Panduit CT-260 Crimp Tool Forged Steel

Product Description

The PANDUIT CT-260 is a forged steel crimp tool designed for reliable, repeatable terminations in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. Forged steel construction gives the tool durability under repeated use in the field. It is sized and configured for use with compatible PANDUIT terminals and connectors. Electricians and low-voltage technicians working on panel wiring, control systems, and structured cabling installations rely on this type of tool to achieve consistent, code-compliant crimps without the inconsistency of hand-twisted connections.

The CT-260 is suited for professional electrical and low-voltage installations in both residential and commercial settings. It is typically used when terminating wire lugs, pin terminals, or insulated connectors at panel boards, junction boxes, or device termination points. Trade electricians and communication technicians will find this tool applicable to a range of connector styles that fall within its crimp specification.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimping tool for use with compatible PANDUIT terminals and connector accessories in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of crimp tools should be performed by a qualified electrician or low-voltage technician familiar with applicable NEC requirements for conductor terminations. Always de-energize the circuit before working on any termination point. Inspect the tool before each use for worn or damaged die surfaces that could result in an incomplete crimp. Follow the connector manufacturer's recommended wire strip length and insertion depth to ensure a secure termination.
