09 is compatible with ribbon fiber prepared for use with any standard mass fusion splicer, including the Fujikura 88R, COMWAY C10R, and other ribbon splicers that accept 2–12 core ribbon fiber. It is a standalone stripping tool and does not require a specific splicer brand.
