A self-resetting automatic cable cutter includes a body having an elongate cable slot disposed therein. The cable slot has an opening that is configured to receive a cable (wire) therein such that the cable slides along the cable slot. First and second cutting assemblies are positioned on opposing sides of the slot and a coupler is positioned across the cable slot. The coupler connects the first and second cutting assemblies together and is configured to slide away from the opening in response to force applied by the cable. The sliding of the coupler away from the opening in response to the force applied by the cable causes the first and second cutting assemblies to close together to cut the cable.
