It uses a pressure-based mechanism to secure each wire into a compatible connector, breaking through the insulation to establish contact as it goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spring-loaded blade trims excess wire automatically during the punch-down action, so you get a clean termination in one movement. Built into the tool are a pull-out hook and blade, which let you remove existing wires from connectors and trim or strip new wires as needed. That covers the small jobs that come up mid-install without reaching for a second tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works with CAT3, CAT4, CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 network cables (known as network leads or patch cables in some setups) as well as CW1308 telecom cabling. At 180 x 32 x 26mm and just 55g, it sits comfortably in the hand and slips into a tool bag or pocket. It suits professional installers and anyone wiring their own sockets and panels at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180mm x 32mm x 26mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.06KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCutters \u0026amp; Strippers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich cables does this tool work with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits CAT3, CAT4, CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 network cables, plus CW1308 telecom cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it trim the wire as I terminate it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
