The Times Microwave CCT-02 cable tool, which replaces the CCT-01 model, cuts any LMR cable in preparation for connector termination. The CCT-02 tool cuts more easily, provides a clean sharp cut without leaving any metal or plastic residue across the face of the dielectric and allows the cable to retain its shape without distorting its geometry thereby preventing any added return loss, which may be of particular concern especially at higher frequencies. The features of the CCT-02 tool include a safety locking mechanism to keep the tool positively closed until needed or when stored in a pouch and a streamlined design that allows it to fit more easily into a Times or other type of tool pouch. www.timesmicro.com
