{"title":"Cable Preparation Tools","description":"\u003cp\u003eCable preparation tools remove the layers of a shielded medium-voltage cable in the right order and to the right depth, which is the part of a termination or splice where the work is either right or the joint fails in service. A shielded cable is built in layers — jacket, metallic shield, semi conducting screen, insulation, conductor — and each has to come off cleanly without cutting into the one beneath. Semi-con scorers cut the semi-conducting layer to a controlled depth and no further, so it can be peeled away without scoring the insulation underneath; a nick in the insulation at that point becomes a stress concentration and eventually a fault. Prep kits gather the scorers, blades, dies and gauges for a given cable range into one case, so a crew arrives with the whole set rather than improvising with a knife, which is how insulation gets damaged. Adjustable depth settings let one tool cover a range of cable constructions. This is work where the right tool is not a convenience: the quality of the preparation is what the joint's life depends on. Match the kit to the cable range and construction being worked.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"speed-systems-cable-prep-kit-cpk-8","title":"Speed Systems Cable Prep Kit (CPK-8)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed Systems CPK-8 cable prep kit, a four tool set for preparing high voltage cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1542-2CL cable stripper supplied with the 1646X scale gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1700SS semi-con scorer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLPW1525\/TK120X-N combination probe tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCPK-14 canvas bag for carrying and storing the set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne kit covers stripping, semi-con scoring and probe work, so a splicer is not sourcing tools from three vendors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairing the stripper with a scale gauge sets the cut to a measured reference rather than by eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe canvas bag keeps the four tools together and accounted for between jobs and trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery piece carries its own part number, so a lost or worn tool is replaced individually instead of rebuying the kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually Ships in Business 2-3 Days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speed Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55016289010030,"sku":"USMCPK-8","price":774.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/1533\/4810\/files\/cpk8.png?v=1789414871"},{"product_id":"speed-systems-semi-con-scorer-1700ss","title":"Speed Systems Semi-Con Scorer (1700SS)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed Systems 1700SS semi-con scorer for high-voltage cable prep, sized for cable from 1\/2\" to 2\" outside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable blade depth from .001\" to .100\", held by a locking set screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScores (scribes) the semi-conductive layer without cutting into the insulation underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles both square and spiral cut patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoil springs hold constant blade pressure through the cut;
