The RG-11 Installation Tool
Overview The Modicon 490RIO0S411 is used to strip RG-11 cable for installation of F
connectors. There are two blades in an installation tool insert. The first blade is
designed to cut through the cable to the center conductor, cutting away the jacket,
the shields, and the dielectric. The second blade is designed to cut off only the jacket
leaving as much braid as possible under it.
