Tools

Amphenol RF’s RF Tools collection provides engineers and technicians with the essential instruments needed to build, maintain and service coaxial cable assemblies with confidence. Our tools—including crimp tools, insertion/extraction tools and spanner nut wrenches—are designed to ensure proper connector termination, accurate contact engagement and secure panel mounting. They support consistent, high-quality performance in both lab and field environments.

Manufactured to match Amphenol RF connector and cable specifications, these tools deliver repeatable results and maintain signal integrity throughout installation and maintenance work. From micro-coax terminations to standard SMA and N-Type assemblies, each tool is optimized for the demands of high-frequency, high-reliability systems.
