Speed Systems Mark II Speed Stripper: Reliable Precision for Power Cable Preparation

Preparing medium-voltage power cable for termination requires accuracy, consistency, and dependable tools. The Speed Systems Mark II Speed Stripper is designed to help utility professionals and electrical crews remove cable insulation efficiently while maintaining control throughout the preparation process. With its heavy-duty construction, precision components, and cable-feeding roller system, this insulation stripper is a practical addition to a professional lineman’s tool kit.

Designed for Efficient Cable Insulation Removal

The Speed Systems Mark II Speed Stripper is designed for power cables with an outside diameter ranging from 1-3/4 inches to 3 inches (44.5–76.2 mm). It is supplied with an AO11 wedge blade for applications involving 15–35 kV XLP cable.

One of the tool’s key advantages is its eight heat-treated rollers, which are angle-mounted to improve cable feeding and reduce friction as the stripper rotates. This design helps the tool move along the cable during operation, supporting a more consistent insulation removal process.

For linemen and electrical utility technicians who regularly prepare larger power cables, these features can help streamline repetitive cable preparation tasks while maintaining control over the work.

Heavy-Duty Construction and Adjustable Design

Built for demanding professional applications, the Mark II combines durable construction with adjustable side frames that clamp securely onto the cable using knurled thumb nuts. These adjustable frames eliminate the need for sizing bushings or adapters within the tool’s specified cable diameter range.

The Mark II’s design helps simplify setup while keeping the cable securely positioned during stripping. Its combination of reliable clamping, precision rollers, and specialized cutting components makes it suitable for utility crews working on underground power distribution systems and other cable installation projects.

For applications involving bonded semiconductive shielding, the Speed Systems AO13 shaving blade is available for removing the semiconductive layer. Selecting the appropriate blade for the cable construction and preparation requirements is essential for achieving the intended result.

Improve Cable Preparation Accuracy with the Mark II

Consistency matters when preparing power cable for termination. The Speed Systems Mark II supports efficient insulation removal, while an optional Mark II Tool Stop can help produce an accurate square cut during the final revolution of the tool. The tool stop is sold separately, so professionals should account for this accessory when selecting their equipment.

Whether you’re equipping a utility crew, upgrading cable preparation tools, or replacing existing equipment, the Speed Systems Mark II Speed Stripper offers a durable, purpose-built solution for professional power cable preparation.
