Cone cutter for XLPE cables - precise moulding for secure joint assembly

What is a cone cutter for XLPE cables?

A cone cutter is a special tool for processing XLPE-insulated medium and high-voltage cables. It moulds the insulation layer of the cable into a defined cone shape that enables secure connection to joints or terminations. This creates uniform transitions and minimises the risk of partial discharges or electrical voltage surges.

Why is the use of a taper cutter so important?

  • Exact cone shape for optimum electrical transition

  • Avoidance of voltage peaks thanks to uniform edge profiles

  • Reproducible results thanks to defined cutting guide

  • Time saving compared to manual cone moulding with a file or knife

  • Increased operational reliability for joint and end assemblies

Cone cutters thus ensure that the connection between cable and joint functions reliably in the long term - a decisive factor in high-voltage technology.

Where are cone cutters used?

  • Energy supply and grid construction: preparation of medium and high-voltage cables

  • Industrial plant construction: cable processing for switchgear and distribution systems

  • Service and repair: renovation or retrofitting of existing cable systems

Cone cutters are always used when maximum precision and safety are required for insulation processing.

Which tools complement the cone cutter?

The following tools are recommended for complete cable processing:

The result is an end-to-end processing solution that covers all steps from preparation to final assembly.
