A coring tool for a coaxial cable has a tool holder and cutter bit mounted to the tool holder. The cutter bit is constructed from a conductive metal or alloy which is durable for rotatably drilling out and removing a dielectric core surrounding a central conductor of the coaxial cable, as the central conductor is preserved by passing into a central bore formed in the cutter bit. The cutter bit also includes a non-conductive sleeve or coating which prevents the cutter bit from electrically interconnecting, e.g., shorting, the central conductor to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.

A connector assembly (10) is disclosed in which a connector part (12) and a cable manager part (20) are provided. The cable manager part (20) can be provided with a separable lacing fixture (24) that functions to retain the severed portions (6a) of the wires (6) that result from the termination process, rather than allowing the severed wire portions (6a) to fall to the floor in an uncollected state. In one aspect, the cable manager part (20) has a main body (22) to which the separable lacing fixture (24) is attached via a plurality of breakaway portions (34). During installation, the connector part (12) is inserted onto the cable manager part (20) and is placed in a wire termination tool (7) which fully inserts the connector part (12) onto the cable manager part (20). This action causes the connector part (12) to cut the wires (6) and to sever or break the breakaway portions (34) such that the separable lacing fixture (24) is separated from the fully formed connector (10).

A tool for mounting a coaxial cable on a first connector is disclosed, wherein the coaxial cable extending along a first axial is adapted to pass through a first outer sleeve of the first connector, wherein the tool comprises a plunger; and a mold comprising an upper mold hinge and a lower mold hinge, wherein the upper mold hinge pivotally connected to the lower mold hinge so as to rotate the upper mold hinge relative to the lower mold hinge with respect to a rotation axis, and a second axial direction of the rotation axis is parallel to the first axial direction, wherein the plunger is adapted to push the first connector so as to force the upper mold hinge and the lower mold hinge to press the first outer sleeve so as to deform the first outer sleeve radially.

Provided is a small-sized circuit board fixing structure capable of enabling a circuit board on a base to be easily replaced. A circuit board fixing structure configured to fix a circuit board onto a surface of a base includes a wire pattern formed on a surface of the circuit board, a first through hole penetrating from a front surface to a rear surface of the circuit board, a second through hole penetrating from a front surface to a rear surface of the base so as to communicate with the first through hole, an electrode penetratively inserted into the second through hole, and a fixing member engaged with the electrode mounted on the surface of the circuit board and configured to fix the circuit board to the base, in which when the fixing member and the electrode are engaged, the wire pattern and the electrode are electrically connected through the fixing member.

A crimping hand tool used for crimping a cable and a housing together is provided. The crimping hand tool includes a first body, a second body pivoted to the first body, a linking member pivoted to the second body, a crimping assembly pivoted to the linking member and slidably coupled to at least a portion of a guiding structure of the first body, and a stripping assembly slidably disposed in the first body. The first and the second bodies are pivoted to be opened or closed relatively so as to drive the linking member and push the crimping assembly forward to crimp the cable and the housing together. The stripping assembly is suited for being forced to cut and peel off an insulated layer from conducting lines of the cable.

A crimping tool for an electrical connector includes a frame defining an interior, a handle rotatably coupled with the frame, and a receptacle disposed within the interior of the frame and configured in size and shape to receive an electrical connector. The crimping tool further includes a push member, coupled with the handle, configured to apply a compressive force to an electrical connector disposed within the receptacle responsive to actuation of the handle relative to the frame and a blade coupled to the frame, to the receptacle, or to the push member, so as to be actuatable to cut excess wiring from an electrical connector disposed within the receptacle.

A terminating apparatus for terminating a plurality of wires of a cable to a plurality of connection terminations of a communication module, the communication module comprises at least one upright walls each provided with at least one receiving slots for receiving the connection terminations each of which is electrically connected with one wire. The terminating apparatus comprises: at least one terminating portion into which the upright walls of the communication module are able to be inserted, each terminating portion separately holding the plurality of wires of the cable; and at least one cutting apparatus mounted in the terminating portions outside the receiving slot of the communication module and constructed to cut off parts of the wires which extend out the receiving slots after the wires are terminated to the connection terminations of the communication module. The wires may be easily and quickly terminated to the communication module. External protection layers of the wires are pierced and conductors of the wires are electrically connected to the communication module during terminating the wires. It does not need to peel off the external protection layers of the wires before terminating the wires.
