that 1/4 – 5/16 inch of cable extends past the first blade. Then close and latch the
stripper and rotate around the cable 3 – 4 times.
2. Open the stripper and adjust stripping blades until the correct dimensions are
achieved as shown in the figure above. Then strip the cabling.
a. Expose the center conductor 1/4 – 5/16 inch. Do not score the conductor.
b. Expose the dielectric another 1/4 inch without braid.
c. Expose the braid an additional 1/4 inch. Do not score the braid.
d. Remove and discard excess dielectric, foil and braiding.
3. Place the connector over the prepared cable end.
