Product Information

A: That would be the Klein Tools VDV226-110 Cable Crimper. It is the best model for anybody who wants to deal with paired-conductor data cables. And because of that, we highly recommend this crimping tool from TRENDnet. It works like a charm with both ethernet cables and telephone cables. Using the least amount of unnecessary tools, the TRENDnet strikes once again with a sturdy and comfortable handle. The UbiGearCable tester can be used with RJ11, RJ12, and RJ45 connectors. Along with the regular crimper the kit includes a tester, a wire stripper, and 100 RJ45 CAT5 modular plugs. It includes a LED display to indicate if the wires are properly connected. It doesn’t come with any battery or charger. The tester is very specific and specialized. It can correspondingly test double twisted cables for all the 8 wires and ground. It can not only judge wrong connections but also short and open circuits. Unfortunately, not all crimping tools allow you to replace their parts. They can be hard to find or simply not worth the money. This TRENDnet TC-CT68 tool can perform crimping, cutting, and stripping, as well. The body of this crimping tool is made up of steel to make it sturdy. It can be used while working with telephone or Ethernet cables. The most prominent feature of this crimping tool is its ratchet mechanism that keeps the tool closed when not in use.

RJ45 crimpers with a sturdy build quality often tend to be on the heavier side. Handling heavy crimpers is not an easy task and it will lead to less precision, especially if you are a beginner. So, it is important to strike a balance between the durability and the weight of the crimper. Also, most crimpers have a large head with a relatively small handle that can make it difficult to handle. So, go with a small and compact RJ45 crimper that is also lightweight. For example, some of the crimping tools we went through before are pretty good if you want to use them for a home project. However, some of them might not be the best choice if you’re going to use them for larger projects. To remain at the very top, the Hiija EZ RJ45 features flawless steel, so that it can stay in great shape. And because of this excellent steel, you do have to bend the tool when you want an exceptional torque. Klein Tools crimper has an ergonomic grip and sturdy steel construction. It works well with flat-satin phone cables and round STP/UTP. The high-carbon steel crimping dies provide modular-crimp connector installation for data and voice applications.With compression crimping, it applies the force consistently from all directions. It’s also effective at preventing conductor damage. Compression crimping is the industry norm if you work with aluminum and copper cables. The vital thing aspect of compression crimping is to match the crimping dies with the materials and dimensions.

Without the right crimper, there is no way you can get the perfect torque effect. But with this crimping tool, torque is a lot easier than before. The IDEAL family of Feed-Thru products has expanded to include two new modular plug connectors.

The single piece Feed-Thru design simplifies the challenges faced when assembling and terminating twisted pair cables with larger diameter conductors, over 0.041”, when use of a standard in-line connector is not an option.
