Product Description

Features of the half-inch coax cable auto trimming tool

Automated trimming tool for half-inch coax cable, made by RFS Technologies. It works on both half-inch polyethylene foam cable (CELLFLEX®) and half-inch plenum air cable.
Chucks into a battery drill and trims the cable end under power. On a job with a dozen terminations, that is the difference between a few hours and all day.
Trims the dimensions used by the OMNI FIT™ and RAPID FIT™ connector families, including the Top Signal N-male connector for half-inch coax (TS452052).
Delivers exact, repeatable dimensions on every cable end, which is what a clean termination and low passive intermodulation depend on.
Long-lasting cutting blades that need little maintenance.
Aluminum body, 1.6 inches (40.8 mm) in diameter; the tool weighs 0.49 lbs (0.22 kg).

CELLFLEX® and OMNI FIT™ are trademarks of RFS Technologies.

Who is the half-inch coax cable auto trimming tool for?

Professional installers terminating bulk half-inch CELLFLEX® coax (TS360500) or bulk half-inch plenum air coax (TS350500) in the field.
Commercial installations where long cable runs make the lower loss of half-inch coax worth the extra labor of terminating it.

We sell preterminated half-inch foam PE and air dielectric coax, but if you need custom-length runs, this tool trims the unterminated coax.

You will also need the half-inch coax cable prep tool (TS421501), along with a power drill, a box cutter, wire cutters, and two adjustable wrenches.

How the half-inch coax cable auto trimming tool is used

This demonstration from Powerful Signal covers preparing the cable end and attaching a CELLFLEX® connector. It also covers bend radius, which matters here: Half-inch coax is semi-rigid. Its bends must be no smaller than 10 inches, and the outer conductor must not be pinched, kinked, or twisted.
