The Coaxial Cable Stripper provides a simple and adjustable way to prepare common coaxial cables for termination. Designed for RG58 (3C2V), RG59/62 and RG6, the handheld tool uses a double-blade stripping system to remove selected sections of cable insulation quickly and consistently.

Its adjustable design supports 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm stripping lengths, allowing installers to prepare the cable according to the termination requirements.

Key Features

  • Double-blade coaxial cable stripping tool
  • Fully adjustable design
  • Suitable for RG58 (3C2V)
  • Suitable for RG59
  • Suitable for RG62
  • Suitable for RG6
  • Adjustable stripping lengths
  • 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm insulation removal
  • Simple rotational stripping action
  • Compact handheld design
  • Suitable for cable preparation before connector termination

Adjustable Double-Blade Design

Two blades allow the stripper to remove sections of the cable covering as the tool rotates around the coaxial cable.

Unlike a fixed stripping tool, the adjustable mechanism lets the installer configure the stripper for the cable and required preparation length.

Correct adjustment remains important because coaxial cable contains several layers. Excessive blade depth may damage the braid, shielding or centre conductor, while insufficient depth can leave material that must be removed manually.

Engineering Decision

Choose this coaxial cable stripper when you need an adjustable hand tool for preparing RG58, RG59, RG62 or RG6 coaxial cable with selectable 4, 6, 8 or 12 mm stripping lengths.

Compatible Coaxial Cables

Cable TypeSupported
RG58 (3C2V)Yes
RG59Yes
RG62Yes
RG6Yes

Cable construction can vary between manufacturers. Therefore, adjust the blades to suit the actual cable before completing repetitive stripping work.

Adjustable Stripping Lengths

The tool supports four stated insulation-removal lengths:

Select the appropriate preparation length according to the connector and termination method being used.

How to Use the Coaxial Cable Stripper

Operation requires only a few basic steps:

  1. Select and adjust the tool for the coaxial cable.
  2. Set the required stripping length.
  3. Position the cable inside the stripper.
  4. Lock the tool over the cable.
  5. Rotate the stripper clockwise around the cable.
  6. Pull the tool away to remove the unwanted cable material.
  7. Inspect the prepared cable before termination.

For the first termination on a particular cable, inspect the result carefully and fine-tune the blade adjustment where necessary.

Why Blade Adjustment Matters

A coaxial cable contains more than an outer jacket. Depending on its construction, the cable also incorporates shielding, dielectric material and a centre conductor.

Consequently, correct blade adjustment helps remove the intended material without unnecessarily damaging the layers that need to remain intact.

When changing between RG cable types, check the adjustment again rather than assuming the previous setting remains suitable.

Typical Applications

This coaxial stripping tool suits cable preparation for applications involving compatible:

  • RG58 coaxial cable
  • RG59 coaxial cable
  • RG62 coaxial cable
  • RG6 coaxial cable
  • Communications cabling
  • CCTV cabling
  • Video cabling
  • RF coaxial cabling
  • Equipment installation
  • Cable repair and maintenance
  • Connector preparation

The final suitability depends on the cable construction and connector termination requirements.

Common Stripping Mistakes

Setting the Blade Too Deep

Excessive blade depth can damage cable layers that need to remain intact. Start cautiously and inspect the first stripped cable.

Using the Same Adjustment for Every Cable

RG58, RG59, RG62 and RG6 do not necessarily share identical construction. Check the blade adjustment whenever the cable changes.

Skipping the Final Inspection

Inspect the stripped cable before fitting the connector. Look for damage to the centre conductor, shielding or other required cable components.

Using the Wrong Strip Length

Match the 4, 6, 8 or 12 mm setting to the termination being installed rather than selecting a length arbitrarily.

Coaxial Stripper vs General Cable Stripper

A general-purpose cable stripper may suit many everyday cable-preparation jobs. However, coaxial cable has a layered construction that requires more controlled preparation.

This tool specifically supports the stated RG58, RG59, RG62 and RG6 coaxial cable types and provides adjustable stripping lengths for coaxial termination work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cable types can this coaxial stripper handle?

The supplied specifications list RG58 (3C2V), RG59, RG62 and RG6.

Is the stripper adjustable?

Yes. It has a fully adjustable design.

How many blades does it use?

The tool uses a double-blade stripping system.

What stripping lengths can I select?

The stated insulation-removal lengths are 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm.

Can I use it for RG6 coaxial cable?

Yes. RG6 is one of the specified compatible cable types.

Does it work with RG59?

Yes. The stripper supports RG59 coaxial cable.

Is RG58 supported?
