The reason I like the ABECO Smart Strip is that you can adjust the depth of cut so it goes 80 or 90% of the way through the jacket and will never nick the wires inside or the foil shield. You might need to have a couple of them, one adjusted for UTP, one for STP, another for coax, etc., or you can just adjust as needed.
That said, the techs scoff at this and don’t see why I can’t just use the strippers built into the crimpers, rather than carrying a special tool just for stripping the jacket.

For me they would always cut into the cat5e, that also goes for strippers like them. https://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Tools-15015-Jacket-Stripper/dp/B000FI2RVC On Thu, Jun 4, 2020 at 9:24 AM Matt <matt.mailingli...@gmail.com <mailto:matt.mailingli...@gmail.com> > wrote: We use EZ cat5 connectors and switched from single jacketed outdoor shielded cat5 too double jacketed.
