Frequently Asked Questions - CTU 100 Extron
How do I adjust the stripping length on the CTU 100?
Use the adjustable stop located on the side of the tool. Loosen the thumb screw, slide the stop to the desired strip length, then tighten the screw. This ensures consistent stripping lengths for repeated work.
Can the CTU 100 strip coaxial cables?
Yes, the V-notch blades are designed to score the outer insulation of common coaxial cables. However, for best results, use the appropriate cutting depth to avoid damaging the inner conductor.
How do I replace the blades?
To replace the blades, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws on the blade holder. Slide out the old blade, insert a new one, and re-tighten the screws. Always ensure the blade is firmly seated before use.
Is the CTU 100 suitable for live electrical wires?
No, the CTU 100 is not insulated for live work. Always disconnect power before stripping wires. The handles are ergonomic but not certified for high-voltage protection.
What wire gauges are compatible with the CTU 100?
The CTU 100 supports AWG 10 to 24 (0.2 to 6.0 mm²). This covers most common solid and stranded wires used in electrical and electronics work.
What maintenance does the CTU 100 require?
Regular maintenance includes wiping the tool with a dry, lint-free cloth and occasionally applying a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point to keep the action smooth. Check blade sharpness periodically.
Can I cut wires with the CTU 100?
Yes, it features an integrated wire cutter near the base of the jaws. It can cut copper and aluminum wires up to AWG 10, making it a versatile tool.
How do I set the correct blade depth for stripping?
The CTU 100 has a depth adjustment dial on the side. Turn it to match the insulation thickness of your wire. Start with a shallow setting and increase until the insulation is cleanly cut without nicking the conductors.
Are spare parts available for the CTU 100?
Yes, replacement blades and adjustment knobs are available through Extron authorized dealers. The tool is designed to be repairable, reducing waste and extending its lifespan.
Is the CTU 100 suitable for fiber optic cable?
No, the CTU 100 is designed for copper conductors and may damage fiber optic cables. Use a specialized fiber stripper that provides the precise pressure control needed for fragile fibers.
