Is the Cable Prep able to strip RG6 Cables?

Yes,I used rg6 quad insulated and it did fine,will last if you use it easy......

This stripper is designed for flat or round TV/UTP cable & not for general purpose wire stripping. I suppose you could use this tool to strip 4 gauge copper wire, but it's not intended for that use.Bobby...

I used it once or twice to strip cable and it worked fine. However, I find it's easier to just score the cable jacket with a utility knife and pull the scored piece off. The crimper works excellent. I've ran Cat5 to multiple rooms and have no issues with the connections.

Yes. You will need a longer piece of cable. RG6 cable is recommended. the R59 cable is to thin.

Any RG 6 coaxial cable will be fine; use quad shield if subject to electrical interferrence. Antenna has built - in matching circuitry so the cable hooks up directly to an F connector on the antenna, no need for a matching transformer.

Yes. I am also wiring for Directv. They require RG6, which this is. Have fun!

RG59 has a little higher loss than does RG6, so since you're not talking about significant lengths, you should have no problem.

Cut which cable shorter? The antenna doesn't come with any connecting cable, at least mine didn't. As for a RG-type cable, yes you can cut it to your needs but you'll need to check the installation with a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) meter when complete. The meters aren't very expensive and can save you from blowing up your finals in the radio. And keep in mind a "perfect" SWR reading of 1:1 is next to impossible to attain so if you end up with a 1.5:1 you will be fine.

I used a really old one at work almost exclusively for Coax (RG59 mainly, but 6 as well). A dedicated coax stripper might be better for you if you just want to do coax, but I use this for various wire types.

They specify RG6 .... Not sure if it's compatible with RG59. RG6 is the most commonly used type of coax for CATV and SAT TV installations.

All cables can be shielded or unshielded, unless the spec specifically requires it. As C. Weaver said, CAT 6 is usually shielded, but not always. Look for the designation "STP" which stands for "Shielded Twisted Pair".

Nope, but you can pick up a 3 pack of great quality 6 foot HDMI cables here on Amazon that will get the job done for about $14.

No wire strippers. if you were good, you could use the wire cutters and strip with those. It's harder, but it works

hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well. I've never used the tripper in the crimping tools, they always cut into the strands too much imo

I don't think rg56 exists. The picture is of a rg6 connector but the description states otherwise. But when you talk about rg 59 vs rg6, rg6 is thicker hence rg59 plugs won't really fit into rg6 cables. Rg6 is used for cable coax connections and has higher bandwidth. Rg59 is used for video camera wires.

I cannot answer definitely, but I also wanted this and could not find any way to do it. Although you can add up to six strips per adapter, I could find no one that sold only the strips. I had to order 3 sets and do some maneuvering to get mine in order. Hope you can do the same.

Hi, This doesn't come with a powerstrip, However any 6-outet will fit Thanks
