The IDEAL Electrical 85069 RG6 F-Type Tool-Less Compression Connector, Gray requires no compression tool. These connectors feature a sliding, locking post design to capture and secure the cable inside of the connector. After the cable is inserted, tightening the connector to the device completes assembly process, creating a 360° compression point and a permanent connection. Unlike twist-on connectors that deform the cable jacket, the TLC goes on easy, does not require twisting and has the benefits of a traditional full radial compression connector that does not deform the cable from its designed round shape.
