Preparing a Semirigid Cable for a Connector
Overview Instructions for use are included with the JCST-QR Jacket Coring Stripping tool.
Preparation may be done using a power drill if the ratchet handle has been
purchased. A drill adapter is included with this part.
How to Prepare
the Cable
Take the following steps to prepare the semirigid cable for a conductor.
Step Action
1 Cut the cable, keeping the end as round as possible.
2 Insert the cable into the tool and rotate the tool clockwise with a slight forward
pressure. This will remove first the dielectric, then the jacket and sheath.
3 Discard the stripped material and use the cleaner or scraper to remove any
remaining dielectric material from the center conductor.
