What Is MARSHINE Pen-Style Coaxial Cable Stripper?
A pen-style coaxial cable stripper is a compact hand stripping tool which was designed to remove the outer jacket and insulation layers of coaxial cables with precision. Its pen-shaped body makes it easy to hold and control during operation. Unlike ordinary knives or cutters, it can ensures the accurate stripping depth, well protection of the internal conductor, and the faster and cleaner cable preparation results. Coaxial cables are widely used in the television systems, satellite installations, broadband internet, and security camera networks. So a proper cable preparation is essential for reliable signal transmission and secure connector installation. MARSHINE HLT-323 Pen-Style Coaxial Cable Stripper (RG59/6/7/11) is designed to strip coaxial cables quickly and accurately, making it an essential tool for technicians and installers.
So How Can I Use MARSHINE Pen-Style Coaxial Cable Stripper Properly?
Cut the cable to the desired length
Cut the coaxial cable with a cable cutter.
Make sure the end of cable is straight.
Do not flatten or distort the cable as you cut it.
A nice and clean cut will help you to strip more accurately and easily.
Place the cable into the stripping slot
Take the your MARSHINE HLT-323 Pen-Style Coaxial Cable Stripper (RG59/6/7/11) and:
Put the end of the coaxial cable in the stripping slot.
Insert the cable until the proper depth.
The blades inside are arranged to cut away the outer jacket and the two layers of insulation.
Rotate the Tool Around the Cable
Tighten the cable with one hand and rotate the stripper with the other.
2-3 times around the axis of the cable with the instrument.
Apply light pressure when you rotate.
Check if the blade cut through the insulation evenly.
These blades score the outer layers of the cable.
Pull off the stripped layers
After rotating the tool:
Move the stripper away from the cable.
Take off the cut pieces of outer jacket and insulation.
You should be able to see now:
The center conductor exposed;
The dielectric insulation layer;
The braided shielding;
Make sure the inner conductor is not damaged.
Prepare the Cable Shield
Pull the braided shielding back over the cable jacket.
Make sure the shielding is distributed evenly.
Don’t let the center conductor bend.
This is in preparation for putting a connector on the cable.
Mount the Connector
After the cable is stripped correctly:
Slide on the coaxial connector over the cable.
Make sure the center conductor goes through the tip of the connector.
Tighten the fitting with a coaxial crimping or compression tool.
A good strip equates to a good connection.
