TS8000-CIC: Cable Diameter Gauge Card
Lay of Cable
The max OD and part number of the appropriate die set are shown
next to each opening. Find the smallest opening in the gauge card that
the cable freely passes through without getting snagged or stuck.
Select the corresponding die set to strip the selected cable.
NOTE:
If the cable passes through the opening in the gauge card,
but scrapes the sides of the ID of the opening or gets stuck, the user
should select the next larger diameter die set.
The Cable Diameter Gauge Card should be utilized to select a die set.
• The “starting depth” for blade adjustment produces a very light score on cable jacket. Operator should adjust cutting
depth to preferred depth setting.
• 3 conductor die sets have a non-concentric shape. Therefore, 3 conductor die sets come with only 1 blade. The blade is
in the “B” side die. This will produce a single cut longitudinally on the cable.
• Tool allows for .001” incremental adjustments to blade cutting depth.
• Cutting blade depth adjustments are critical for correct performance. Cutting too deep into the cable will damage it
beyond repair. Small incremental adjustments reduce potential damage.
• Cable diameter and the # of inner conductors is critical to tool performance. Die sets should be matched to proper cable
diameter and # of inner conductors using the chart above.
• In some circumstances a larger die cavity may be needed to accommodate wire that is at the maximum OD for the
measured cable part number.
• Universal dies above are designed for cable with a left twist. Dies designed for cable with a right twist have an “R” in the
part number: TS
R
XXXX.
• Soft insulation may cause the cable to jam or stick during the stripping operation. Certain applications may not be suited
for this tool.
• Certain applications may need a custom die set. If die sets above are not suitable, call DMC at (407) 855-6161 for assistance.
