Wire and separation prep-tool

Abstract

A wire and separation prep-tool comprising of a hand-held prolate cylindrical rod shaft base member with one dull radial pointed conically narrowed end for penetrating the space between twisted pair wires, with no harm or injury to said wires, then physically expanding the distance between the wires as the tool is further pushed and penetrates further as the main shaft's conical walls increase in diameter; then moving adjacent in the direction of the opposite end: a single diametrically cut circular groove cut in and around the base shaft deep enough to hold, align and to separate said twisted pair wires into two single wires with an operator's hand pull. Finally, with multiple strokes per wire in this same groove, the tool can completely straighten a single wire from its pre-form wound; then continuing adjacent, a wider singular diametrical cut circular groove cut in and around the main base shaft to rub multiple times against a sheathed group of twisted wire pairs and smooth out inside kinks from the outside near the end to be terminated; then continuing adjacent, a designated length of an insulated tubular hand grip formed around the mid-section of the cylindrical rod for a 360 degree tubular grip; then continuing adjacent, a series of five diametrically cut circular grooves cut in and around the mains base shaft so to allow the field operator to correctly hold and pre-align five singular wires for the ease of plural wires installation into a female RJ-45 jack receptacle; then continuing adjacent, located at the center of the flat perpendicular end of the second end of the cylindrical rod shaft base is a centered rectangular notch thru the longitudal and horizontal axis which allows a sideways entry, perpendicular insertion of plural wires into the notch for narrowing, flattening, and pre-aligning into the prescribed positions for ease of these plural wires installation into a male RJ-45 plug. In summary, and as described herein, this compact tool invention has a total of five (5) distinct and integral subparts identified within to perform six different tasks on Category 1-10 twisted wire pair cables.

Benefits of technology

[0030] Located 360 degrees around the entire outside diameter of only the middle section of the prolate cylindrical rod shaft is an insulating tubular hand grip. It lies, by, and between the single wider sheath groove on one side and the inner and closest of the 5 plural wire diametrically circular grooves on the other side. It enhances grip while minimizing l...
