The Ripley Tools US15-7001 Large Format Cable Slitter is a versatile, professional-grade tool capable of performing slit, ring, and spiral cuts on cable diameters from 0.39in to 2.36in (10-60mm), equipped with a hardened steel blade that delivers fast, safe, and precise jacket removal from both hard and soft insulated cables without damaging underlying layers.

This inch-scale model is engineered for large telecom cables, large fiber optic ducts, and other large-diameter power cables. It quickly adjusts to suit cable ends from 0.39in to 2.36in (10-60mm) and cable mid-spans from 0.39in to 1.96in (10-50mm), giving crews the flexibility to handle both end-prep and mid-span access work with a single tool.

Precision matters on large-format cable work, which is why the US15-7001 features a blade depth knob that adjusts up to 0.177in (4.5mm) in fine 0.002in (0.05mm) increments, plus a dual inch/metric scale for guaranteed accuracy. A reinforced diameter adjustment jaw travels on a threaded rod for stable, consistent blade-to-jacket positioning, while the recessed blade design helps protect both the operator and the blade edge during use. It's a go-to tool for utility linemen, cable splicers, and telecom installation technicians, and is also featured in Ripley's MV Underground tool kits.
