Product Description
Milwaukee Universal Twisted Pair Stripper
Model Number: 48-22-3065
The Milwaukee 48-22-3065 is a Universal Twisted Pair (UTP) Stripper — a specialty hand tool for stripping the outer jacket from Cat5e, Cat6, and other twisted pair Ethernet and telecommunications cable for structured cabling installation and termination in commercial and residential data network work. The UTP stripper is specifically designed for the delicate balance required when stripping twisted pair cable jacket — the stripper must cut through the outer jacket cleanly without nicking or scoring the individual twisted pair conductors inside, which are positioned close to the jacket's inner surface. Nicked conductors in data cable fail cable certification testing and require the complete termination to be redone from a fresh cable end, making nick-free stripping a critical quality factor for structured cabling installers who guarantee test pass rates on commercial network installations.
Milwaukee designs the UTP stripper with a blade depth-limiting mechanism that controls the cutting depth to just through the jacket thickness for the range of twisted pair cable outer diameters it is designed to accommodate — preventing the blade from penetrating far enough to contact the conductor pairs inside the jacket during the stripping rotation. The universal specification covers the standard Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and common telephone cable outer diameter range without requiring blade depth adjustment between standard cable types, providing fast, consistent stripping across the mixed cable types encountered in commercial structured cabling installations. The ergonomic handle provides comfortable grip and controlled rotation for the single-stroke jacket stripping that produces professional-quality stripped cable ends throughout a full day of termination work.
