RS PRO Wire Stripper, 3mm Min, 10.5mm Max, 97 mm Overall

RS PRO Precision Cable Stripper

From RS PRO, this precision circular cable stripper is ideal for the preparation of coaxial cable and other multilayer cables up to 10 mm diameter. The cable stripper consists of three spring-loaded individual cutting blades which can be set at independent depths by continuously variable adjustment wheels, so that the different stages of stripping coaxial cable may be precisely controlled.

Twelve cable stops are provided (4 mm-15 mm in 1 mm steps) which, when fitted to the tool determines stripping lengths of braid, dielectric and inner conductor. Lengths may also be varied or finely adjusted by altering the depth of stop fitting. Once locked in position (locking wheels are provided) a cable may be inserted under each blade, butted against the appropriate cable stop in turn, and a few rotations of the stripper prepare cable ready for assembly to connectors and terminals.

The coaxial cable stripper features include arbitrary scales against the adjustment wheels to give a good indication of blade depth for repeatable operation. Also, one side wheel is colour coded, so that sequence of preparation can be easily identified. The center blade cuts insulation down to a minimum conductor diameter of 1 mm.

For precise and highly customizable cable stripping solutions, this tool is ideal.

A set of 3 spare blades is provided with each stripper, and replacement blades are available separately (RS 548-158.)

Features and Benefits

• Highly adjustable coaxial cable stripper
• Easy to use rotary action
• Removes outer jacket, braid, and dielectric in one motion

Applications

Wire strippers are a hand-held tool designed to remove insulation or outer sheath from electrical wires. Thought wire stripping can be achieved by other tools, such as knives or pliers, an automatic stripping tool is faster, more accurate and more efficient. Wire strippers create a neat and tidy cut to reveal wires, ready to be soldered or have a connector attached. These coaxial cable strippers are designed to prepare coaxial cable for immediate and convenient attachment to appropriate connectors.
