Fiber optic cable cutting tool structurally configured to provide consistent cutting of a cable jacket without damaging fibers in the cable jacket

A fiber optic cable cutting tool structurally configured to cut a fiber optic cable at a set length without cutting a fiber in the fiber optic cable, comprising:

• a body portion configured to receive a fiber optic cable;
• a cutting portion holding portion structurally configured to be supported by the body portion;
• a sliding portion structurally configured to be slidingly received by a portion of the body portion;
• wherein the cutting portion holding portion is structurally configured to receive a biasing portion and to fixedly hold the cutting portion;
• wherein the body portion includes a cable guide portion structurally configured to receive a fiber optic cable;
• wherein the cable holding portion and the cable guide portion are structurally configured to hold the fiber optic cable;
• wherein the cable guide portion is structurally configured to set a length of a jacket of a fiber optic cable to be cut by the cutting portion;
• and
• wherein the sliding portion is structurally configured to slide relative to the body portion so as overcome a force of the biasing portion and urge the cutting portion into the cable guide portion such that the cutting portion is configured to consistently cut a jacket of a fiber optic cable held by the cable holding portion and the cable guide portion along the set length as the body portion is slid relative to the fiber optic cable without cutting a fiber in the fiber optic cable.

A cable cutting tool structurally configured to cut a jacket of a cable at a set length without cutting elements contained by the jacket of the cable, comprising:

• a body portion structurally configured to receive a cable;
• a cutting portion holding portion structurally configured to be supported by the body portion;
• a sliding portion structurally configured to be slidingly received by a portion of the body portion;
• wherein the cutting portion holding portion is structurally configured to receive a biasing portion and to fixedly hold the cutting portion;
• wherein the body portion is structurally configured to set a length of a jacket of a cable to be cut by the cutting portion;
• and
• wherein the sliding portion is structurally configured to slide relative to the body portion so as overcome a force of the biasing portion and urge the cutting portion toward a cable held by the body portion such that the cutting portion is configured to consistently cut a jacket of the cable held by body portion along the set length as the body portion is slid relative to the cable without cutting elements contained by the jacket of the cable.
