Panduit CD-800-2 Die Insert Crimping Tool

Product Description

The PANDUIT CD-800-2 is a die insert designed for use with the CA-8 crimping tool. Die inserts are interchangeable tooling components that define the crimp profile applied to a connector or terminal during installation. This insert fits into the CA-8 tool head and allows electricians and data-comm installers to crimp the correct geometry for their specific connector type. Selecting the correct die insert is essential for achieving a reliable, gas-tight crimp that meets industry workmanship standards.

The CD-800-2 is intended for use in electrical and structured-cabling installation environments where the PANDUIT CA-8 crimping tool is already in service. It is a single-unit accessory sold individually and is suited for professional installers who need to extend or adapt their existing CA-8 tool for additional connector types or replacement of a worn die set.

Installation Notes

Die inserts should be installed and removed by a qualified electrician or low-voltage technician following the CA-8 tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the crimping tool is not under load and is clear of any connectors before changing die inserts. Inspect the insert for wear or damage before use, as a damaged die can produce out-of-spec crimps that compromise connection integrity.
