Cable Preparation Stripping Tools

All IDEAL compression connectors require a standard 1/4” X 1/4” cable preparation. This preparation (see instructions below) leaves 1/4”

of the center conductor exposed and an additional 1/4” of the shielding exposed. Prep tools are available in single, two or three blade

models. Two blade models are the most commonly used type of stripping tool for coax compression as they remove both 1/4” sections at

one time during the prep. Single blade models require two separate stripping actions for cable preparation. IDEAL has several models of

cable preparation tools that are compatible with compression connectors, each having various feature choices such as user adjustable blade

depths, replaceable blades, number of active blades, product size and hand motion required to prep the cable. Use the compatibility chart

below to identify a tool that meets your preferences and installation requirements.
