Cable sheath stripper Rittal 4054400 for cable diameter 6–20 mm, manual hand tool

Rittal Cable sheath stripper 4054400 is a manual hand tool for precise removal of outer jackets from round cables with diameters between 6 and 20 mm. Designed for workshop and on-site use, the tool enables repeatable sheath stripping that preserves conductor integrity and speeds up cable preparation for electrical, telecommunications and data installations. Its manual operation requires no power source and provides straightforward control when working with a range of common cable sizes.

Advantages

The tool provides controlled, uniform stripping depth to reduce the chance of nicking or cutting conductors. Its compact, hand-operated design makes it convenient for both installation technicians and maintenance personnel, allowing use in confined spaces and on ladders or scaffolding. The stripper is compatible with a wide range of round cable jackets and offers simple adjustment to accommodate the specified diameter range of 6–20 mm. Built for repeatability, it supports consistent results across multiple cables without complex setup.

Suitable for

• Preparing electrical power cables and single-conductor round cables
• Stripping jackets from data and communication cables on installation sites
• Workshop cable assembly and pre-termination preparation
• Maintenance and repair tasks where controlled manual stripping is required

Key specifications

• Cable diameter range: 6–20 mm
• Operation type: manual hand tool (no power required)
• Function: outer jacket/sheath stripping for round cables
• Suitable work environment: workshop and on-site use
• Design focus: precise, repeatable stripping with reduced conductor damage risk

How to use

Position the cable within the tool following the diameter adjustment for the target 6–20 mm range, secure the cable, and rotate or operate the stripper as indicated by the tool design to cut and remove the outer jacket. Adjust the stripping depth and position before applying force to ensure only the jacket is removed. Work steadily and inspect the conductor after stripping to confirm insulation or conductor strands are undamaged. Clean the tool and check cutting edges regularly to maintain reliable performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool only on round cables within the specified diameter range, and verify settings on scrap pieces if uncertain. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, follow local electrical safety rules, and replace or service the tool if cutting edges become dull or alignment changes to ensure consistent stripping quality.
