MCT

MULTI-COMPRESSION TOOLS


PRINT THIS
PAGE

Smartly designed with the technician in mind, MCT multi-compression tools feature an innovative wheel that positions one calibrated setting for use, while storing the other connector support dogs neatly away. Convenient, lightweight, rugged, and reliable, these tools attach all connectors commonly used in "RG" drop-cable applications.

THE MCT ADVANTAGE

  • Pre-calibrated at the factory for all compression connectors
  • "Spin and store" wheel for simple operation
  • One-handed cable insertion and removal
  • High mechanical leverage provides ease of closure on any connectors
  • Patented 360-degree connector support for uniform compression
  • Balanced, lightweight design for use with either hand

APPLICATIONS

MCT multi-compression tools attach all RCA, BNC, and F-type compression connectors used on RG-6, -59, -11 and mini-coax cables.


SPECIAL FEATURES

"Spin and Store" Connector Support

Wheel for Universal Application
An innovative spinning wheel allows easy selection of either of two factory-calibrated settings, while storing the alternate connector support dogs neatly out of the way.

Universal Tips
The plunger tips on MCT compression tools are truly universal. The tools support all connector types within a class, with no need to recalibrate the plunger throw or change the tip. The compression throw distance is set at the factory, and a hex lock nut keeps the tool calibrated over long periods of use. Field recalibration, if necessary, is quick and easy.

Slotted Plunger Tip for RCA Connectors
The 6/59 plunger tip is slotted to accommodate RCA-type connectors, facilitating easy connector insertion.

360-Degree Connector Support
Patented dogs provide 360-degree connector support, thereby ensuring uniform compression and preventing connector distortion caused by misalignment.

Efficient Self-releasing Dogs
Cables can be easily inserted and removed from the dogs with one hand, making MCT tools convenient and easy to use. This feature also helps avoid damage to cables.

High Mechanical Advantage
MCT tool handles give all the leverage needed to attach even the most difficult connectors with just one hand.

Ergonomic and Balanced Design
Designed with users in mind, these universal compression tools can be operated easily and comfortably with either hand.

Easy-release Handle
Spring-loaded handle locks for storage and opens with a quick-release trigger.

Magnetic Wrench Storage
A combination calibration wrench and gauge is stored conveniently inside the handle. A magnetic slot keeps the wrench secure between infrequent tool adjustments.

Smart, Lightweight Design
Constructed of high-strength materials for durability, MCT universal compression tools are surprisingly lightweight.

Tool Pouch
A tool pouch designed specifically for the MCT tool is separately available from Cable Prep.


WARRANTY

All Cable Prep brand tools are warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material. The metal bodies of MCT tools have a limited lifetime warranty.

Ordering Information

MCT tools come in two configurations. Each configuration has a connector support wheel with two sets of dogs. Each set of dogs is identified by a color-coded indicator on the front of the wheel, and supports all connectors in a given class.

To determine which tool is right for your application, determine the classes of connectors that you most often use and select the tool that supports those classes. Common connectors are listed below.
