Bahco Cable Cutter for Telephone Cables

The Bahco Cable Cutter for Telephone Cables is a professional-grade cutting tool designed for electricians and telecommunications engineers working with aluminium and copper cables. These robust cable cutters are ideal for cutting telephone cables, electrical cables and similar conductors, with or without messenger wire, making them versatile for a range of cabling applications. With a blade length of 450mm (17¾ inches), these cutters deliver the leverage needed for clean cuts through substantial cable sections. The tool is engineered to handle aluminium and copper cables up to 30mm diameter, accommodating an additional messenger wire up to 6mm (1800 N/mm²) when present. This capacity makes them suitable for both standard electrical installations and more demanding telecommunications infrastructure work. The cutters feature specially designed notches on the blades for cutting ferrous materials, preserving the sharpened cutting edges for their primary purpose. To maximise service life, the main sharpened blade sections should only be used on non-ferrous materials such as aluminium and copper, with the notches employed when ferrous material needs to be cut. Features and Benefits: • Purpose-built for aluminium and copper cable cutting applications • 450mm blade length provides excellent leverage for efficient cutting • Dedicated notches protect sharpened edges when cutting ferrous materials • Handles cables with messenger wire for telecommunications work Specifications: Application: Copper & Aluminium Cable Size (mm): 450 Size (in): 17.3/4 Recommended maximum capacity: Alu/copper diameter of 30mm with a messenger wire (1800 N/mm2) of 6mm
