= preferred tool.
Following the descriptions is a section describing how to correctly strip coaxial cable.
RG-6 is the recommended coaxial cable, but RG-11 cabling is used for some
installations.
Strippers
For RG-6 coax cable, use Xcelite coaxial cable stripper (3CSK-GN).
For RG-11 coax cable, use Cooper cable stripper, RG11 Maxi-Corex 360.
3
Outer conductor or foil — Either solid aluminum tube or an aluminum foil wrap. The cable
size is usually derived from its outside diameter.
4
Braid — Interwoven strands of aluminum or copper mesh. It extends the conductivity of
the outer conductor to the sleeve of the connector.
5
Jacket — The black polyethylene coating over the aluminum outer conductor protects it
from scratches or abrasions during handling and provides a weather-tight seal. The
jacket on plenum cable is made of teflon specified by fire codes.
