Delcast CP-8A RJ-45 Crimping Pliers
The Delcast CP-8A is a multifunction hand tool that crimps, cuts and strips network cables in a single step. It is built for technicians and installers who terminate CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 cables with RJ-45 plugs on site or at a bench.
Best for field termination and bench work
Installers who need one tool to prepare and terminate twisted-pair cables will find the integrated stripper and cutter convenient. Buyers who require automatic ratchet crimping, interchangeable dies for coaxial or fibre connectors, or a dedicated punch-down tool for keystone jacks should look at something else.
Fits in a tool belt or service kit
The pliers combine three functions so fewer individual tools are carried to the job. Durable steel construction and comfort grip handles withstand repeated use while the built-in stripper and cutter free up pocket space for testers, connectors or a cable reel.

Questions about this item
What cable types do I need to have on hand for the Delcast CP-8A to crimp?
The tool is designed for CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 network cables terminated with RJ-45 plugs.
Can I still use my existing punch-down tool for wall jacks while using this crimper for patch cables?
Yes, the CP-8A handles only the modular plug end; a separate punch-down tool remains necessary for keystone jacks and patch panels.
How do I verify the crimp is solid after I squeeze the handles?
Inspect the connector so every gold pin is fully seated and the outer jacket is gripped by the strain-relief tab, then test continuity with a cable tester.
