Strippers

Striper is a tool that allows stripping of cables during installation. Cables have a different structure and depending on it, it is necessary to use appropriate stripers. They often have a spacing and depth of cut tailored to earn specific connectors on a particular guiding line. With such a tool, multiple layers of coaxial cable can be cut off with one movement. The tool guarantees precision, repeatability and speed of operation. In twisted pair we only chase the outer sheath. In addition, for shielded cables, we must properly cut and connect the shield. The most difficult thing when stripping insulation in twisted-pair cables is cutting the outer insulation in such a way as not to damage the insulation of individual cables. This will be hampered by the fact that the wires in the twisted pair are unevenly distributed.

Striper - how to use it?

Different types of cables have different diameters and insulation thicknesses . Therefore, strippers with adjustable incision depth should be used. During testing, the cutting depth should be set so that the outer insulation is not completely cut. The incision should be made in such a way that with gentle movement it is possible to remove the insulation.

The use of an appropriate stripper and its proper setting makes the work easier and minimizes the probability of damage to the connection.
