Using the FastConnect Stripping Tool for Preparing FC Cables The steps required to strip a cable are illustrated using the using the FastConnect bus connector with a 90° cable outlet 6ES7972-0BB50-0XA0. They apply analogously to the FastConnect bus connector with a 180° cable outlet 6GK1500-0FC00.

1. How to hold the stripping tool in the right hand

2. Measure the length to be stripped by holding the cable against the template. Mark the position using the index finger of your left hand.

3. Insert the measured end of the cable into the tool as far as allowed by the index finger of the left hand.

4. Clamp the end of the cable in the stripping tool.

5. Turn the tool four times in the direction of the arrow for PVC insulation (eight times for PUR or PE insulation).

6. Keeping the tool closed, remove it from the end of the cable. If the cut is poor, change the blade cassette.

7. Remnants remain in the tool. After opening the tool, the remnants of the cable can be removed.

8. Remove the protective layer from the cores.

9. Fit the FastConnect cable into the connector.
