Page 2: General Information
Connector Hand Tool Kit - DXE-UT-CRMP2 allowing you to prepare and crimp many styles of crimp-on connectors and coaxial cables. These specialized tools were designed by DX Engineering and made in the USA to make the task of preparing coaxial cable for crimp style connectors easy, fast and safer than older methods. The cutting blades are automatically aligned in the tools for repeated, precise cutting action. -

Warning The DX Engineering Coaxial Cable Stripping Tools for Crimp Style Connectors have four very sharp blades fixed in place to make the proper cuts in the coaxial cable. Take care to avoid touching the blades when working with these tools. They will cut your fingers. - Page 4 Connector/Tool/Coax Chart DXE-UT-405C-P1 DXE-UT-240C-P1 DXE-UT-405C-N1 DXE-UT-240C-N1 Dark Red Spruce Green Orange Fluorescent Green Coaxial Cable Preparation Tool for Crimp Connectors Connector Type PL-259 PL-259 Type N Type N DXE- AMP- AMP- DXE- AMP- AML- AMP- AMP- AML- PL259CS8U 182102 182130-10 PL259CS8X 182115-10 172102...
- Page 5 Using the Coaxial Cable Stripping Tools for Crimp Style Connectors The following examples show only two of the Coaxial Cable Stripping Tools for Crimp Style Connectors. The same method is used for all four of the tools. Coaxial Cable with foil and braid should only use crimp style connectors. This includes LMR-400 and DXE-400MAX coaxial cable.
- Page 6 Place the prepped coax cable into the other side of the pre tool that has the single blade. While gripping and firmly squeezing both the cable gripper and the tool pull the cutter off of the coaxial cable. This action puts a single length-wise slit in the coaxial cable jacket. Remove the two pieces of the coax jacket on the end to expose the center insulator.
- Page 7 Notes about Coaxial Cables Some coaxial cable has a foil shield between the braid and the dielectric such as DXE-400MAX and LMR-400. The DX Engineering foil is easy to remove while the LMR foil is bonded to the center dielectric.
- Page 8 Example Two: DXE-RG8X, LMR-240 and other similar sized coaxial cable Note: This example uses the GREEN tool. All of the tools use the similar technique shown. Make a clean cut using the CNL-911 Coaxial Cable Cutter. Once cut you can also use the CNL-911 to round out the end of the coaxial cable.

Page 9: Replacing The Cutting Blades
Remove the last cut piece of the jacket and slightly flare out the braid. Install the coaxial connector on the coaxial cable. Ensure the center conductor is straight and the connector is under the braid as shown below. Note: Some coaxial cables such as LMR-240 have a foil shield between the braid and the dielectric. See the “Notes About Coaxial Cables”... - Page 10 2. Using the small Phillips screwdriver, you can gently push the internal parts loose and remove the blade retainer parts from the tool. When the retainer parts and blades are laid out, it looks like the picture below. Note: Each of the retainer parts has a small square and number molded into the part for easier assembly.
- Page 11 Changing the cutting blade used for making the second cut on the coaxial cable 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the Phillips screw holding the single blade retention parts in place. 2. Using the small Phillips screwdriver, you can gently push the internal parts loose and remove the blade retainer parts from the tool.
- Page 12 The method described here uses a combination of two types of tape which not only protect your coaxial connection, but also allow easy removal for future maintenance. The two products, available from DX Engineering, used are: TES-2155 - 3M Temflex™ 2155 Rubber Splicing Tape.
- Page 13 The only tool you will need for this procedure is a pair of scissors. The following example uses two pieces of coaxial cable with PL-259 connectors that are joined together with a short UHF barrel connector. This same method may be used on any connection you are weatherproofing.
- Page 14 This is when you will be glad you used the above method and DX Engineering supplied products to put on the weatherproofing! A. Carefully cut the weatherproofing as shown. Be careful not to cut the coaxial cable, or your fingers.
