Abstract
Stripping of the outer jacket of miniaturized coaxial cable is achieved through the use of stripping blades which have surfaces dulled to preclude cutting the cable core or ground conductor and yet sever the cable and metalized film from the cable core. The stripping blades have an offset to eliminate the need to orient the cable relative to the ground wire with the dull surfaces having a radius to substantially deform the cable with the cable then being pulled to effect removal of the outer jacket and metallized film. The length of stripping accommodates axial elongation of the core with excess core subsequently being trimmed, thereby resulting in a desired stripped length.
