The remaining 0.25 inch will be exposed, bare copper.0.25 inch will have braided shield exposed over hard foam insulation.The strip will be 0.5 inches long from the end of the black cable jacket to the tip of the copper conductor.This is perfectly normal and is the second level cutting blade slicing its way through the braided cable shield. When you start turning the tool, you will feel and hear a grinding noise. Once you set up your cable to be stripped, as shown above, ease the tool lever down and make several rotations with the tool. Only insert enough cable, so there is no excess protruding, like this… To strip the coaxial cable, press the tool handle down to open the jaws and then place it into the dual-level strip channel. Don’t try and cut steel center conductors as the blade will be destroyed. Note that it is safe to cut coaxial cable that has a solid copper conductor and CCA (copper clad aluminum) center conductor. Step 1Īgain, we will assume that the cable needs to be cut to length and stripped. Cutting and Stripping RG6 Coaxial Cableįor this demonstration, we will use RG6 double-shield, solid-copper conductor cable. That is what you want.scored but not cut. Viola! The score is perfect when you can bend the cable jacket a couple of times, and it “pops” open. ![]()
