Jonard FOD-2000 Fiber Optic Drop Cable Slitter

Overview

The Jonard FOD-2000 is a lightweight cutter with a plastic handle, weighing about 0.1 kilograms, roughly 3.5 ounces.

Jonard is a brand best known for telecom and datacom hand tools, and the light weight and plastic handle here point to a tool built for cable or wire rather than heavy metal stock, though the listing does not state a specific cutting capacity or wire gauge. That context is useful for narrowing down fit, but buyers working with a specific cable type should confirm capacity against the manufacturer's spec sheet before ordering.

• Brand: Jonard, model FOD-2000
• Plastic handle construction
• Item weight: 0.1 kilograms, about 3.5 ounces

Who it's for

Suits anyone needing a light, plastic handled cutter for cable or wire work, particularly if they already use other Jonard tools in a telecom or datacom setting. Not the pick for cutting thick metal stock, where a heavier hardened steel cutter would be a better match.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At roughly 3.5 ounces with a plastic handle, this is built for control and light use rather than raw cutting force, which fits Jonard's usual focus on telecom and datacom tools. What that means for a specific wire gauge or cable type is not stated in this listing, so it is worth checking against the job at hand.
