Abstract
A frame assembly for a compression tool, including a fitting configured to mount to the compression tool and receive a ram member thereof through a bore of the fitting; and a pair of interlocking jaws pivotally mounted to the fitting about a pair of non-coincident axes. The interlocking jaws are configured to at least partially envelop an annular compression ring while aligning the conductors of a coaxial cable with an axis of the cable connector. The ram member of the compression tool is activated to translate axially along the axis of the cable connector thereby mitigating misalignment of the compression ring as the ring engages the connector body.
