The KLEIN Ratcheting Ethernet Cable Crimper (KL-VDV226-110) is a premium, all-in-one tool designed specifically for Pass-Thru™ RJ45 connectors and standard RJ11/RJ12 connectors. This tool significantly reduces preparation time by cutting, stripping, and crimping paired-conductor cables (STP/UTP) in a single tool. The Pass-Thru™ technology allows wires to pass through the connector, where the tool automatically trims them flush to the end face, eliminating unintended contact and saving materials.
Built for durability, it features a steel body with a black oxide finish and ergonomic rubber grips for comfort. The full-cycle ratchet mechanism ensures complete connector termination every time, preventing the release of the connector prior to full compression. An on-tool wiring guide helps minimize errors, making it the ideal tool for installing CAT3, CAT5e, and CAT6/6A cables. Note: For RJ45, use with Klein Tools Pass-Thru™ Connectors only.
