The Data T®-Cutter tool is a small and compact yet efficient hand actuated cable cutter with dual curved blades and a shearing cutting action which are recommended for cutting coax and other copper based low voltage cables. The curved blades minimize cable deformation, which helps keep the cable impedance (Ω) consistent during connector to cable termination, and allows cable stripping tools to work more efficiently and accurately.

The jaw tip of the Data T® has a flat cutting area which aides in cutting used cable ties and other related items in hard to access locations.

Jaw opening is large enough to cut many multi-cable structured cables.

The Data T® is also available in several kits.

  • Compact, 5 ½” overall length, lightweight, with a large jaw opening to easily cut ½” diameter cables

  • Stamped steel construction with form ground cutting edges
  • Curved handles allow for more cutting leverage and user comfort compared to straight handles

  • Spring loaded handles require less effort for repeated cutting
