West Penn Wire CPLCCT-SLMR Universal Compression Tool

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE CPLCCT-SLMR is a universal compression tool designed for terminating coaxial cable connectors in low-voltage wiring applications. Built to handle both RG59 and RG6 connector types, this tool provides consistent, repeatable crimps on compression-style F-connectors and similar fittings. It is a staple in the toolkits of low-voltage installers, AV technicians, and security and surveillance system integrators who require reliable coaxial terminations on the job. The tool ships as a single unit and is suited for both field service and bench work where coaxial connector installation is a routine task.

This compression tool is used in residential and light commercial installations involving coaxial cable runs for CCTV, satellite, cable TV, and structured wiring systems. It is well suited for wire termination tasks where a clean, secure compression fitting is required rather than a crimp-style connection. Installers working on surveillance camera wiring, antenna distribution systems, or any application calling for RG59 or RG6 coaxial terminations will find this tool applicable to standard compression connector formats encountered in the field.

Key Features

• Universal design accommodates both RG59 and RG6 coaxial compression connectors
• Compression-style termination delivers a more secure and weather-resistant connection than crimp alternatives
• Single-action mechanism for consistent connector seating with each use
• Compact form factor suitable for field carry and tight installation spaces
• Sold as an individual unit for direct replacement or toolkit addition

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard RG59 and RG6 compression-style coaxial connectors commonly used in low-voltage wire termination applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by low-voltage technicians and licensed electricians working under NEC Article 820 guidelines for coaxial cable installations. Before terminating any connector, ensure the cable end is cleanly stripped and trimmed to the connector manufacturer's specifications. No power source is required for tool operation, but all active coaxial circuits should be de-energized or disconnected before handling cable ends. Avoid over-inserting the connector into the tool die, as this can deform the fitting and compromise the termination.
