Abstract: The present invention provides a connector tool capable of holding a cable connector, for coupling and/or decoupling the connector into or from a connector port in an area having a high density of connector ports. The connector tool comprises a sleeve and a gripper, wherein the gripper has at least two fingers that form a slot for engaging the connector. The fingers are capable of being drawn into the sleeve to form a compartment in interlocking engagement with the connector. In an embodiment, the connector tool is capable of handling a SC fiber optic cable connector. In another embodiment, the connector tool is capable of handling an electrical cable connector.
