New CableSaber Will Cut Through Thick and Armored Cable Jackets

Elmsford, N.Y.—By popular demand, Jonard Tools has released the CableSaber+™ (AST-210)

This updated version of the award-winning AST-200 from 2020, features many of the same easy-to-use functions, however, the AST-210 features a longer blade length, making it perfect for use on a broader range of cables including Corning Optical’s 144F or their 1728F RocketRibbon® cable.

“The AST-210 is perfect for opening cables with extra thick jackets such as the Corning Rocket Ribbon Cables. The blade's unique shape and longer length allow you to cut through cable jackets up to 6.5mm in thickness with ease.” 

The AST-210 features a thumb screw to adjust the blade’s depth up to 6.5 mm (0.256”). The precision steel blade can easily cut through tough cable jacket materials without damaging interior fibers. The same thumb screw will also allow a user to set the blade for longitudinal cuts for slitting or set for radial cuts for ringing. The dial at the top of the AST-210 adjusts the height of the guide wheel to keep cables in place.

The AST-210 is lightweight and rugged, made with anodized aluminum and steel for maximum durability. Also, the aluminum shaft housing, that holds the guide wheel, acts as a convenient handle, which provides greater leverage while slitting or ringing cables. 

Lastly, as with most of our hand tools, the AST-210 is backed by our Made for Life®, guaranteed for life policy.
