ORBIS electrical cable cutters meet the need to cut aluminium core and copper core cables in residential and industrial electrical installations. Three codes in the group are distributed by cable diameter: 47-2100/20RR suits small cables up to Ø12mm, 47-1800/40RV features curved jaw and VDE 1000V insulation for environments with voltage, 47-5000/BDZM handles cables up to 27mm diameter including multi-core cables.
Made in Germany, the codes comply with European standards and ergonomic design helps reduce hand fatigue. Buyers should note not to use for load-bearing cables or cables with steel core, and check the insulation layer periodically. Choosing the correct code according to cable diameter helps ensure clean cutting edge and safety during installation.

Selecting the correct model according to cable diameter helps ensure clean cutting edges and safety during installation work.
Cable cutters serve the need to cut electrical conductors in various working environments. The available lines meet requirements from aluminum-core and copper-core cables to multi-core cables with different diameters. Users should note that not all lines are suitable for load-bearing cables or cables with steel cores. Selecting the right tool helps ensure clean cutting edges and avoids damaging the conductive core inside. In the group, three main models include 47-2100-20RR for cables with diameters up to Ø12mm, 47-1800-40RV with curved jaws and VDE insulation, and 47-5000-BDZM for cutting diameters up to 27mm.
Each model has its own design, suitable for specific cable types and installation conditions. Users should compare the actual cable diameter with the specifications marked on the cutting mouth to avoid overloading the blade. Using the wrong type can deform the core or cause danger when working with live electrical circuits.
All models in the group originate from ORBIS manufactured in Germany, complying with European technical standards. The ergonomic design helps reduce hand fatigue when cutting many cable sections continuously. Insulated handles on some models meet VDE 1000V standards, supporting safety when in close contact with electrical circuits.
Users need to check the condition of the insulation layer periodically to ensure protection effectiveness.
Cutting diameter determines the range of cables that each model can handle. This specification is usually engraved directly on the cutting mouth or noted in technical documentation. Exceeding the limit causes the blade to wear quickly or fail to cut through. Users should measure the cable diameter before selecting a tool. Models in the group range from small to medium diameters, suitable for most residential and light industrial projects.
Model 47-2100-20RR supports cables with diameters up to Ø12mm or cross-section 70mm². The bypass cutting type similar to scissors provides flat cutting edges without crushing the core. This model is suitable for aluminum-core or copper-core cables, not for load-bearing cables or steel cores. The cutting mouth is engraved with specifications for quick user reference. The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry in a portable tool bag.
Model 47-5000-BDZM handles cables with diameters up to 27mm, including multi-core cables. The ratchet mechanism reduces the force required for each cut. The blade is designed to cut aluminum and copper cores without deforming the conductor structure. Users should avoid using it for steel-core cables or armored cables. The handle features an ergonomic grip to minimize hand strain during extended use.
Model 47-1800-40RV features VDE 1000V insulated handles, tested to 10,000V in water. The 25-degree angled jaws allow access to cables in tight spaces. The blade lock mechanism keeps the tool closed when not in use, improving safety during transport. This model is suitable for working near live circuits in residential and commercial installations. The chrome-plated surface resists corrosion in humid environments.
Additional models in the ORBIS cable cutter range include 47-1800-30RR and 47-2200-30RR with black-red handles and chrome-plated surfaces, 47-2200-40RV with VDE insulation at 220mm length, and 47-2300-38Y2 with two-component red handles and anti-slip grip surfaces. Models 47-1800-2022 and 47-2200-2022 feature red PVC handles with black edges and polished surfaces. The EvoShark series includes 47-1800-44RV and 47-2200-44RV with leverage joints and blade locks, chrome-plated mirror-finish surfaces, and red-yellow insulated handles.
When selecting a cable cutter, users should verify the cable diameter, core material, and working environment. For cables up to Ø12mm in dry environments, 47-2100-20RR provides sufficient capacity. For work near live circuits, models with VDE insulation such as 47-1800-40RV offer additional protection. For larger cables up to 27mm diameter, 47-5000-BDZM delivers the necessary cutting capacity. Regular inspection of the blade edge and insulation layer maintains tool performance and user safety throughout the service life.
