This tool* prepares RG-8, RG-213, 9913F7, LMR-400 (not LMR-400UF) and other similar size PVC or PE jacketed coax cable for installation of a PL-259 connector - or DXE-N1001S two-piece Type N connector (requires a slight additional trimming of the cable center conductor length).  See "Tech Info" above for a list of cables tested.

The large diameter knurled handle provides a good grip for easy stripping - you'll really appreciate that after stripping several ends!  New, premium quality cutting blades assure clean cuts and long life.

The best operation occurs with cable that is cleanly cut and round - not oval, as occurs when diagonal side-cutters crush the cable while cutting.  Order the DXE-CNL-911 cable cutting tool for best results.

For replacement blades, also order DXE-UT-RB-HD.

• For foam or solid dielectric cable preparation
• Precision, two-step operation
• No nicks or scratches to conductor
• Premium, long lasting cutter blades

*Patent Pending

The following cables have been successfully stripped using the DXE-UT-8213 with our DXE Cutting Blades:

• Belden 8213 RG11/U
• Belden 8214 RG-8 foam
• Belden 8237 RG-8/U
• Belden 8267 RG-213/U
• Belden 9913 low-loss RG8 type(spiral dielectric material)
• Belden 9913F7 low-loss RG8 type, high-flex
• Davis RF "Bury Flex"
• LMR 400 Times Microwave

As we test other cable types, we will add them to the list.

There are several cable types on the market which use a jacket material which is soft and spongy.  The DXE-UT-8213 cutter blades are designed to cut through the more rigid materials encountered with quality RG-213/U, LMR-400 and similar PVC and PE jacketed cables.

These soft jacket materials are sometimes described as "thermoplastic elastomer" (found in LMR-400UF Ultraflex) and are characterized by their ability to be stretched and twisted free from the shield braid.

As a result, the cutter blade will twist the jacket and cutting action will stop - jamming the tool.  These unusually soft-jacket cables demand to be stripped the old fashioned way.
