Cabelcon CX3 Pocket Compression Tool for F & IEC Connectors – RG59/RG6

Professional Compact Coaxial Compression Tool – Cabelcon, an Amphenol Company

The Cabelcon CX3 Pocket Compression Tool (98029070) is a high-quality, professional installation tool designed for fitting Cabelcon CX3 F-type and IEC compression connectors onto RG59 and RG6 coaxial cables.

Manufactured by Cabelcon, an Amphenol company, this compact and robust tool provides a fast, reliable and consistent method of terminating coaxial cables, making it an excellent choice for satellite, terrestrial television and cable distribution installations.

Unlike conventional crimping tools, which deform the connector using crimping jaws, the CX3 uses a compression mechanism to securely assemble the connector onto the prepared coaxial cable. This produces a strong, dependable connection with excellent mechanical retention and a professional finish.

The tool features a durable metal body, an ergonomic blue cushioned handle and a compact pocket-sized design, making it particularly useful for engineers and installers working in confined spaces or carrying out installations on site.

Reliable Connections for Satellite and TV Installations

A properly installed coaxial connector is essential for maintaining signal quality and ensuring the long-term reliability of satellite and terrestrial television systems.

Poorly fitted or loose connectors can cause intermittent reception, signal loss and other difficult-to-diagnose problems. In outdoor installations, inadequate connections may also allow moisture to enter the cable, leading to corrosion and deterioration over time.

When used with suitable Cabelcon CX3 compression connectors, this tool helps installers achieve consistently secure terminations, reducing the likelihood of connection-related faults.

For professional installers, getting the connection right first time is particularly important, as even a relatively inexpensive faulty connector can result in a costly and time-consuming return visit.

Compact Design for Professional Installers

The CX3 Pocket Tool is designed to provide professional compression performance without the bulk of larger installation tools.

Its compact design is particularly useful when working behind televisions, inside equipment cabinets, in lofts or in other areas where space is limited.

The cushioned handle makes it comfortable to operate, while the sturdy metal construction ensures it is well suited to regular use.

Suitable Applications

• Satellite dish and LNB installations

• Freesat and satellite receiver connections

• Terrestrial television aerial systems

• Coaxial cable distribution networks

• Multiswitch and communal satellite installations
