Ideal Industries 30-433 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the IDEAL 30-433 strip and crimp RG-6 coax, or just RG-59?
Both. The IDEAL 30-433 has form-ground stripping holes sized to take the outer jacket and insulation off RG-59 and RG-6 coaxial cable, so one tool covers the two cable types you see most on CATV, satellite and security runs.
2) Does this IDEAL coax tool crimp F-connectors, or do I need a separate crimper?
No separate crimper needed for standard F-connector work. The 30-433 carries three crimping nests that handle F-connectors and ring terminals, so you strip and crimp with the same tool.
3) Is the IDEAL 30-433 a compression tool for compression F-connectors?
No, and this is the one that gets ordered wrong. The 30-433 is a crimp tool with three crimping nests, intended for crimp-style F-connectors and ring terminals. Compression fittings (the sealed push-on type used on a lot of newer satellite and CATV work) need a dedicated compression tool instead. If your fittings slide over the jacket and are set by axial compression rather than a hex crimp, this is not the tool for them.
4) Can one tool do both coax F-connectors and low-voltage ring terminals on a security install?
Yes. Of the three crimping nests on the IDEAL 30-433, the set covers F-connectors and ring terminals, which is the combination an alarm or CCTV tech needs when terminating coax runs and landing ring terminals on panel screw terminals.
5) Will this tool cut copper-clad steel center conductors without wrecking the blades?
It is built for it. The 30-433 uses durable blades rated to cut copper-coated steel conductors, which is what the center conductor on most RG-6 is, so trimming the conductor flush after stripping will not chew up a soft blade.
6) What part number do I order for the IDEAL coax strip and crimp tool?
Order IDEAL Industries 30-433. That is the manufacturer part number and the tool ships as a single configuration, so there are no handing, size or finish options to specify.
