Precision insulation stripper with shaped blades for PV cable 1.5 to 6 mm², AWG 16 to 10, 195 mm - Knipex 12 12 11

Solar cables carry multi-layer insulation that tends to tear or take pressure marks during stripping. The 12 12 11 precision insulation stripper is designed exactly for this and works with form-fitting blades for 1.5 / 2.5 / 4 / 6 mm², matching AWG 16 to 10.

Benefits

• Two high-quality pairs of blades cut the insulation evenly around the entire circumference, which gives a clean and uniform stripping result.
• The cable insulation stays free of pressure marks, so the function of the cable is retained.
• Replaceable shaped blades matched exactly to the respective conductor cross-section.
• Repeatable stripping lengths thanks to a length stop adjustable between 5 and 20 mm, made of glass fibre reinforced plastic and screw-fastened for a reliable and precise fit on the bolt.
• For PV cable of 1.5 / 2.5 / 4 / 6 mm², specifically designed for multi-layer insulation.
• The range of cross-sections corresponds to AWG 16 / 14 / 12 / 10, so cables in American sizing can be matched as well.
• Black oxide finished pliers with multi-component grips, 449 g at 195 mm length.

Areas of use

Assembly of photovoltaic systems, preparation of solar cables and fitting of connectors on roof and open field sites. For the larger cross-sections 4 / 6 / 10 mm² the 12 12 12 version is intended.
