Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document addresses the challenges and solutions related to stripping high-speed data cables, which often utilize shielded twisted conductors. Traditional methods, such as using a razor blade, are imprecise and hazardous, leading to poor quality and potential injuries.

Problems with Conventional Methods
  • Imprecise Methods: Manual stripping with a razor blade lacks depth control, risking cable damage.
  • Risk of Injury: Razor blades increase the likelihood of operator injury and fatigue.
  • Time Consuming: The "ring and slit" method is slow and requires skilled operators.

The Solution: DMC Twist-Strip™
The Twist-Strip™ product line provides a portable, ergonomic, and efficient solution for cable preparation. Key features include adjustable blades for varying cable specifications, precise cable track for controlled die/blade rotation, and consistent, repeatable performance that reduces operator error.

Product Features
  • Adjustable: TSK8000 and TSK8500 models have adjustable blades for different cable thicknesses.
  • Precise: Machined cable tracks ensure controlled die rotation.
  • Consistent: The tool is faster and reduces errors compared to traditional methods.

Die Set Part Numbering System
The document provides detailed part numbering systems for TSK8000 and TSK8500 die sets, categorized by the number of inner conductors and cable outer diameter (OD) range.

Tool Specifications
  • TSK8000: Suitable for cables with diameters from 0.061” to 0.180”.
  • TSK8500: Suitable for cables with diameters from 0.181” to 0.310”.
Both tools feature interchangeable dies, adjustable blade depth, and ergonomic design.

Important Notes
  • Proper die set selection is crucial for optimal performance.
  • Adjust blade depth incrementally to avoid cable damage.
  • Some applications may require custom die sets.

TSK8000-TSK8500 Twist Strip-2

Safe, Accurate, and Repeatable The Problem It is common for high-speed data cable to utilize two or more shielded twisted conductors. This type of cable is common in all digital electronic networks, and it requires new tooling disciplines. The challenge in designing a wire prep system of this type is the non-circular configuration of the cable, and the many types, variations, and stripping nuances of shielded, twisted, multi-wire cable. Imprecise Methods Stripping multi-conductor wire cable is often done by hand with a razor blade. This is a dangerous and difficult way to remove the jacket from...

Notes and Specifications IMPORTANT NOTES • The “starting depth” for blade adjustment produces a very light score on cable jacket. Operator should adjust cutting depth to preferred depth setting. • 3 conductor die sets have a non-concentric shape. Therefore, 3 conductor die sets come with only 1 blade. The blade is in the “B” side die. This will produce a single cut longitudinally on the cable. • Tool allows for .001” incremental adjustments to blade cutting depth. • Cutting blade depth adjustments are critical for correct performance. Cutting too deep into the cable will damage it beyond repair....
