Ideal 30-578 Replacement Die

The Ideal 30-578 is a voice and data crimping die designed for RG59 and RG6 coaxial cables. It provides four distinct crimping sizes to match hex crimp plugs and connectors. The die set is compatible with Crimpmaster model 30-506 frames. Two pieces are included in the package.

For installers needing four hex crimp sizes

Technicians who terminate RG59 and RG6 cables with silver colour-coded hex connectors will find the four cavity sizes useful. The die requires a compatible Crimpmaster frame to operate. Installers using non-hex connector types or different cable standards should look at other die profiles.

Four crimp cavities at .042, .068.

The die set offers four precise hole sizes: .042 in, .068 in, .255 in and .324 in. These dimensions determine which RG59 and RG6 hex connectors can be crimped. Verify your connector specifications match these exact cavity sizes before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does this die set work with the Crimpmaster 30-506 frame I already own?

Yes, the 30-578 is designed to fit the Crimpmaster 30-506 tool frame for hex crimp plugs and connectors.

Can I still crimp RG59 and RG6 cables with the same four hole sizes?

The die provides four fixed hole sizes — .042, .068, .255 and .324 in — covering both RG59 and RG6 hex crimp connectors.

How do I verify the crimp is correct after using the .255 in and .324 in holes?

Inspect the compressed connector for a uniform hex profile and measure the crimp height with a go/no-go gauge matched to the .255 in and .324 in cavities.
