New low cost tools for data and video installation are convenient, robust and economical

• Ideal for home networking installers

.Ideal Industries has launched a new range of effective, low-cost stripping and termination tools and connectors for installers of twisted pair UTP and coax cables. Costing much less than traditional offerings, the new economy range is ideal for home and business premise installations. Products can be bought individually or packaged in handy kits.

As today’s installers are increasingly required to broaden the scope of their offering for business and home networks - to include distribution of TV, audio and CCTV signals alongside data and / or electrical installation - so the investment they are required to make in appropriate tools increases. Ideal’s new economy range provides an entry-level option, ideal for helping to support expansion into new areas of business, or as additional equipment.

The range includes economy stripping tools for UTP twisted pair and coax cables, high-quality, self-locking push-on F connectors and a multi-function cut, strip and crimping tool complete with RJ11 and RJ45 modular plugs.

The stripping tools are simple, quick and reliable to use. They fit neatly in the hand; the user simply rotates the tool a couple of times to effect a strip. For voice and data installations, the handy UTP Stripper offers an economical solution for stripping Category 3, 5, 5e and 6 cables and comes at the throw-away price of only £2.75.

For satellite TV, CATV and CCTV signal distribution over coax cable, the larger Coax Stripper is suitable for all braided types of RG-59 and RG-6 series cables. It prepares the cable for termination in just two simple steps with no need for any adjustment. It can be supplied on its own for just £5.95 or complete with a set of four push-on F-Connectors for £7.95.

The F-Connectors - by far the fastest and easiest-to-install connectors on the market - simply push on to the stripped cable with no tools required. They feature a self-locking design that ensures they will not come loose and are made of nickel-plated brass for minimal signal loss.

The Ideal low cost Crimping Tool offers a convenient and economical solution for terminating modular RJ11 and RG45 plugs. Its ergonomic design with a spring handle, handle lock and soft chemical resistant comfort grip are reminiscent of much more expensive tools, yet the complete kit costs only £18.50. The multi-function tool combines cutting, stripping and crimping of Category 3, 5, and 5e cables in one robust, steel-framed device. The tool comes standard with RJ11 and RJ45 die sets which are easily changed by hand; they are simply slotted into place and secured using the thumbscrew. Ten of each plug type (RJ11and RJ45) are supplied with the crimpling tool.
