Hi

Does any one know what size Hex wrench/Alum Key is needed to unscrew the Grub screw in the end of a Older style Sea-sea Optical Fibre cable , as Had to cut cable as was damaged and now need to re attach the end.
from the looks of it the size must be 0.75mm-1mm or somewhere around that size , it is very tiny thats for sure .
if someone knows or knows a Contact email for Sea-sea that I could ask would be great
Thanks
Mark
Sorry don't know model number of Cable but is 7 years old Black all over inc Ends , ha one 90˚ bend in one end with small blue o-ring on each end.And held to cable with Hex Head grub screw.
 
My old optical cables use a 0.7 mm hex key. You can get a whole set of tiny ones from McMaster for about $1 (15 cents each for 0.7, 0.9 and 1.3 mm)
