Abstract: An apparatus for processing the ends of a coaxial high frequency cable, which has a tubular inner conductor, a dielectric enclosing the same, a tubular outer conductor arranged over the same concentrically to the inner conductor, and a sheath of insulation material enclosing the outer conductor. The apparatus includes a pot-like device (1) with a cylindrical hollow space (2) the diameter (D1) of which at the input area corresponds to the diameter of the high-frequency cable including the sheath. Within the device (1), at the end of the input area, at least one sheath knife (5) for cutting the sheath is arranged, the blade of which projects into the hollow space (2). The diameter (D2) of the hollow space (2) behind the input area corresponds to the outside diameter of the outer conductor of the high frequency cable.
