Banner Engineering's PFC-1 Hardware Kit centers on the PFC-1 cutting device, a fiber optic tool used to trim plastic optical fiber for Banner assemblies. It features four large cutting ports that accommodate larger core sizes such as 0.75 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm, as described in Banner's fiber installation literature. Banner notes that the PFC-1 cutting device is supplied with the fiber, including plastic fiber assemblies like the PIT46U model, making it the standard prep tool for field fiber preparation. The tool is lightweight, with an approximate weight of 0.02 lb, enabling easy handling in on-site setups.
