The Jonard RCS-50 Ratcheting Cable Slitter is designed for safe, precise longitudinal slitting of thick cable jackets without damaging internal conductors or fibre. Ideal for telecoms, power, data and fibre optic cable preparation, the RCS-50 combines a hardened steel blade with a ratcheting handle for controlled, low-effort operation.
The tool’s rugged construction ensures reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments, including central offices, data centres, utility installations and outside plant (OSP) work.
Jonard RCS-50 Overview
The Jonard RCS-50 ratcheting cable slitter is engineered to safely open heavy-duty cable jackets up to 50 mm in diameter. Its ratcheting mechanism significantly reduces hand fatigue while maintaining consistent cutting depth for repeatable, professional results.
The adjustable blade depth ensures protection of inner conductors, fibres and shielding layers, making the tool ideal for copper, aluminium, fibre optic and power cables used in telecoms and industrial installations.
Featuring a robust ratcheting mechanism and an adjustable cutting blade, the tool delivers consistent cutting depth with minimal hand fatigue, even when working with large-diameter or rigid cable jackets in demanding site conditions.
The adjustable blade depth allows the user to set a precise cutting depth, ensuring safe removal of the outer jacket while protecting sensitive internal components such as fibre tubes, copper conductors and insulation layers. This makes the RCS-50 ideal for fibre optic trunk cables, power distribution cables and multi-core telecoms cables.
