Igus cuts cable stripping time in half with new product

igus UK, a leading expert in dynamic cabling for energy chains, has devised an intelligent solution to strip back long lengths of cable both quickly and easily.

By integrating a tear strip into the cable jacket, CFRIP simplifies the stripping back of the cables, especially for those with gusset-filled extruded jackets, without damaging the cores.

With just a few steps, the outer jacket can be opened like a zipper to the desired length by simply pulling the special CFRIP tear strip. Electrical engineers and panel fitters can not only save 50% of the cable stripping time typically required using conventional methods, but also avoid the need for additional cable stripping tools. The cables are also designed in such a way that the integrated tear strip doesn’t damage the outer jacket or cores during operation.
