How does the TS-7000 protect the wire braided shield and center conductors?
A. The blades used in TS-7000 dies are factory set to the proper cutting depth. No in-field adjustment or calibration of the tool is necessary for proper operation (NOTE: New Rev A Die Sets (available 10/2009) are calibrated). Shield and center conductor damage is avoided by precisely controlling the blade’s depth of cut and position on the wire jacket. The TS-7000 dies are designed to slit the outer jacket in the valley between the center conductors using a patented design that eliminates shield conductor damage. When used properly, The TS-7000 gives the installer the ability to quickly, safely, and efficiently strip TSP type wire. Q. How long do Twisted Stripper Wire Dies last? A. Initial testing indicates a die life well over 1000 2.5″ strips (2,500 linear inches of jacket). Further testing will prove the ultimate die life cycle.
