Stripping of flat cable for attachment of cable
end cap
We recommend use of the stripping pliers (95.350.0300.0) for
stripping the EVA 7 x 4 mm² (00.709.0504.1) as well as XLPE
7 x 4 mm² (00.729.0504.1) flat cables. These are equipped
with a cable stop that is specially designed for the flat cables in
question and thereby allow a clean stripping of the cables. The
end of the flat cable is placed into the stripping pliers and the
sheath is cut by a powerful press. Keep the pliers closed and
lock them using the yellow slider (slide in the direction of the
grip until it meets the stop). Slight tilting motions cause the
sheath to be separated and then safely stripped.
A training video regarding stripping of the cables and attachment of the cable end cap is available here:

Stripping of flat cables for connection to the distributor module or terminal strips
Scratch the sheath of the cable on the front and rear sides of the flat cable in the longitudinal and trans-
verse directions as shown in the following images. A standard cable stripping knife suffices for this pur-
pose. Do not scratch deeper into the rubber sheath than a maximum of 0.7 mm in order to avoid damage
to the insulation.
When using the stripping knife (95.350.0700.0), the blade protrudes by exactly 0.7 mm in order to pre-
vent any damage to the insulation. The stripping knife is supplied with a set of instructions.
CAUTION
Significant tilting motions can cause the insulation of the conductors to
be cut. Only tilt the cable slightly in the direction of the stripping pliers.
