  • Device for providing enhanced electrical performance of a connector
    Patent number: 12763554
    Abstract: A tool configured to cut a pin of a cable connector that may include a cutter portion and a gauge portion. The cutter portion may be configured to receive a pin of a cable connector to be cut. The gauge portion may be configured to include a receiving portion that is configured to receive a pin of a cable connector. The gauge portion may be configured to rotate relative to the cutter portion around an axis. The gauge portion may include a gauge thickness dimension that is configured to correspond to a predetermined cut length of the pin. The gauge portion also may be configured to permit the cutter portion to cut the pin received by the receiving portion to at least one predetermined length that is needed for an installation so as to provide uniform electrical performance of the connector, which may be a coaxial or hardline connector.
