Overview
Cable Installation Tools
Efficiency
is critical during cable installation. Increasingly vast networks of wires and
cables supply vital electric power and communication services, increasing
demands on a contractor’s time. As line installers and repairers fervently install
new lines and repair existing ones, the desire to do so more quickly and
economically has increased.

About Cable Installation Tools
Using
the correct termination tool can increase your productivity by enabling you to
install Cat 5(e) jacks six to eight times faster. Punchdown tools increase
accuracy and reliability, resulting in fewer reworks, which increases client
confidence.
There
are three types of punchdown tools used to terminate telecommunications cables:
manual, impact, and multi-wire. When any conductor is punched down, force is
required to seat the conductor. That power can be derived from one of two
methods; by human power by which an installer will use his hand or arm to
generate the force to seat the conductor using a non-impact tool, or by the use
of an impact tool. The basic impact tool has a spring-loaded head, which is
compressed by the installer with very little force required. Once the spring
reaches full compression, it is automatically released and the force is
transferred to the head of the impact tool, which then seats the conductor.
Advanced multi-wire tools such as JackRapid terminate all pairs with one
squeeze, reducing hand fatigue.
