Article summary
Fujikura’s reusable RT-02 prepares temporary 12-fiber ribbons from loose 200 µm or 250 µm fibers without adhesive, according to AFL. The appropriate fiber holder is part of the process; the tool is not a universal substitute for every ribbon preparation method.
Industry relevance
Our assessment: match the preparation workflow to the cable and holder system. Removing an adhesive step may change handling, but compatibility, training and repeatable test results still govern the useful choice.

AFL identifies this as Fujikura’s reusable, glue-free tool and publishes specifications and operation instructions. It is distinct from US Conec disposable clips.
No model-specific patent attribution is asserted in this overview. Product origin is grounded in the manufacturer documentation.
AFL is listed by Fujikura as its North American distributor. The source is AFL’s official documentation, not an unidentified seller.
Before preparing fibers
- Confirm coating diameter, pitch, fiber count and the compatible holder combination against the operation instructions.
- Use the intended loading sequence and preparation tools. Do not transfer adhesive-based clip instructions into this glue-free process.
Validate the result
Demonstrate the complete strip, cleave, splice and test routine with the actual customer cable. Record recurring preparation problems before attributing performance to the ribbonizer alone.
