Abstract

A cable connecting tool with a force plug for the mounting/compacting of a flat cable inserted in a plug-type connector. The invention provides a sliding table 4 with a cable-end stop, movable in a first direction from a first position into a second position under the force plug, and stored on a base plate 4; and a press insert 3 with a reception compartment for the plug-type connector, this press insert being movable with the sliding table and also on the sliding table in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and guide slots for the press insert such that it is moved into the second position towards the cable-end stop when the sliding table is moved, whereby a plug-type connector inserted in the reception compartment for the plug-type connector comes in direct contact with the cable-end stop in the second position.
