What is cable crimps?

Cable crimps are small metal components used to attach and terminate wires or cables. They are commonly used in electrical and telecommunications applications. A cable crimp is typically made of copper, aluminum, or a similar metal, and is designed to fit over the end of a wire or cable and form a secure connection when crimped using a specialized tool. Crimping is a process by which the cable is compressed around the crimp using an appropriate tool to protect the cable conductor against damage and maintain the electrical continuity between the cable and connector. Cable crimps come in various sizes and shapes, and each type is designed to fit a specific wire or cable gauge. Cable crimps come in different types and versions which includes straight butt connectors, tap connectors, splice connectors, ring tongue terminals, hook terminals, and fork terminals. The use of cable crimps helps ensure a secure and reliable connection between wires or cables.
