Vintage telecom wire preparation / stripping tool for 24 and 26 AWG solid copper conductors.
Originally used in building entrance protector fields for 5-pin overvoltage protection systems.
Function:
- Strips insulation to precise length for wire-wrap terminations
- Adjustable depth/length control for consistent prep
- Designed to maintain conductor integrity, including 26 AWG fuse leads
Background:
In traditional telco protection systems, 24 AWG and 26 AWG conductors were used on opposite sides of 5-pin protectors, with the 26 AWG acting as a fuse element during overcurrent events. This tool was used to prepare those conductors for wire-wrap posts.
Condition:
- Used, good working condition
- Normal cosmetic wear from age/storage
- Adjustment mechanism operates smoothly
Notes:
- Specialty legacy telecom tool
- Ideal for collectors, vintage telecom enthusiasts, or niche applications
