For this cable, use stripper 3CSK-GN from Cooper/Xcelite. The stripper requires 2
blades.
1. To start with a squarely-cut cable end, open the stripper and place the cable so
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 inch. Do not score the conductor.
b. Expose the braid another 1/4 inch. Do not score the braid.
c. Remove and discard excess dielectric, foil and braiding.
3. Fold the braid back over the jacket.
