The way we strip a cable not only depends on its size, but also on the kind of connector. It is very important to keep the proper length of the insulating layer which is removed from the cable, of the conducting sheath, insulating spacer, and the length of the inner conductor. The dimensions are precisely defined for each kind of connector and have to be strictly maintained to keep up with industry standards.

The connector is used in RF applications up to 11 GHz, with 50 ohm cables (H-155 and RLF-5) - for example in 2.4 GHz transceivers and antennas.
