Abstract: A termination assembly for a mini-coaxial cable wherein the connector body is conformable for use with different sized cables, the connector body can be assembled in the field with selected crimping members and centering guides of matching colors to signify the cable size to be inserted into the connector body, and each different sized cable may include a portion which is color-coded to correspond to the colors of the crimping member and guide assembled into the connector body for that size of cable.

Abstract: A hand-held coaxial cable stripper made up of first and second jaws pivotally connected to a body portion including a channel for insertion of a cable end, the channel containing blade members and a blade adjustment member for precise and accurate adjustment of the cutting depth of the blade.

Abstract: Hand held tools have been devised for preparing and crimping cables and specifically coaxial cables for television, a first form of tool made up of a low profile body having a main channel with a threaded crimping bolt for crimping circular fittings by axial compression onto the end of the cable, and a second form has a main channel which utilizes the same crimping bolt to carry out hexagonal crimping operations; and both forms have a channel for preparing each cable end for the crimping operation in which stripper blades are pivotally mounted for movement into engagement with the cable end to strip away one or more layers of the cable under the control of an adjustable limit stop which regulates the depth of penetration of each blade.
