Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CABLE PREP from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the CABLE PREP CPT-6590-1S and the RBC-6590?
The CPT-6590-1S is a complete coaxial cable stripper for RG-59 and RG-6 cables, with a 4-1/2 inch overall length and 1/4 inch stripping capacity. The RBC-6590 is a replacement blade designed for that stripper and other compatible CABLE PREP tools. The blade restores cutting performance when the original edge dulls. Both are available from 3G Electric.
What torque values are available for CABLE PREP preset torque wrenches?
CABLE PREP preset torque wrenches are available in 20, 25, 30, and 40 inch-pound settings. All have a 7/16 inch drive size and 6-1/2 inch overall length. The wrenches are factory-set to the specified torque and are not adjustable. They are used for tightening electrical connectors to consistent values.
Can CABLE PREP coaxial strippers be used on cables other than RG-59 and RG-6?
The CPT-6590-1S is specifically designed for RG-59 and RG-6 coaxial cables. Using it on other cable types may not produce correct strip dimensions. For other cable types, consult the manufacturer's specifications or contact 3G Electric for assistance in selecting a suitable tool.
What is the purpose of a preset torque wrench for electrical connectors?
Preset torque wrenches apply a specific, repeatable torque to connectors, preventing over-tightening that can damage threads or under-tightening that can cause loose connections. CABLE PREP models are set to values like 20, 25, 30, or 40 inch-pounds, common for many RF and electrical connectors. They are used in installation, maintenance, and repair work.
