Tools that helps to undo ring nut for a data connector

[zillah]

Dear folk

Currently I am using long nose pliers to undo those rings that holding a data connectors in place.

Since a space is confined and most of the time is congested with adjacent connectors and sometime those rings are hard (need to use small screw and gentle hammering) to undo them as it has been touch for a long.

They make F connector removal tools. Holland Electronics has some interesting looking tools.

Don't think those are F connectors...

Do you have the name of those data connectors?... I definitely have seen the tool for that... just can't seem to look it up without the connector name.

I actually think I have that tool but my network toolbox is on loan with a nephew...

Looks kinda like a TNC jack.

Disregard ... missed some pics.

A small set of Knipex Cobra's would seem to be suited for the job.

Looks like "DIN 1.6/5.6"

You need a tool for the nut on the bulkhead?

Looks like they have M9 thread, so a pin spanner kind of socket that will clear 9mm should work

and then you need a tool that matches that looks something like this:

Normally I'd not have any trouble finding tools for connectors, but I'm not having luck on this one. I guess try germans, it's a german connector not used here I don't think.

Good job. I was gonna suggest making one from a deep socket and using a grinder.

That's the one I got. Amazon sells them for a bit over $100...

I thought too at first, but I don't think so now.

HD-bnc is 1/4-36 thread, a lot smaller than M9, if it is DIN 1.6/5.6 like I think. So wrong tool if I'm right.

(also it is $60).

Same thing I’d do. Cut a slot in case there is a cable attached if needed
