Cable Prep CPT-1250 Drop Cable/Coax Cable Stripper, RG6/RG59
The Cable Prep® CPT-1250 is a drop cable stripping tool for RG6 and RG59 cable. Coax cable stripper is factory calibrated to remove the right amount of cable jacket, cut braid and dielectric to .1/8" length, and expose the center conductor (1/4" with wire stop) in one smooth operation. The CPT stripper has a patented cleanout feature. The notched blade in the cartridge eliminates the risk of scoring the center conductor and cuts through the jacket, braid, foil and dielectric leaving the center conductor exposed. The shallow blade cuts through only the jacket of the cables.
The CPT-1250 cable stripper has a replaceable cartridge with steel blades that allows for up to 5000 uses - RBC-1250 blue cartridge (304X615).
The cartridge must be replaced when the blades are dull. Depending on the cable you are using, the number of cuts per blade cartridge varies. For best performance the blade should be kept free of any debris or floodant residue. If you see that the cut is not as clean, the braid is straggled, or the tool takes more revolutions to cut - REPLACE THE CARTRIDGE IMMEDIATELY. While holding the tool, depress the lever and grasp the cartridge on both sides. Then pull cartridge straight down and out. Reverse this process for cartridge installation and then snap the cartridge in place. Move fingers away from cartridge and let go of lever.
