1. For RG-11 riser coaxial cable, use stripper RG11 Maxi-Corex, 360.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.
a. Expose the center conductor 1/4 inch. Do not score the conductor.
b. Expose the braid an additional 1/2 inch (a total of 3/4 inch from the end of
the center conductor.) Do not score the braid.
c. Remove and discard excess dielectric, foil, braid and jacket.
3. Fold the braid back over the jacket. Then use the stripper to cut through to the
center conductor an additional 3/8 inch as shown below. Do not score the
