DROP CABLE STRIPPING TOOLS

PRINT THIS
PAGE

Each CPT tool is factory-calibrated to remove the right amount of cable jacket, cut the braid and dielectric to the proper length, and expose the center conductor in one smooth operation.

THE CPT ADVANTAGE

  • Three operations in one step
  • Hardened tool-steel blades
  • Factory-calibrated strip-back dimensions
  • Patented clean-out feature
  • Replaceable cartridges
  • Color-coded bodies and cartridges

APPLICATIONS

The CPT Series of cable stripping tools strip the jacket and cut back the braid and dielectric to the proper dimensions on braided and braid-replacement drop cables, including standard (single) through quad shielded RG-6, -59, -7, and -11 cables. CPT tools are also available for Belden, SCTE approved Commscope and Times Fiber Mini Coax, Plenum, Commscope® 59 Quad-series Headend, and Times Fiber TXFF cables.

Please see CPT Stripping Tools for Wireless Cables, CPT Stripping Tools for Fiber Cables, or Super CPT Stripping Tool for other CPT stripping applications.


SPECIAL FEATURES

An Ergonomic, Efficient Design
The CPT body is comfortable to hold and easy to operate with either hand. Because jacket, braid, and dielectric are cut with one simple motion, cables can be prepared quickly and easily.

Hardened, Tool-steel Blades
Made of the highest quality steel, CPT blades ensure optimum performance over a long life. Each cartridge can prepare 2,500 - 5,000 cables, depending on braid coverage.

Factory Calibration
Pre-calibrated dimensions for different applications help to ensure that jackets are stripped and braid and dielectric are cut back properly.

Patented Cleanout Feature
The patented cleanout feature of the CPT tool automatically removes excess jacket, braid, and dielectric from the tool after stripping.

Color-coded Bodies and Cartridges
Color-coding of the tool bodies and replaceable cartridges makes it easy to identify the right tool for the application. The cartridges snap easily into place.

Lightweight Durability
Rugged enough for the toughest jobs, lightweight CPT tools offer consistent, precision performance even under harsh conditions.


WARRANTY

All Cable Prep brand tools are warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material. The plastic CPT body has a lifetime warranty.
