Dual Compression Tool

The Jonard CTF-230 is a dual compression tool designed for electricians and installers who terminate coaxial cables. It handles F-type connectors on RG-6 and RG-59 cables and also works with RG-11 connectors. The tool suits professionals who need a single device for multiple connector lengths on residential or commercial jobs.

A2 Stainless Steel Construction

Built from A2 stainless steel, the tool resists corrosion during daily use in varied environments. Its clamshell handle provides a secure grip while the dual compression head engages both short and long F connectors without swapping dies. The mechanism aligns the connector squarely, reducing the chance of damaged shielding or incomplete crimps during repetitive installations.

Replaces Single-Size Crimpers

This tool replaces separate crimpers for short and long F connectors, cutting down the number of items carried on a service call. The upgrade is worth it when jobs regularly mix RG-6, RG-59 and RG-11 cable runs. Installers who only work with one cable size or connector style will not gain the same efficiency from the dual-head design.
