CPT Cable Stripping Tools

Factory-calibrated to remove

the right amount of cable

jacket, cut the braid and

dielectric to the proper length,

and expose the center conductor

in one smooth operation.

To Strip Cable

1. Cut the cable to ensure that you have a square,

cleanly cut end. For best results, use Cable Prep

drop cable cutters.

2. While holding the tool, depress the lever. Insert

the cable across the cartridge so that its end is

facing in the direction of the arrow embossed on

the lever.

3. Let go of the lever. Supporting the cable with one

hand close to the tool, insert forefinger of other

hand into the large hole on the opposite end of the

tool. Spin the tool approximately three revolutions.

You will hear the blade cutting through the braid

and feel the tool spin freely. At this point you can

reverse the spin. Depending on the cable you are

using, the number of reverse spins will vary.

4. Grasp tool firmly around the cartridge without

depressing the lever and pull the tool away from

the cable.

TIP: If a longer center conductor is required,

extend the end of the cable past the edge of the

cartridge to the desired length, unless the tool body

is one that includes a stop.
