Cutting ConQuest

Several tools have been found useful for the purpose of cutting ConQuest conduit. While selection of the tools is
usually defined by the users preference, there are some application restrictions based on tool designs.

To cut ConQuest, open the tool and place it around the
conduit at the point where the cut is to be made. While
applying pressure to the conduit with the cutting edge,
begin rotating the tool around the conduit increasing
pressure as you go. To provide an even cut, it is often
helpful to rotate the tool in opposite directions with each
full pass around the conduit.

NOTE: This is the preferred method for cutting conduit
with the pre-installed cable.

For ConQuest up to 2” (5cm), use a tubing sheer (such

as the CQATC2QP from CommScope).

For ConQuest up to 1.25” (3.2cm), use a ratchet

sheer (such as the CQARS1 from CommScope).
