Extron Introduces the Universal BNC Crimp Tool

Anaheim, California (June 9, 2004) - Extron Electronics is pleased to introduce the heavy-duty Universal BNC Crimp Tool, designed to terminate all Extron coaxial cables using reliable low-cost crimp connectors from Extron. Terminating Extron cables no longer requires multiple tools or dies. This rugged lightweight stamped steel frame is built to survive the most rigorous work environments, and the die has been specially engineered by Extron to exert maximum crimp force for reliable and consistent terminations. "System integrators only need one tool for terminating Extron coaxial cable," notes Lee Dodson, vice president of marketing. "The Universal Crimp Tool eliminates the need to switch dies or tools, improving installation efficiency without sacrificing quality." Featuring a perfect blend of form and function, the angled head, pivot pins, full cycle ratchet mechanism, and ergonomic soft grip handle increase leverage and reduce hand force for a tight, clean, complete crimp cycle. The angled head allows for a more natural position when terminating cables. While the reduced handle distance accommodates small and large hands making the tool more comfortable to use. The Extron Universal BNC Crimp Tool is available now. List price for the Universal BNC Crimp Tool is $220.00.
