Ripley US15 PRO

CABLE SHEATH JACKET STRIPPING TOOL | up to 60mm Diameter

Ripley US15-7010 | PRO Large Format Cable Slitter for Sheath & Jacket Stripping

Professional, Safe & Consistent Stripping of Cable Sheath Jackets from LV MV HV Cables | No Open Blades

US15 PRO Cable Sheath Jacket Stripping Tool manufactured by Ripley Tools is capable of performing slit, ring, and spiral cuts on cable diameters from 10mm to 60mm. Equipped with a high-grade steel blade, the versatile tool provides fast, safe, and precise jacket removal from both hard and soft insulated cables without damaging the underlying layers on LV MV HV (Low | Medium | High Voltage Cables).

The Ripley US15 PRO tool is a heavier duty slitting tool primarily used to assist in the removal of outer sheathing and primary insulation on low and medium voltage power cables. The tool will cut through many forms of insulated material such as PE, XLPE, PVC, EPR, silicon rubber, EPDM, and TGGT. The tool is particularly useful on flexible conductor cables up to 5kV.

The US15 PRO has a micro adjustable blade depth to avoid underlying cable damage. Ring, spiral, and longitudinal cuts can be accurately made by indexing the blade position. The high grade tool steel blade is also capable of slitting lead, Sealpic®, and other thin metallic sheathing.

US15-7000 v US15-PRO

The US15 and US15 PRO Tools manufactured by Ripley are identical both in usage and practical application – the US15 has a moulded plastic v-jaw and is quick release. The US15 PRO is a machined aluminium v jaw and does not feature quick release as this improves rigidity and stability when stripping the cable jacket or sheath from LVMV HV cables.

Cable Tooling Benefits

US15 Tool design from Ripley provides a controlled depth, sheath stripping of cable up to 60mm with a single-bladed (Ring & Spiral Cut). The compact design is advantageous to the Jointer for working in compact switchgear compartments and confined space cable preparation applications. No pulling under force for stripping cable sheaths – the US15 Tool provides a more natural and free-flowing turn of cable preparation tool rather than forced exertion by the Jointer improving, safety, ergonomics and finish when preparing MV HV cables prior to Jointing & Termination.

The Ripley range of Cable Jointing Tools improve cable safety and reduce cable damage.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Set the blade depth Set an appropriate blade depth to score the jacket or insulation. For jackets with consistent thickness, set the blade depth 75-90% of the thickness. For irregular shape jackets, set the blade depth shy of the thinnest section to avoid cable damage.	2. Ring cut the cable Index the blade carriage to the ring cut position. The positioning knob faces forward. Snug the tool up with the tightening knob. Do not over tighten the tool on the cable. Rock the tool to feel the tension on the cable. Rotate counter clockwise to make a full ring cut.	3. Spiral and Longitudinal Cut Index the tool to one of the spiral or the longitudinal position, as desired. Rotate or pull the tool down the cable to score it.	4. Remove the jacketing	5. Follow the same procedure with the US15 PRO to remove the insulation from the conductor
