It’s an essential piece of equipment for assembling and maintaining Ethernet and telephone networks.

Key Features and Versatility:

• Multi-Function Design: Specifically engineered for pass-through style connectors, this tool lets you crimp the connector and precisely trim any excess wire in a single step, ensuring a clean and reliable termination.
• Integrated Dovetail Crimper: It also includes a function to crimp the dovetail clip, making it perfect for working simultaneously with modular plugs that feature both a feed-thru design and a dovetail clip.
• High Precision: Features a high-standard precision crimping and grinding port that securely fixes modular plugs, preventing cables from coming loose after termination.

Compatibility and Ease of Use:

• Wide Compatibility: This crimper handles various networking standards, including standard CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, shielded CAT7, as well as RJ45 (8P8C) for Ethernet and RJ11/RJ12 (6P6C, 4P4C) for telephone cables.
• Compact & Efficient: Much smaller than traditional crimpers, it's approximately two-thirds the size, offering greater convenience without sacrificing performance. It’s a top-ranked, budget-friendly solution for your network needs.

Tool Components and Functions:

1. Lock Button: Securely stores the tool when not in use.
2. Regulating Screw: Allows you to adjust for different cable thickness/standards (specifically for Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7).
3. 8P8C, RJ45 Port: For crimping standard Ethernet connectors.
4. 6P6C, 4P4C, RJ11, RJ12 Port: For crimping telephone cable connectors.
5. Dovetail Clip Crimper: For securing modular plugs with a clip.

Simple RJ45 Cable Assembly Guide:

1. Place your cable into the included wire stripper.
2. Rotate the mini stripper around the cable to safely remove the outer jacket.
3. Arrange the wires into the load bar according to the required color order (T568A or T568B) and use the tool to cut them horizontally for a neat finish.
4. Insert the prepared wires and load bar into the connector plug.
5. Unlock the tool by releasing the lock button on the back.
6. Adjust the regulating screw (if working with Cat7, otherwise ignore for RJ11/RJ12).
7. Place the connector plug into the appropriate crimping port and firmly squeeze the handle to crimp the plug.
8. For plugs with a dovetail clip, gently press the clip towards the middle and use the specialized dovetail clamp to secure it.
