A termination tool for holding cross-connect connectors, as used in telecommunications systems, while inserting conductors into the back edge of the connector, is adapted to be releasably mounted on the support member on to which the connectors are eventually mounted. The tool, of open frame form, having spaced sides, back member and a rotatable front member, has formations at the back ends of the side members which engage with the support member. A connector is inserted in a slot extending along the front member with a back edge facing forward. The conductors can be inserted, a retainer snapped over the back edge of the connector, the rotatable member rotated approximately 90 DEG to bring the back edge of the connector and the retainer facing upwards, and then the connector and retainer removed from the tool and mounted on the support member.
