The Channel Master Coaxial Cable Preparation Tool is commonly referred to as a cable stripper and is used to prepare coaxial cable for connector installation. Factory-calibrated coax cable stripper removes the right amount of cable jacket, cuts the braid and dielectric to the proper length, and exposes the center conductor in one smooth operation. Works on RG-6 and RG-59 standard-shield, tri-shield and quad-shield coaxial cables.
