Why Choose the Partex CEFT2 Cord End Ferrule Crimp Tool?
The Partex CEFT2 is a professional cord end ferrule crimping tool designed for terminating insulated and compatible uninsulated bootlace ferrules on flexible stranded electrical conductors. With a specified 4-16 mm² crimping range, it is a practical choice for electrical control panel assembly, industrial machinery wiring and electrical installation work.
Designed for use with appropriately sized cord end ferrules, the CEFT2 helps electricians and panel builders create neat, consistent conductor terminations. Crimping compresses the ferrule sleeve around the stripped conductor strands, helping to prevent stray wires and preparing the conductor for insertion into compatible electrical terminals.
The Partex CEFT2 ferrule crimp tool is particularly useful when working with medium to larger control and power conductors. Its 4-16 mm² capacity makes it suitable for a range of professional electrical applications, including control cabinets, switchgear, machinery installations and maintenance tasks where correctly crimped ferrule connections are required.

Professional Ferrule Crimping for Electrical Panel Wiring
Flexible stranded copper conductors are widely used in electrical control cabinets, industrial automation equipment and machinery installations. Before these conductors are connected to certain terminal blocks, a correctly sized cord end ferrule can be fitted to contain the individual strands and create a compact termination. The Partex CEFT2 crimping tool is designed to compress compatible ferrules onto conductors within its 4-16 mm² operating range.
To prepare a connection, the conductor should be stripped to the length required by the selected ferrule. The exposed strands are inserted fully into the ferrule sleeve before the assembly is positioned in the appropriate crimping area of the tool. Applying the correct crimping action compresses the sleeve around the conductor, helping to create a secure mechanical termination.
Using the correct ferrule size and crimping tool is important for achieving consistent results. A ferrule that is too large or too small may not form a satisfactory connection, while an incorrectly crimped termination can compromise the quality of the electrical installation. The CEFT2 should therefore be used only with ferrules and conductor sizes supported by its specified range.
The completed ferrule termination must also be compatible with the receiving terminal. Electricians and panel builders should follow the relevant ferrule, crimping tool and terminal manufacturers' instructions, including any requirements for conductor preparation, crimp inspection and terminal tightening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex CEFT2 used for?
The Partex CEFT2 is a cord end ferrule crimping tool used to compress compatible bootlace ferrules onto flexible stranded electrical conductors. It helps produce neat conductor terminations for use with suitable electrical terminals.
What is the crimping range of the Partex CEFT2?
The Partex CEFT2 has a specified crimping range of 4-16 mm². Ferrules and conductors should be selected within this range and checked for compatibility with the tool.
Can the CEFT2 crimp 4 mm² cord end ferrules?
Yes. 4 mm² is the lower end of the CEFT2's specified crimping range, making it suitable for compatible 4 mm² cord end ferrules.
Can the Partex CEFT2 crimp 16 mm² ferrules?
Yes. The CEFT2 is specified for ferrules up to 16 mm², provided the selected ferrule is compatible with the tool.
Can the CEFT2 be used with 2.5 mm² ferrules?
No. The stated crimping range begins at 4 mm², so a separate ferrule crimping tool with a suitable range should be used for 2.5 mm² terminations.
Is the CEFT2 suitable for electrical control panel wiring?
Yes. The CEFT2 is suitable for preparing compatible ferrule terminations in electrical control panels, machinery wiring and industrial equipment where 4-16 mm² flexible stranded conductors are used.
Does the CEFT2 replace the need for a cord end ferrule?
No. The CEFT2 is the crimping tool, not the ferrule itself. A correctly sized cord end ferrule is fitted to the stripped conductor and then compressed using the tool.
What should be checked before crimping a ferrule with the CEFT2?
Check that the conductor and ferrule sizes are compatible, that the ferrule is within the tool's 4-16 mm² range, and that the finished termination will fit the receiving terminal. Follow the relevant manufacturers' installation instructions.
