Cabelcon RG6/RG59 Coaxial Cable Stripper with F-Connector Spanner – 98501040-02

Professional 2-in-1 Cable Preparation and F-Connector Installation Tool – Cabelcon, an Amphenol Company

The Cabelcon RG6/RG59 Cable Stripper with Integrated 11mm F-Connector Spanner is a compact, professional-quality installation tool designed to make preparing and terminating satellite and television coaxial cables quicker, easier and more accurate.

Manufactured by Cabelcon, an Amphenol company, this clever 2-in-1 tool combines a precision rotary coaxial cable stripper with a built-in 11mm hexagonal spanner for tightening F-type connectors.

Ideal for satellite, Freesat, terrestrial television and cable distribution installations, the tool is designed for RG6 and RG59 coaxial cables, including suitably dimensioned CT100, WF100 and similar satellite cables.

Its dual-blade cutting mechanism prepares the cable in a single operation, removing the outer sheath and inner dielectric insulation to produce the correct cable preparation dimensions for compatible F-type connectors.

The integrated F-connector spanner is particularly useful when tightening connectors in confined spaces, behind satellite receivers, on multiswitches or at LNBs.

Precise Cable Preparation in Seconds

Correctly preparing a coaxial cable is essential for achieving a reliable satellite or television connection.

Using a knife or general-purpose stripping tool can easily damage the cable's centre conductor, dielectric or screening braid. Incorrect stripping dimensions can also prevent connectors from fitting properly, resulting in poor electrical contact or unreliable reception.

The Cabelcon cable stripper is designed to simplify this process.

Its two precision cutting blades strip the cable in one operation, creating approximately 6.5mm of exposed centre conductor and 6.5mm of prepared screening braid, ready for fitting a suitable F-type connector.

This provides a consistent, professional result while reducing the risk of damage to the coaxial cable.

Built-In 11mm F-Connector Spanner

One of the most useful features of this Cabelcon tool is its integrated 11mm hexagonal spanner.

F-type connectors are frequently installed in awkward positions, particularly behind satellite receivers, televisions, multiswitches and at satellite dish LNBs.

The built-in spanner allows connectors with a compatible 11mm hexagonal nut to be tightened without carrying a separate spanner.

This makes the tool especially convenient for engineers carrying out installations, repairs and maintenance.

Simple to Use

Preparing a coaxial cable takes just a few straightforward steps:

1. Cut the coaxial cable cleanly and squarely.
2. Press the release button on the Cabelcon stripping tool.
3. Insert the cable fully into the stripping aperture.
4. Release the button to engage the cutting mechanism.
5. Rotate the tool around the cable approximately 5–10 times.
6. Remove the cable and the cut insulation sections.
7. Check the prepared cable before fitting the appropriate F-type connector.

The cable is now ready for installation of a compatible connector.

Suitable for CT100, WF100 and RG6 Coaxial Cables

The Cabelcon stripping tool is designed for RG6 and RG59 coaxial cables, supporting cable outside diameters of approximately 3–7mm.

It is suitable for preparing many commonly used satellite and television coaxial cables, including:

• CT100-type coaxial cable
• WF100-type coaxial cable
• RG6 coaxial cable
• RG59 coaxial cable
• Similar compatible satellite and television coaxial cables

As cable construction and dimensions can vary between manufacturers, the prepared cable should always be checked against the requirements of the connector being installed.

Ideal for Compression Connector Installations

This tool is particularly useful when installing Cabelcon CX3 and TrueDrop compression connectors.

The stripping tool prepares the coaxial cable to the appropriate dimensions, while a separate compression tool is used to secure the connector permanently onto the cable.

Used together, these tools provide a professional method of producing strong, reliable coaxial terminations.

The integrated 11mm spanner can then be used for tightening the completed F-type connector onto suitable equipment.

Typical Applications

• Satellite dish and LNB installations
• Freesat and Sky satellite systems
• Terrestrial television aerial installations
• Coaxial cable preparation and termination
• Cabelcon compression connector installation
• Multiswitch and communal satellite distribution
• Cable television and broadband systems
• Professional aerial and satellite maintenance
