Coaxial cable skiving tool

摘要

A skiving tool for removing an outer insulation jacket from an end portion of a shielded coaxial cable has a cylindrical body including a coaxial bore sized to receive the end portion of the coaxial cable therein. A tubular mandrel coaxially supported within the bore has a central bore sized to receive the central conductor of the cable. The outside diameter of the mandrel is substantially equal to the inside diameter of the tubular shield on the cable and is received within the end portion of the shield. A cutter mounted on the tool body extends into the main bore for skiving the outer layer of insulation to remove it from the tubular sleeve as the tool is axially rotated relative to the cable.
