Cable cutters and slitters are tools used in the installation and maintenance of cable and wire-based systems. They are designed to accurately and efficiently cut and slit various types of cables, including copper and fiber optic cables.

Cable cutters are used to cut through the cable to a specified length, while cable slitters are used to precisely cut a lengthwise slit in the cable, which is then used to strip away the insulation to expose the conductors.

There are several types of cable cutters and slitters available, each designed for specific types of cables and applications. For example, there are specialized tools for cutting and slitting fiber optic cables, which require precision cutting to avoid damaging the delicate fiber optics inside.

Cable cutters and slitters are essential tools for any cable or wire-based system, as they ensure that cables are cut to the correct length, and that the insulation is removed cleanly, minimizing the risk of damage to the cable and ensuring a reliable connection.
