It works with CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6 and CAT7 cable and takes the standard RJ-45 (8P8C) connector, so it covers the connectors you are most likely to meet when making up or repairing network leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ratchet action is the part that makes it worth reaching for. The tool only releases once the handles have been fully squeezed together, which means there is no loss of pressure partway through and you get a uniform crimp every time. That takes the guesswork out of terminating cable, whether you are wiring a home office point or making up a batch of patch leads. The vinyl handle grips give a comfortable hold across repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 185mm long and 212g, it is light, compact and easy to keep in a tool bag. The body is durable enough for regular work without being bulky. If you look after your own cabling or make up custom lengths, this covers the three main tasks in one tool: strip the outer jacket, trim the conductors to length and crimp the connector home. Note that some regions call this an RJ45 crimper or a modular plug crimping tool, but the function is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e185mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.21KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePliers \u0026amp; Wrenches\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\u003eWhat cable types does this tool work with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt handles CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6 and CAT7 network cable for cutting, stripping and crimping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich connectors does it crimp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt crimps standard RJ-45 (8P8C) connectors onto the cable ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the ratchet action do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt only releases once the handles are fully squeezed together, so there is no loss of pressure and you get a uniform crimp every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it strip cable as well as crimp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
