Utilizing curved cutting blades, this tool ensures round cables up to 1\/2-inch in diameter are cleanly severed without flattening or distorting the outer geometry. Maintaining this cable geometry is crucial for preserving the electrical and signal performance of structural cabling and coaxial lines. The tool features built-in bolt cutting holes specifically designed for trimming steel-reinforced center conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from black oxide-coated stamped steel, the 45-074 provides long-lasting durability in the field. Spring-loaded handles help reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cuts, while a locking pawl securely keeps the tool closed when not in use. Additionally, the blade edges are capable of being filed to remove dings and normal edge wear, extending the effective lifecycle of the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved blade profile maintains round cable geometry to prevent impedance mismatches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily cuts coaxial cable (up to RG-11) and twisted pair\/structured cable bundles up to 1\/2\" (12.7 mm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated cutting holes for trimming copper-clad steel center conductors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide-coated stamped steel construction for wear and corrosion resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded action with padded handles to minimize operator fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServiceable blade edges can be filed to repair minor wear and extend tool life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45-074\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Cable Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/2 inch (12.7 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Cable Types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoaxial (RG-59 through RG-11), Twisted Pair, Structured Cable Bundles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTool Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\/Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStamped Steel \/ Black Oxide Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePadded, Spring-Loaded with Locking Pawl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this cutter be used to cut solid hard steel cables?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the curved cutting blades are not intended for hard steel cables or solid steel conductors.
