Ideal Industries Data-T Flush Cable Cutter, Steel Jaw, Rubber Grip, Plastic Handle, 139.7mm Length, Maximum Cutting 285-9179

Ideal Industries 285-9179 Data-T Flush Cable Cutter is a precision hand tool engineered for cutting copper-based low-voltage cables such as coaxial and twisted pair cable types commonly used in electronic and electrical industries.

Its dual curved steel blades employ a shearing action that minimizes cable deformation, preserving the cable's impedance characteristics essential for reliable connector terminations and efficient cable stripping operations.

The compact design with an overall length of 139.7mm allows for easy handling and access in confined spaces while providing a large jaw opening capable of cutting cables up to 13mm in diameter.

The flat cutting tip is specifically designed to trim cable braids and cut used cable ties, which improves its versatility in cable management tasks. Ergonomics are enhanced by curved handles with rubber grips and plastic handles that provide excellent comfort and increased leverage compared to straight handles.

The shearing blades are formed from stamped steel with precision-ground cutting edges for durability and clean cuts. A spring-loaded handle mechanism speeds up cutting cycles, making operations more efficient. A locking pawl holds the blades closed when the tool is not in use to protect both the operator and the blades.

The cutter is not designed for cutting hard steel but can handle copper-clad steel coax up to 18 AWG with minimal blade deformation.

This tool is ideal for applications in electronics, electrical installation, telecommunications, and cable assembly sectors where precise and damage-free cable cutting is essential.

Manufactured in the United States, the Data-T Flush Cable Cutter combines durability, performance, and ergonomic features suited for industrial and commercial cable cutting tasks. Explore more cable cutting tools and accessories in the Industrial Tools & Equipment category at EnvMart.
