| There is FINALLY a tool to quickly strip the shielded twisted pair wires in your avionics installations! | ||
STP Wire Stripping Problem Background: From the beginning, Mil-Spec Tefzel Shielded Twisted Pair wire has defied every wire stripper available to installers, leaving a razor blade or knife as the best option for removing the outer jacket. This time consuming method is imprecise, and it can easily lead to internal shorts between the center conductors and the shield, especially when solder sleeves are used for shield termination. With the increased use of RS-232, ARINC 429, and other types of data busses in todays aircraft electronics, this type of wire is now a major component of many avionics installations..........................................................................NEXT>>> |

This time consuming and innacurate process has obvious disadvantages when compared to the TS-7000: - Loss of blood (Ever had the experience?) |

Even though this wire appears to be properly stripped, there are problems that result from hand use of a razor: |
|
A closer look a the base reveals an area where shield and inner conductor damage occurred from slightly too much pressure while ringing the wire. This is one of the most common types of damage caused by hand stripping twisted pair wire. When terminating the shield with a solder sleeve, the heat from the installation process will expand any nicks in the inner wire jacket and can result in a shield-to-conductor short that is visibly hidden by the solder sleeve. FACT: ..The Mil-Spec tin coated copper wire used to construct the braided shield for twisted pair wire is only |
