Cable Conductor Cleaner
DESCRIPTION
An essential cable preparation tool for preparing hardline cables after coring, the Gator tool bevels the center conductor to prevent the connector’s seizing mechanism from being damaged and scrapes away bonded dielectric to fully clean the center conductor. The Gator is used on any hardline cable after it has been stripped and cored to bevel and fully clean the center conductor.
FEATURES
An Integrated Beveller:
Burrs at the end of a center conductor can damage the seizing mechanism of a connector, resulting in signal loss. Using the Gator beveller to remove the burrs is far better than making pyramid cuts. Made of carbide and located on the side of the Gator body, the beveller is always sharp and convenient. Beveling prior to scraping also prolongs the life of the Gator teeth.
Long-lasting Reversible Teeth:
The Gator teeth remove all traces of the bonded dielectric without scoring the center conductor. Reversing the teeth exposes a second set of cleaning edges, which doubles the life of the scrapers. When both sides are worn, the teeth can be easily replaced.
An Ergonomic Body:
Made of durable plastic, the Gator body fits comfortably in either hand. The tool is easy to use and offers exceptional performance over a long life
Common Questions About the Gator Cable Conductor Cleaner
What is the Gator cable conductor cleaner used for
The Gator cable conductor cleaner is used to bevel and fully clean the center conductor on hardline cable after stripping and coring, helping ensure proper connector installation.
Why is beveling the center conductor important
Beveling removes burrs that can damage a connector’s seizing mechanism, helping prevent signal loss and improving long term connection reliability.
How does the Gator clean bonded dielectric
The Gator uses long lasting scraper teeth to remove bonded dielectric from the center conductor without scoring or damaging the conductor itself.
How the Gator Supports Proper Hardline Cable Preparation
The Gator cable conductor cleaner is designed to deliver clean, damage free center conductors before connector installation. Its integrated beveller, reversible teeth, and ergonomic design help technicians achieve consistent results while extending tool life and protecting connectors.
