Description

Panduit CT-980 Manual Hydraulic Crimping Tool

Overview

The Panduit CT-980 is a manual hydraulic crimping tool designed for terminating electrical wires and cables. It provides a reliable and consistent crimp, essential for ensuring the integrity of connections in power distribution, telecommunications, and industrial automation deployments. This tool is built for field service and installation where consistent, high-quality crimps are critical for system uptime.

Compatibility

This tool is engineered to work with Panduit's line of compression connectors, terminals, and splices. Specifically, it is designed for use with Panduit's yellow-coded copper compression connectors (e.g., LCC series) and other compatible Panduit wire termination products. Always verify connector specifications against the tool's crimping die capacity to ensure proper application.

Installation Notes

The CT-980 requires manual operation, applying hydraulic force to create a secure crimp. Users must ensure the correct die set is installed for the specific connector and wire gauge being terminated. Proper tool maintenance, including cleaning and lubrication, is recommended to maintain optimal performance and longevity. The tool's capacity is typically for wire sizes ranging from 8 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper conductors, depending on the specific die set used.
