DX Engineering Coax Cable Stripping Tools
DX Engineering Coax Cable Stripping Tools provide an easy way to prepare your 50 ohm coax cable for the installation of solder-type PL-259 (UHF-male) and 2-piece solder-type "N" connectors. These handy coax cable strippers work on foam or solid dielectric cables with a precision, 2-step operation. DX Engineering strippers are made with premium, long-lasting, tool-steel cutter blades for clean coaxial cable preparation. These cable stripping tools are intended to be used ONLY on PVC and PE jacketed coaxial cables, not ultra-flex soft rubber-like Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) jacket. Use our red DXE-UT-8213 Coax Cable Stripper for 0.405 in. OD cables. The following cables have been successfully stripped using the superior tool steel cutting blades of our DXE-UT-8213: * DXE-213U * DXE-8U * DXE-11U * Belden 8213 RG11/U * Belden 8214 RG-8 foam * Belden RG-213/U * Belden 8237 RG-8/U * Belden 8267** **Belden 8267 and Belden 9913F7: Some cable labeled as Belden 9913F7 (and also Belden 8267) which has a very "squirmy" jacket and is easy to bend into all shapes without rebounding has proven very challenging to strip easily. The jacket material seems different than the Belden (9913F7 and 8267) samples we had on hand from earlier lots that were used to test the DXE-UT-8213. Belden was contacted concerning this and a sample of the suspect 9913F7 was sent for testing. Belden informed us this was their cable (not a suspected counterfeit) and this is a known tolerance in their manufacturing process of this type coaxial cable jacket. Therefore, the DXE-UT-8213 may or may not work properly with some Belden 9913F7 or Belden 8267. Times Microwave LMR-400UF Ultra-Flex has a similar rubbery, thermoplastic jacket that which CANNOT be stripped by this type of cutter. The new purple UT-8213LR Coax Cable Stripping Tools have been designed to properly prepare RG-213 and 8U sized, 0.405 in. coaxial cables for silver-plated solder-type PL-259 connectors (like DXE-PL259-6). These preparation tools will allow you to strip the coaxial cable with special dimensions to facilitate a unique method of soldering the shield to the back of the connector, proven at the K3LR world-wide contest station. DXE-UT-8213 cutter blades are designed to cut through the more rigid materials encountered with high quality coaxial cables with an OD of 0.405 in with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PE (polyethylene) jackets. Our green DXE-UT-808X prepares smaller coaxial cables such as DXE-8X and Mini 8. They have been designed and manufactured to properly prepare coaxial cable for use with DXE-PL259, PL-259 Silver Plated, PTFE Insulation PL-259 connectors and associated reducers, or the DXE-N1001-S Type-N Male Silver Plated, PTFE Insulation two-piece Type-N connector (requires a slight additional trimming of the cable center conductor length) and reducers. DXE-UT-808X has been tested with: * DXE-8X * Belden 9258 RG-8/X These cable strippers are NOT intended for use with look-alike RG-8X cables with soft, rubbery, 'squirmy' outer jackets. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. The best way to install solder connectors on your coaxial cables is to prep them the easy way: with DX Engineering Coax Cable Stripping Tools!

DX Engineering DXE-8U-PREP-P Coax Cable Prep Tool Combos
DX Engineering DXE-8U-PREP-P Coax Cable Prep Tool Combos pair two of our most popular prep tools in one convenient package! Together for your convenience, here are the DXE-UT-8213 and the DXE-CGH-8U. DX Engineering UT-8213 cable strippers are the preferred method for preparing only single shield*, 0.405 in. size coaxial cables, including RG-8U, RG-213 and RG-11U, for standard PL-259 connectors with soldered center and shield. These strippers easily remove the outer jacket, shield and dielectric to prepare for soldered PL-259 coaxial cable connectors, including DXE-PL259-6 and AML-83-1SP-6. Included with the DXE-UT-8213 in this Prep Tool Combo is our DXE-CGH-8U hinged cable gripper; it is the perfect companion tool! These grippers allow you to have a much larger surface to hold onto while the gripper itself securely holds your cable for easy trimming. Please check the "Kit/Combo Contents" tab for more detailed individual-item information. *IMPORTANT: The UT-8213 Prep Tool is NOT intended for use on dual shield coaxial cables including DXE-400MAX and LMR-400 series. Those cables require crimped shield connectors with different stripping dimension. For dual shield cables use the DXE-UT-405C-P1 Cable Prep Tool for DXE-PL259CS8U-6 Next Generation PL-259, or the DXE-UT-405C-N1 Cable Prep Tool for Type N connector model 172102H243. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. Make coax cable preparation for soldered PL-259s so much easier with the DXE-UT-8213 and the DXE-CGH-8U. Order them together in the DX Engineering DXE-8U-PREP-P Coax Cable Prep Tool Combo and get a better grip on coax preparation!
