The crimping tool is a useful and flexible piece of equipment that may assist you in easily creating your network cables. It's a crimping tool that can connect RJ45, RJ12, and RJ11 connectors to paired conductor cables for voice and data applications. It can also precisely trim and strip cables in one motion for consistent, high-quality connections. The tool includes two crimping slots for modular plugs with 6 and 8 positions. It's composed of heat-treated carbon steel with a black oxide coating for extra strength and longevity. The ratchet action assures a secure and exact crimp every time. The equipment supports solid and stranded cables, common in network wiring. It can terminate telephone, fax, modem, and Ethernet connections using RJ11, RJ12, and RJ45 ports. The Dintek 6102-01002CH RJ12/45 Crimping Tool is simple to use and requires no specific skills or knowledge. Simply enter the cable into the stripper slot, push the handle to cut and strip the cable, insert the plug into the crimping slot, then squeeze the handle again to crimp the plug.
