A crimping tool is provided for connecting a modular plug connector with a telephone/data cable, and an axial connector with a coaxial cable, including a pair of operating arms pivotally connected intermediate their ends to define on opposite sides of the pivot axis a pair of operating end portions and a pair of crimping end portions, respectively, a pair of crimping dies being connected between the crimping end portions and containing first recesses for defining a first crimping chamber adjacent the end extremities of the crimping end portions, the adjacent surfaces of the crimping dies containing opposed second recesses cooperating to define a second crimping chamber arranged between the first crimping chamber and the pivot axis of the operating arms. One of the crimping dies is a support die for supporting the modular plug connector longitudinally of the associated crimping arm portion, and the other die is an actuating die having projections for displacing first and second strain relief devices into engagement with the insulation layers of the telephone/data cable and the exposed insulated conductors thereof, respectively. The adjacent surfaces of the dies contain opposed guide devices that cooperate to align the first recesses and the second recesses, respectively, during movement of the operating arms toward their closed crimping position.
