what's the best way/tool to strip a telecoms cable?

Question

doing cable joints, 2pair and 10 pair 1.4mm, and looking to remove the outer insulation but leave the foiled screen in place, removing the grease and doing the joint ain't a problem it's just this damn foiled screen.

it's a outdoor cable with about 2-3mm of pvc type plastic insulation.
and the grease is apparently for insulation and interference purposes.

Answer 1

Nick the end of the sheath and pull the nylon stripping thread back as far as you need.

(What grease?? is it outdoor cable?)
