All-In-One Cable Creator

Create professional-quality Ethernet cables with this Cat 8 crimping tool. It works with bulk cable and shielded pass-through connectors to build custom-length patch cables for home or commercial networks. The tool handles Cat5 through Cat8 standards plus RJ11 and RJ12 connectors.

Metal Frame With Adjustable Die

A durable metal frame provides long-lasting performance for IT professionals and DIY installers. An integrated wire cutter, stripper, and crimper combine three functions in one hand tool. An adjustable switch selects the crimp profile for connectors with or without a locking notch, and a built-in clip seats shielded dovetail clips.

Replaces Separate Cut Strip Crimp Tools

This single tool replaces a separate cutter, stripper, and crimper, reducing the number of items carried on a job. The pass-through design simplifies wire termination and cuts errors when compared with standard closed-end connectors. The jump is worth it for anyone who regularly builds custom patch cables and wants fewer tools in the bag.
