Patent ID: 7694420

Claim:
A coaxial cable preparation tool comprising: a body, having a first end and a second end, the first end including a first cavity configured to accommodate insertion of a coaxial cable therein; an outer conductor blade, pivotally mounted near the first end of the body and movably operable with the body to cut an outer jacket, an outer conductor, and an inner dielectric of the cable when the cable is inserted into the first cavity, defining a first cut portion with the outer jacket, outer conductor and inner dielectric removed from the cable; a center conductor chamfering member, positioned at the back of a second cavity, the second cavity extending from the second end of the body; a dielectric coring blade, positioned within the second cavity; and a jacket stripping blade, positioned at least partially within the second cavity, wherein upon insertion of the first cut portion into the second cavity and rotating the body with respect to the cable, a chamfer is defined on an end of the center conductor substantially simultaneously with the removal of a portion of the inner dielectric and a portion of the outer jacket.
