Hi, I’m Todd with Platinum Tools. Today I’m going to show you the All-in-One
multipurpose cable tool. It is a multifunction device that will strip coax and twisted pair.
Let me demonstrate. Right here we have the adapter that will do 59 RG6 and if you reverse
the cartridge over it will do RG7 and RG11. It is a very simple device to set up.
The other great function that it has is there are no adjustments at all. What you do is
insert the cable into the device. Then turn it three times; one, two, and three. Pull
it off and you have a perfectly stripped cable every time.
On the bottom of the device we have a cable brush. The cable brush is designed to help
you prepare the cable for a connector termination. So what we’re doing here is we are actually
pulling the braid back. The main purpose of this is that the strands
on the cable are microscopic. What you want to do is make sure you have prepped the cable
properly and make sure that none of them are left behind so that when you insert the connector
you don’t short out the cable. It’s a very good tool and it’s free on this device.
The next function we have on this is when you go on to twisted pair you want to remove
the jacket without nicking any of the wires underneath. We have, built into here, a cable
stripping device for the PVC jacket of Cat5 and Cat6.
There’s an adjustable blade so you can move it and set it up for the diameter of the cable.
What you would do is insert it in here, make sure the blade is resting on the cable, and
turn it one time. You’re scoring the jacket and what you want to do is finish it off by
popping it here. Now it’s ready for you to prep the twists for cable termination.
Another great feature this has is cable cutter. You insert your cable, cut it, and you have
cleanly cut your cable. For a great tool that does it all this is
a great part. Part# 15018C and it’s by Platinum Tools.
