Abstract
Disclosed herein is a phone jack compression tool that includes a main body having a compression chamber that is configured for receiving an angled phone jack connector. The main body includes an opening under the compression chamber for accommodating the angled phone jack connector. The main body further includes a sliding body. The phone jack compression tool further includes a handle operably connected to the main body such that movement of the handle with respect to the main body causes the sliding body to move between an uncompressed position and a compressed position.
Claims21
A phone jack compression tool comprising:
- a main body having a compression chamber that is configured for receiving an angled phone jack connector, the main body having an opening on an under surface for accommodating the angled phone jack connector, the main body further including a sliding body;
- and
- a handle operably connected to the main body such that movement of the handle with respect to the main body causes the sliding body to move between an uncompressed position and a compressed position.
A phone jack compression tool comprising:
- a main body having a compression chamber, the compression chamber comprising a first receiving channel configured to receive a male phone jack connector and a second receiving channel configured to receive a female phone jack connector;
- and
- a handle movably connected to the main body such that movement of the handle with respect to the main body compresses the compression chamber such that a received phone jack connector is compressed.

- a main body having a compression means for compressing each of:
- a received right angle phone jack connector;
- a received 135 degree angle phone jack connector;
- a received straight-line male phone jack connector;
- and
- a received straight-line female phone jack connector;
- wherein the compressing of each connector comprises securing a cable to the connector.
A method of compressing a cable connector to fixedly attach a cable to the cable connector, the method comprising:
- providing a phone jack compression tool, the compression tool including:
- a main body having a compression chamber that is configured for receiving an angled phone jack connector, the main body having an opening on an under surface for accommodating the angled phone jack connector, the main body further including a sliding body;
- and
- a handle operably connected to the main body;
- moving the handle with respect to the main body;
- sliding the sliding body from an uncompressed position to a compressed position;
- and
- compressing the angled phone jack connector.
