A cable end preparation device for preparing a cable end section, the cable end preparation device comprising a plurality of guides configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the end preparation device, and a cutter, the cable end preparation device being configured to be operated in:
- a first mode, in which the cutter is fixed in relation to at least half of the guides being configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the cable end preparation device, and
- a second mode, in which the cutter is allowed to move in relation to a majority of the plurality of guides being configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the cable end preparation device.
A method for preparation of a cable end section using a cable end preparation device including a plurality of guides configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the end preparation device, and a cutter, the cable end preparation device being configured to be operated with steps comprising:
- a first mode, in which the cutter is fixed in relation to at least half of the guides being configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the cable end preparation device, and
- a second mode, in which the cutter is allowed to move in relation to a majority of the plurality of guides being configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the cable end preparation device, the method including:
- arranging the cable end preparation device on the cable end section,
- operating the cable end preparation device in the first mode, in which the cutter is fixed in relation to at least half of the guides being configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the cable end preparation device,
- changing the cable end preparation device into the second mode, in which the cutter is allowed to move in relation to a majority of the plurality of guides being configured to contact a periphery of the cable end section during operation of the cable end preparation device, while the cable end preparation device is still arranged on the cable end section, and
- operating the cable end preparation device in the second mode.
