2 Ply Colored Yellow Ripcord Twist Polyester Yarn used for UTP CAT6
Network Cable
Rip cords are industrial yarns located longitudinally just under
the jackets that cover conductor wires in cables. The purpose of a
rip cord is to cut back the jacket to expose the wires of the cable
so you don't run the risk of cutting any of the wires inside (you
pull the cord, it cuts the jacket). This helps make splicing cables
easier during installations.
Common Types of Rip Cords
Rip cords are made from a wide variety specialty yarns. Some of the
most common yarns used are:
Nylon
Aramid (Para-aramid)
Polyester
Here are some basic product specifications for our most popular
nylon, polyester, and aramid ripcord options.
