DX Engineering Introduces New Coaxial Prep Tool Kit for Crimp Connectors

DX Engineering now offers an easy way to precisely prepare coaxial cable ends for RF crimp connectors. Its Coaxial Cable Prep Tool Kit for Crimp Connectors (DXE-UT-KIT-CC1) contains everything Amateur Radio enthusiasts need for professional-quality cutting, stripping and trimming of cable ends.

The kit includes 4 coaxial cable strippers, grippers for 8X and 213-size coaxial cables, 10 replacement blades, side cutter braid trimmers, CHANNELLOCK cable cutters and a custom carrying case.

The hinged strippers allow users to insert a coax against an internal stop, close the tool, and rotate to cut the cable to the correct measurement using three internal blades. The cable is reinserted into the other end and then withdrawn for simple removal of the cut portion.

The strippers will prepare 400MAX, 8U, 213U, LMR-400, 8X and LMR-240-size cables for installation of crimp-style PL-259, N Type and BNC connectors. These tools are designed to prepare cables only for DX Engineering and Amphenol® crimp connectors. See more about connector compatibility here.

DX Engineering also offers an all-in-one crimping solution. The Ultra-Crimp 2 Crimp Connector Kit (DXE-UT-KIT-CRMP2) crimps 0.405 inch and 0.240 inch families of connectors, as well as three sizes of Anderson Power Poles®—15A, 30A and 45A.
