Panduit CT-3001/STBT BlackFin Hydraulic Crimp Tool
Overview
The Panduit CT-3001/STBT is a 6.7-ton inline hydraulic crimp tool in the BlackFin™ series, engineered for high-integrity compression connector terminations in industrial electrical and data infrastructure installations. At 17 inches tall and 2.9 inches wide, this is a purpose-built field tool designed to handle demanding wire termination work where consistent crimping force — not hand fatigue or inconsistent manual effort — determines whether a connection holds up under load. If you're terminating Panduit compression connectors at scale in a panel shop, tray cable run, or structured wiring project, the CT-3001/STBT (often searched as CT 3001/STBT) is the tool specified for that connector family.
Panduit's BlackFin crimp tools are built around the principle that the connector and the tool are engineered together — die geometry, stroke, and tonnage are matched to the connector spec, eliminating guesswork about whether you've applied enough force for a gas-tight termination. The CT-3001/STBT fits squarely into that philosophy.
Key Features
- 6.7-Ton Hydraulic Crimping Force: Industrial-grade hydraulic mechanism delivers consistent, repeatable compression force on every termination cycle — no variation from one technician to the next, no reliance on grip strength. Critical when you're doing dozens of terminations on a single panel run and every connection needs to meet the same spec.
- BlackFin™ Sub-Brand Designation: The BlackFin line signals a tool engineered for compatibility with Panduit's wire termination connector catalog. Using the matched tool means die geometry aligns with connector barrel dimensions — the difference between a gas-tight crimp and one that fails continuity testing six months into service.
- Inline Configuration — 17
