The invention is related to a cassette for machining a connector. The cassette is detachably disposed in a tool body having a head and a driving element. The direction of motion of the driving element defines a first axis. The cassette comprises: a cassette body and a machining block. The cassette body is detachably disposed in an opening of the head of the tool body and has a machining opening therein. The machining block is slidably disposed in the cassette body along the first axis and has an engagement element detachably engaged with the driving element of the tool body. Through the engagement element, the driving element drives the machining block to slide along the first axis to move toward or away from the machining opening.

The invention relates to pressing or crimping pliers (1). According to the invention a spring device (35) (which is e.g. embodied as U-shaped leaf spring (36)) is used in the crimping pliers. In an equilibrium position (48) the leaf spring (36) is trapped between stops (49, 50). If the pressing or crimping pliers (1) are moved from the equilibrium position (48) in closing direction the leaf spring (36) is biased by a follower (54) such that the leaf spring (36) generates an opening force. In reversed direction the opening movement of the pressing or crimping pliers (1) from the equilibrium position (48) leads to a bias of the leaf spring (36) by a follower (55) such that the leaf spring is able to generate a closing force. According to the invention it is possible to provide that the pressing or crimping pliers (1) automatically and elastically open when reaching the closed position. Furthermore, a workpiece inserted into the pressing or crimping pliers (1) is clamped by a closing force and secured in this way.

A crimping tool includes a base, a press handle, a slide module, a link and a fixed fix shaft. The base has two first side walls and to sliding space is defined therebetween. One end of the press handle is pivoted at an end of the base. The slide module is slidably accommodated in the sliding space and has a guiding groove. Two ends of the link are pivoted at the press handle and the slide module separately. The fix shaft is disposed across the two first side walls and inserted in the guiding groove. When the press handle drives the slide module sliding in the sliding space through the link, the guiding groove of the slide module will be guided and restricted by the fix shaft. Therefore, the guiding grooves will not be damaged and get dirt.

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.

A crimping hand tool used for crimping a coaxial cable and a coaxial terminal together is provided. The crimping hand tool includes a first body, a second body pivoted to the first body, a first linking body having a first end pivoted to the second body and a second end, a second linking body having a third end pivoted to the first body and a fourth end, a third linking body having a fifth end and a sixth end, a moving assembly, and a crimping assembly, wherein the second, the fourth, and the sixth ends are pivoted coaxially. The moving assembly is pivoted to the fifth end and slidably coupled to the first body along an axial direction. The crimping assembly is disposed on and moves along with the moving assembly to crimp the coaxial cable and the coaxial terminal together.

An adjustable coaxial cable compression tool, terminating a coaxial cable connector onto a coaxial cable end, comprising a plunger, a body, a fixed guideway plate, a first moveable guideway plate, a second moveable guideway plate, and a die block is provided. The plunger comprises a first plunger head and a second plunger head, both having different shapes conforming to different types of coaxial cable connectors and are interchangeable. The body has a body receiving end, wherein the plunger is slidable therein. The fixed, first moveable and second moveable guideway plates have fixed, first and second guideways, each having different diameters, respectively. The die block comprises first and second die halves. The plunger is axially advanced to force the coaxial cable connector onto the coaxial cable end, radially contracting the coaxial cable connector into compression engagement with the coaxial cable end.

A compression tool for fastening a cable to a connector comprising an elongated tool frame, an anvil secured to one end of the tool frame, a compression plunger slidable along a portion of the tool frame, a handle set adapted to move the compression plunger toward and away from the anvil and a spacer block for securing the connector a distance from the anvil. The handle set may include a first handle movable from a first position wherein the plunger is a first distance from the anvil to a second position wherein the plunger is a second distance from the anvil. The spacer block may include a first end and a second end having a different depth from the first end and be rotatable so that the first end when rotated to the active position secures the connector a first distance from the anvil and the second end, when rotated to the active position secures the connector a second distance from the anvil.

A universal compact compression tool includes a vise assembly having different sets of jaws. The different sets of jaws are for holding different connectors during installation on a cable. A shaft on the tool is mounted to move between advanced and retracted positions with respect to the vise assembly. On the shaft, a plunger is mounted to move between first and second positions. In the first position of the plunger, the plunger is advanced on the shaft. In the second position of the plunger, the plunger is retracted on the shaft. The user sets the plunger in either the first or the second position depending on the type of connector to be installed on the cable. Once selected, and with the connector in the vise assembly, the user closes a lever of the tool to move the shaft to the advanced position, thereby applying the connector to the cable.
