The 6ES7194-2KA00-0AA0 is a dedicated stripping tool for SIMATIC ET‑Connection bus cables. Unlike a general‑purpose wire stripper, it is calibrated to remove both the outer insulation and the braided shield in a single action — leaving the inner conductors perfectly prepared for FastConnect insulation‑displacement connectors. This eliminates the risk of nicking the copper conductors or leaving stray shield strands that can cause intermittent faults, and it significantly speeds up wiring on large ET 200 installations where hundreds of bus cable terminations must be made reliably in the field.

How It Works

• One‑step operation: insert the ET‑Connection bus cable, squeeze the tool, and pull — the outer jacket and braided shield are removed to the exact length required by the FastConnect connector, in one motion.
• Repeatable precision: the tool uses a fixed blade geometry matched to the ET‑Connection cable construction, so every strip is identical — no under‑stripping that blocks the IDC contact, no over‑stripping that exposes conductors to shorts.
• No blade adjustments: the cutting depth is factory‑set for ET‑Connection cables, eliminating trial‑and‑error and wasted cable ends during commissioning.

Compatibility

• ET‑Connection bus cables: specifically designed for the 4‑pin ET‑Connection system used in SIMATIC ET 200 distributed I/O stations.
• FastConnect connectors: the stripped cable end fits directly into the FastConnect insulation‑displacement connector, forming a gas‑tight, vibration‑proof connection.
• Optional blade cassette: for long‑term maintenance, a replaceable green blade cassette (6GK1901‑1B...) is available separately.
