How to Install the S6-56R-E Copper Compression Connector

Installation instructions for mounting and wiring the S6-56R-E copper compression connector.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Panduit CT-940CH Tool, Panduit CD-920 Dies, Panduit CD-940 DA Die adapter (if using CT-940CH tool with CD-920 dies)

Supplies needed:

S6-56R-E Copper Compression Connector, Copper Cable

  1. Prepare the cable

    Strip the copper cable to the appropriate length as specified by the connector's requirements. Ensure the stripped end is clean and free of burrs.

  2. Insert the cable into the connector

    Insert the stripped end of the copper cable fully into the S6-56R-E connector.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Using the specified Panduit crimping tool (CT-940CH with CD-920 dies and CD-940 DA adapter, or other compatible tool as per the tool chart), crimp the connector onto the cable. Ensure the tool is properly aligned and the crimp is complete according to the tool's instructions.

  4. Verify the connection

    Visually inspect the crimp to ensure it is secure and complete. If a multimeter is available, verify electrical continuity through the connection.
