5" Locking Terminator Tool (TTCG-6270-5)

Ships direct from the manufacturer. Please allow up to 10 business days, though it often ships sooner.

A locking terminator on a tap port is there so a subscriber can't remove it, which means a technician can't either without the tool that matches the lock. The Jonard Tools TTCG-6270-5 is the 5 in locking terminator tool for Corning Gilbert cam-style terminators: its cam tip engages the Gilbert NS-5762-3, NS-5762-9, NS-5762-11, NS-5762-13, and NS-5762-15 terminators and other similar types, so a port can be terminated or opened for a connect in one turn. The tool is anodized aluminum for long life and a quarter pound in the pouch, and the compact 5 in length gets to a port on a crowded tap or in a locked pedestal where a longer tool won't fit. The tip is 1/4 in (6.35 mm) across.

Features

• Cam-style locking terminator tip. Made for Corning Gilbert style terminators.
• Gilbert NS-5762 series. Works on NS-5762-3, NS-5762-9, NS-5762-11, NS-5762-13, and NS-5762-15 terminators, and similar types.
• Anodized aluminum. High-quality construction for durability and a long life.
• Compact 5 in length. Works in tight spaces around a tap or inside a pedestal.

Where It Fits

It suits CATV and broadband technicians doing connects and disconnects at taps secured with Gilbert locking terminators, audit and theft-of-service crews terminating unauthorized ports, MDU technicians working lock boxes and enclosures where the port is a hand's width from the wall, contractors whose operator specs Gilbert NS-5762 terminators and issues the tool to match, anyone who has arrived at a locked tap with the wrong terminator tool, and a pouch that carries a locking terminator tool for each terminator type on the plant. For other terminator and tap-port tools, see the Jonard terminator tools in the same category.

Good to Know

Locking terminators are access control for the operator's plant, and the tool is for technicians authorized to open and secure those ports; carry it on the strength of the work order. Match the terminator before you reach for the tool: the NS-5762 series is the cam style this tool fits, and a terminator from another maker or a different Gilbert series may look similar and not engage, in which case forcing the cam rounds the lock and leaves a port that can't be opened by anyone. Seat the tip fully on the terminator, turn to lock or unlock, and lift straight off; the tool turns the terminator and isn't a wrench for the port itself. Put the terminator back on every port you open and don't leave terminated, since an open tap port is both a leak and an invitation. Anodized aluminum is light and won't rust, but it's softer than a steel terminator, so the tip wears before the terminator does; a tool that starts to slip on a known-good terminator is due for replacement. Tap ports on a powered plant can be live; check before working at the tap.
