Cable stripper Knipex 16 60 05 SB

The Knipex 16 60 05 SB cable stripper is designed for stripping coaxial cables (RG58, RG59 and RG62). It strips the outer sheath, shield and insulation in a single operation using three built-in blades. The tool has a compact plastic housing and a total length of 105 mm, making it lightweight and easy to handle for field and workshop work.

Advantages

The three blades allow simultaneous removal of multiple layers, while each blade’s cutting depth is adjustable individually with a hexagonal (Allen) key for precise results without damaging conductors. Blade spacing is fixed to maintain consistent performance. The impact-proof plastic housing keeps the tool durable and lightweight (approx. 73 g).

Suitable for

• Stripping RG58, RG59 and RG62 coaxial cables
• Television and CCTV installations
• Radiofrequency and antenna cable preparation
• Field servicing and workshop cable preparation

How to use

Place the coaxial cable into the stripper so that the blades align with the areas to be removed. Close or clamp the tool around the cable according to the tool’s design, then rotate or move the stripper as required to cut through the outer sheath, shield and insulation. Adjust each blade’s cutting depth with a hexagonal (Allen) key when needed to match cable dimensions and to avoid nicking the conductor. After scoring, remove the cut layers and inspect the conductor for damage.

Usage recommendations

Adjust blade depth before each different cable type and test on a scrap piece first. Keep blades sharp and replace if worn. Do not use excessive force to avoid damaging the conductor or the tool housing.
