Wire Cut & Strip Services – Precision Cut-to-Length Processing

Overview

International Wire & Cable provides production-grade wire cut and strip services for manufacturers, OEMs, and contractors who need repeatable cut-to-length wire processing with clean, accurate strip results. Our controlled processes deliver consistent lengths, precise strip dimensions, and clean terminations that reduce assembly time and rework.

Cut-to-Length Wire Processing for Production & Assembly

Our wire cutting and stripping services support prototypes, pre-production builds, and full-scale manufacturing. We process single-conductor and jacketed cable for applications where consistent length and strip accuracy are critical.

What to Send for a Fast Quote

If you have a print, send it. If not, the checklist below is enough for pricing and lead time.

  • Conductor size (AWG/MCM), material, and insulation type
  • Cut length and allowable tolerances (if specified)
  • Strip dimensions (both ends and any window strips)
  • Slug-retained or slug-removed requirements (by end if different)
  • Quantity, packaging, labels, kitting, or bundle counts

Cut & Strip FAQ

Can you leave the slug on the end after stripping?

Yes. Specify slug-retained and the length of insulation to retain. We can also mix slug-retained on one end and slug-removed on the other.

What tolerances can you hold?

Typical cut length and strip length tolerances meet or exceed industry standards; we’ll match your print. Statistical process data (Cpk) and certificates are available on request.

Do you work with PTFE/Teflon® insulation?

Yes. We process PTFE and other engineered insulations with tooling and parameters tuned to prevent nicking or cold flow.

What’s the fastest way to get a quote?
