Cromwell, CT – Ripley Company’s Cablematic division is pleased to introduce the new LWC Compression Assembly Tool that is designed to assemble 6 and 59 low compression force connectors from multiple manufacturers.
The LWC is made from lightweight, impact resistant, high visibility yellow polymer. Its spring-loaded split jaws position the cable and connector for easy insertion and removal. The compact design of the LWC allows for easy use in and around wall boxes where space and cable may be limited.
The LWC consistently assembles the low compression force UltraEase™ connectors from Corning Gilbert, the SNS1P series from Thomas & Betts and the SLC series from Holland. The LWC is fully insulated with use of all polymer components. The LWC-1 adds the ability to assemble PPC-CMP Mini connectors with the addition of a magnetic adapter that is stored in the tool handle when not in use. When using the adapter the LWC-1 is not fully insulated. Both tools are factory preset and calibrated and are non-adjustable.
