Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are Cable Cutters?
Cable Cutters are specialised tools designed to cut electrical, communication, and fibre optic cables cleanly without crushing or deforming them.
2. How much do Cable Cutters cost in Kenya?
Prices typically range from KES 800 for basic models to over KES 55,000 for professional hydraulic cable cutters.
3. What is the difference between a standard and a ratchet Cable Cutter?
A ratchet Cable Cutter uses a geared mechanism that allows large cables to be cut with much less effort than standard manual cutters.
4. Can Cable Cutters be used on fibre optic cables?
Yes. Professional fibre optic cable cutters are specifically designed to cut fibre optic drop cables, communication cables, and Kevlar-reinforced cables without causing excessive damage. Experienced fibre technicians often recommend high-leverage or ratcheting cutters for larger armoured or FRP-reinforced cables.
5. What materials can Cable Cutters cut?
Depending on the model, they can cut copper, aluminium, communication cables, fibre optic cables, coaxial cables, and insulated electrical cables.
6. Are insulated Cable Cutters available?
Yes. Insulated Cable Cutters are available for electricians working on low-voltage electrical installations.
7. Why buy from Fiber Optics Kenya?
We supply genuine cable installation tools backed by expert technical support, competitive pricing, warranty assistance, and nationwide delivery.
