The Belden CCT-IT1000 installation tool is well constructed and functions flawlessly every time you pull it from your tool bag! To install a F connector, you insert the end of your coax cable into the the cutter side and rotate the tool around a couple times. Pulling off the cut outer jacket and the inner insulator will leave you with a perfectly stripped cable. Slide on a connector and use the IT1000 to easily compress and seal the connector onto the cable.
