Accelerate your low-voltage infrastructure prep and ensure pristine terminations with the heavy-duty TRENDnet Universal Stripping and Cutting Tool (Model TC-CT70). Engineered for field technicians, structural network installers, and telecom professionals, this all-in-one preparation instrument provides clean, precise sheath separation without nicking delicate copper conductors or dielectric layers. Whether managing dense twisted-pair distributions or rugged coaxial runs, this essential field tool streamlines your toolkit by replacing multiple single-purpose strippers with one reliable unit.
Constructed from high-impact, lightweight ABS composite, the TC-CT70 features an ergonomic, spring-loaded ring loop grip that enables easy indexing and fluid 360-degree rotation during score cycles. The tool incorporates an adjustable blade depth dial, allowing you to configure customized blade exposure depths to match varying insulation jackets. Built to handle standard UTP/STP networking media, multicore flat or round telephone cables, and thick multi-shielded coaxial lines, this tool delivers the mechanical efficiency required to prevent core distortion and preserve return loss metrics.
Key Features
- Universal Cable Compatibility: Effortlessly strips multi-shielded RG59, RG6, RG11, and RG7 coaxial drops as well as standard unshielded (UTP) and shielded (STP) Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 networking trunks.
- Multi-Format Wire Cutting: Integrated precise inline shear elements easily clean-cut flat or round 4-position (4P), 6-position (6P), and 8-position (8P) voice and data cables.
- Adjustable Blade Depth Gauge: Features a built-in thumb screw dial to adjust the blade score depth, protecting underlying foil shields, braids, and copper strands from damage.
- Ergonomic Open-Ring Architecture: Formed with a smooth finger-loop channel and contoured hand plates to offer stable, non-slip leverage during fast rotations.
- Integrated Stripping & Measuring Guides: Molded layout indicators on the housing help ensure accurate strip lengths before crimping modular plugs or punching down blocks.
- Rugged and Lightweight Design: Fabricated from ultra-dense ABS resin that minimizes tool-bag payload weight while withstanding harsh jobsite conditions and tool drops.
