RIBBON CABLE SLITTER AND METHOD OF STRIPPING CABLE

摘要

A cable is stripped, according to this disclosure, by slitting the insulation along the length of a portion of the cable between the edge portions and the bounds of the conductors from the side closest the conductors to a depth at least as great as the ground plane; simultaneously slitting through the cable across the edge portions; and simultaneously slitting the insulation and plane between the edge portions from the side closest the ground plane. One of the tabs formed as a result of the aforementioned slittings is then pulled to peel away insulation and ground plane. Apparatus is employed to simultaneously accomplish the slittings.
