Cable cutter Alantec ML NI048 — straight cutting length 8" (20.3 mm)

Handheld Alantec ML cable cutter NI048 is designed for making precise straight, non-bevelled cuts in electrical and communication cables. The tool provides an 8" (20.3 mm) straight cutting length and a compact form factor that fits typical electrician and technician toolkits. Its geometry and blade alignment are intended to deliver controlled manual cuts for installation, maintenance and repair tasks where a clean, accurate end on the conductor or jacket is required.

Advantages

The cutter offers a defined straight cutting length of 8" (20.3 mm) that enables repeatable, uniform cuts without beveling. Its handheld design and balanced weight make it suitable for one-handed operation in confined spaces. The blades are aligned to minimize deformation of cable jackets and conductors during cutting, supporting neat terminations and reliable connections. The compact construction reduces tool bulk in service carts and pockets.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical power cables to length during installations
• Trimming communication and data cables for connector termination
• On-site maintenance and repair tasks requiring straight-end cuts
• Work in confined spaces where a compact manual cutter is needed

Key specifications

• Straight cutting length: 8" (20.3 mm)
• Cut style: straight, non-bevelled cut
• Tool type: handheld manual cable cutter
• Application: electrical and communication cables
• Form factor: compact for easy handling and storage

How to use

Place the cable into the cutting jaws at the desired location for a straight cut and close the handles evenly until the blades pass through the cable. Ensure the cable is positioned so that the cut length corresponds to the required stripped or termination length. Use controlled, steady pressure to avoid crushing the jacket or deforming conductors. After cutting, inspect the cable end for a clean, square face before proceeding to stripping or connector attachment.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow local safety procedures when cutting live or potentially live conductors. For repeated heavy-duty cutting, verify blade condition regularly and replace the tool if blades become nicked or deformed to maintain clean straight cuts.
