Abstract: A motorized armored cable cutter having a housing containing a motor powered by a power source. The motor is connected to a gearbox. The gearbox transmits rotational force from the motor to an arbor. The arbor rotates a cutting blade. The housing has a guard structure with a cutting blade cover, a primary cable trough, and a lever. The lever has an end configured for a user to depress located opposite another end connected to a secondary cable trough. The housing has a primary cable trough located opposite a secondary cable trough. The primary cable trough and secondary cable trough capture and retain the armored cable. When the lever is depressed by a user, the secondary cable trough is oriented toward the primary cable trough resulting in the armored cable to contact the cutting blade, as the cutting blade protrudes through an opening of the primary cable trough.
