Factory and field assembly of electrical and optical interconnect harnesses requires an extensive array of specialized tooling: from wire cutters and strippers to contact termination tools, contact insertion and removal tools, connector holding tools, shield termination tools, circuit testers and more. For large applications, such as the avionics system cabling in a wide-body commercial jet, literally hundreds of unique tools are required to assemble, install and service the interconnect cabling.

And we are distributors for a wide range of additional tooling from the industry’s other leading manufacturers. In the United Kingdom, Italy, Germay, France and the Nordic region, Glenair has built a reputation for providing turnkey interconnect tool kits and tooling service programs.
