Coaxial Cable Stripping Tool
DXE-UT-808X
For RG-8/X coaxial cable
DXE-UT-808X-INS Rev 1e
Patent Pending
The DXE-UT-808X has been designed to properly prepare DXE-8X, RG-8/X coax cable (.242" OD)
for use with DXE-PL259 PL-259 Connectors and DXE-UG176S Reducers.
Properly cut the end of the coaxial cable with the DXE-CNL-911 Coax Cable Cutter to get a good flush cut. You want the coax to be round and not oval
when viewed from the end. If the cable is slightly oval, gently use pliers to round out the end of the coaxial cable. Place the prepared coaxial cable end
into the body of the UT-808X labeled "1st CUT". Firmly grip the coaxial cable and the UT-808X, turn the UT-808X in a clock wise direction while
applying steady and slightly firm pressure. The UT-808X will begin cutting. Keep turning the tool until it will not cut anymore, it will stop cutting at the
proper length. Remove the coaxial cable. Place the PL-259 shell and the DXE-UG176S RG-8/X Reducer on the cable, fold the braided shield back over
the reducer exposing the center conductor's insulation. Turn the UT-808X around for the second cut. Insert the coaxial cable into the tool and again, turn
the tool in a clock wise direction until the cutting is complete. Remove the coaxial cable. Clean any excess cable cuttings from the tool. You may want to
trim some of the braid on the coaxial cable slightly using the DXE-170M precision shear side cutters prior to installing in a DXE-PL259 connector. This
combination of DXE tools allows perfect and easy connector installation every time! The premium cutting blades supplied with the UT-808X will last a
long time. If replacements blades are needed, order DXE-UT-RB-HD (customer supplied 7/64" Allen Wrench required).
