Does it have wire strippers, and if so, is it able to strip CAT6 cables?

Yes. CAT6 are delicate, but should work fine as long as you work carefully.

It has a stripper on it that you control with your hand pressure, not much to write home about but OK in a pinch. Nothing replaces a good set of made for the purpose wire strippers

No wire strippers; wire cutters only.However, this is the handiest tool I've found with a pocket clip (i.e. always with you). I carry it everyday and have given it as a gift multiple times.

No wire strippers. if you were good, you could use the wire cutters and strip with those. It's harder, but it works

Yes it will strip the outer sheathing, but I doubt it will strip the thin conductors to bare copper

Well, I am using it to cat 6 plugs and cables and works but i did not fully test it on gigabit switch, but for phone links i guess this will work.

Only wire is the safety disconnect box in case tow bar and runaway cables break. I'm not using mine, so no wires for me. I love this unit, so easy to use and setup. Comes with a wireless remote that tells me it's working correctly.

We have not used indoor Cat6 cable so nothing to compair it to. The outdoor cable is pretty flexible that we just purchased.

Yes, when I first got the tool I wasn't sure it would. But I does. I mainly use for my Cat5 and Cat6s network cutting. I bought a seperat tool for cutting coaxial cords.

Hello, I am not sure about CAT 5 vs. CAT 6...if you tell me how to distinguish the two I will be happy to check it out and get back to you. They do have a connector for both ends of the connections...you can simply plug a patch cable in to either end. Only other thing I would add is that the opening mechanism is pretty stuborn and hard to open sometimes. Seems to be improving with age and use. Darren

Yes, it strips speaker wire and telephone wire as well as normal electrical gauge wire

I used a really old one at work almost exclusively for Coax (RG59 mainly, but 6 as well). A dedicated coax stripper might be better for you if you just want to do coax, but I use this for various wire types.

No , you need to run a sepret Ethernet cord . One of the best cords is a cat 6

It will test cat6 runs for continuity and pair swaps but it's not a performance or bandwidth certification tool. It's just a basic DC tester.

Yes. Is can be adjusted to strip cables up to 5/16-3/8 diameter. There are others that are designed specifically for rg6 but it will work

No..but you can velcro the Anchor to the back right above the back slot for cables. You can get velcro strips for $1.

not sure, but CAT6 all the way has been working for me. the switch thing? not sure. these units are point2point.

My husband who is an electrician says that no it will not strip phone wire. It would be more worth your time to just scrap the wire with the cover.

I used it once or twice to strip cable and it worked fine. However, I find it's easier to just score the cable jacket with a utility knife and pull the scored piece off. The crimper works excellent. I've ran Cat5 to multiple rooms and have no issues with the connections.

Yes. There is an on/off switch. It can feed and cut power to all sockets on the strip.
