COAX TOOL KIT
 |
The CAT-MULTIMEDIA tool kit is designed for contractors and installers who are faced with stripping different types of coax cable and compressing connectors from various manufacturers. The kit contains a CAT-MULTIMEDIA compression assembly tool, coaxial cable stripper, interchangeable plunger tips, and a gauge block for calibrating the compression assembly tool. The CAT tool features a sturdy aluminum body and spring-loaded split jaws that position the cable and connector for easy insertion and removal. The interchangeable plunger tips let you assemble 59/6 F, RCA, and BNC connectors from a variety of manufacturers. The coax stripper, meanwhile, provides one-step cable preparation designed to precisely expose the center conductor by 5/16-inch, and removes the proper length of jacket at ¼-inch for 59, 6, and mini-coax cable without blade or cassette adjustment.
