IDEAL® Data T®-Cutter Fiber Optic Cable Cutter

The IDEAL^® Data T^®-Cutter is a compact, hand-actuated cable cutter designed for precision and efficiency. Its dual curved blades use a shearing action ideal for cutting coaxial cable, twisted pair, and other copper-based low-voltage cables. The curved blade design helps minimize cable deformation, maintaining consistent impedance (Ω) and improving the accuracy of subsequent stripping and termination.

A flat cutting area at the jaw tip allows for easy trimming of cable ties and other materials in tight spaces. Despite its small 5.5” size, the cutter has a wide jaw opening that accommodates many multi-cable structured cables.

Features:

• Compact design with 5.5" (139.7mm) length and lightweight for easy handling
• Large jaw opening cuts cables up to 0.5" (12.7 mm) diameter
• Flat jaw tip is ideal for cutting used cable ties and braid in tight spaces
• Cuts coax copper-clad steel (CCS) center conductors cleanly
• Ideal for twisted pair and structured cable bundles
• Versatile cutting with coax (up to RG11), twisted pair, and other copper-based cables
• Stamped steel construction with form-ground cutting edges for durability
• Curved handles enhance cutting leverage and user comfort
• Spring-loaded handles speed up cutting and reduce hand fatigue
• Locking pawl secures blades when not in use
• Made in the USA

Note: Not recommended for cutting hard steel. Can cut CCS coax up to 18 AWG solid with minimal blade deformation.
