Cutting tool for busbars and standard DIN rails
11 May 2026
PROFILE AND rail cutters from Phoenix Contact enable standard DIN rails and cable ducts to be cut to length quickly, precisely, and burr-free.

Due to the optimal lever ratio, cutting requires minimal effort and is easy on the joints, while the chip-free cut ensures a clean workspace and eliminates the need for rework.
The new PPS BASIC-C I/M adds a versatile cutting tool for standard DIN rails to the portfolio. In addition to the proven NS 35/7,5 and NS 35/15 DIN rails, it also cuts NS 30/15 rails with C profile and NLS CU 3/10 neutral busbars. The 1m long metric and inch measuring rail with end stops allows the cutting length to be set with millimeter precision.
The robust design guarantees a long service life. Predrilled screw holes allow for easy and secure benchtop mounting. The tool delivers precise, smooth cuts without chips or burrs, ensuring efficient workflows and professional results.
