CST-400 is a precision cable stripping tool specifically designed by TIMES Microwave Systems for their LMR-400 series of low-loss coaxial cables. Engineered for reliability and ease of use, the CST400 ensures perfect, repeatable strip lengths every time, which is critical for achieving optimal electrical performance and mechanical integrity when installing connectors.
Features
-
Precision Stripping: Factory preset strip dimensions for the LMR-400 cable series, guaranteeing the exact conductor and dielectric lengths required by TIMES’ crimp and solder-on connectors.
-
Optimized for LMR-400: Specifically designed to work flawlessly with the popular LMR-400 cable, minimizing the chance of cable damage or inconsistent connector installation.
-
Durable Construction: Built with rugged materials for long-lasting performance in the field or on the bench.
-
Repeatable Results: Eliminates guesswork and manual measuring, ensuring consistent strip preparation across multiple installations, which is vital for high-volume work.
-
Enhanced Reliability: Proper cable preparation with the CST400 is the first step in achieving reliable, low-PIM (Passive Intermodulation) connector termination.

How to Use the CST-400
-
Step 1 (Cut #1): Insert the cable into Side 1. Rotate the tool while applying thumb pressure until it bottoms out. This exposes the center conductor to the perfect length.
-
Step 2 (Cut #2): Insert the cable into Side 2. Rotate until the jacket chip breaks off, exposing the braid and dielectric.
-
Step 3 (Deburr): Use the integrated deburring bit on the end of the tool to smooth the center conductor tip.
-
Finish: Your LMR-400 cable is now ready for connector termination.
