Ideal Industries 33-632 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ideal LinearX 3 compression tool work on F, BNC, and RCA connectors, or do I need a separate tool for each?
One tool covers all three. The LinearX 3 (model 33-632) compresses F, BNC, and RCA compression connectors, so a cable installer doing CATV drops, CCTV camera runs, and A/V terminations carries one tool instead of three. BNC work needs a quick post adjustment first; F and RCA run off the same chamber.
2) Do I need loose adapters or inserts with the LinearX 3, like some compression tools require?
No. The adjustable post design on the LinearX 3 is what replaces the adapter set, so there are no small loose pieces to lose in a crawlspace or on a lift. You set the post for the connector type and compress.
3) Can I use the Ideal 33-632 for BNC ends on surveillance camera coax?
Yes, BNC compression connectors are one of the three types it handles, and security system wiring for surveillance cameras is a named application. Adjust the post setting for BNC before you compress, then check compression depth on the first end before you run the rest of the cameras.
4) Does this tool strip or cut the coax, or only compress the connector?
Compression only. The LinearX 3 seats and compresses F, BNC, and RCA fittings onto cable that has already been prepped, so you still need a coax stripper and a cutter to finish the kit for a full termination.
5) What is the Ideal part number to order for the LinearX 3 compression tool?
Order Ideal Industries model 33-632. That's the single model the LinearX 3 compression tool is sold under, so there are no size or finish variations to pick between.
6) What is the correct order of operations when compressing a connector with this tool?
Verify the connector type matches the cable, set the post if you're doing BNC, seat the prepared cable and connector in the compression chamber, squeeze with steady pressure, then confirm compression depth and test continuity before you close up the wall or terminate the next end. Skipping the depth check is what produces intermittent signal later.
7) Is the Ideal LinearX 3 small enough to carry in a tool pouch for service calls?
It's built as a compact, hand-held compression tool for field portability, so it travels in a pouch or bag rather than living on a bench. That matters for MRO and property maintenance techs chasing cable faults across a property.
