Platinum Tools 15015C Cat5 Cat6 Cable Jacket Striper

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 15015C is a cable jacket striper designed for preparing Cat5 and Cat6 cable ends before termination. It scores and removes the outer jacket cleanly without nicking the twisted pairs inside, reducing the risk of signal degradation caused by insulation damage. Electricians and low-voltage technicians rely on this tool during structured cabling installations to speed up prep work and improve termination consistency. Sold as a single unit, it fits into standard field kits for residential and commercial data cabling work.

The 15015C is suited for wire termination tasks on Cat5 and Cat6 horizontal runs, patch cable fabrication, and structured wiring rough-in and trim-out work. It is a practical hand tool for low-voltage installers, IT cabling technicians, and electricians performing network infrastructure installations in both new construction and retrofit environments.

Key Features

• Strips Cat5 and Cat6 cable jacket without damaging internal twisted pairs
• Reduces insulation nicks that can cause crosstalk or signal loss
• Compact hand tool suited for field use in structured cabling installations
• Single-unit packaging for individual technician kits

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Cat5 and Cat6 twisted-pair cable in typical structured wiring and network cabling applications.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and electricians performing data cabling work typically use this tool during cable prep before punch-down or connector termination. Ensure cable runs are de-energized and isolated from active network equipment before stripping. Follow applicable low-voltage wiring guidelines and local codes when performing structured cabling installations.
