2. DESCRIPTION
The Coaxial Cable Stripping Tool automatically strips
coaxial cable with jacket diameter of 2.54 to 7.62 mm
[.100 to .300 in.], with minor adjustments. Shipped
with the tool is one color–coded cassette, four
V–blocks and a hex wrench.
Kits come in two styles: a 2–step kit for 2–step
stripping, and a 3–step kit for either 2–step or 3–step
stripping. (the 3–step kit will accommodate both
2–step and 3–step cassettes.)
Cassettes have pre–set strip lengths. Refer to
instruction material for your connector to determine
your strip requirements, then refer to Figure 2 to find
which cassette meets your strip requirements.
