Compact RJ45 Crimper Kit
This Klein Tools kit centres on a pass-through RJ45 crimper that strips, cuts and terminates CAT7, CAT6A, CAT6, CAT5E and CAT5 cables in a single tool. The frame is roughly two-thirds the size of traditional crimpers and weighs about one-third as much, so it can be operated with one hand and locked shut for transport. A screwdriver-adjustable mode switch selects between CAT7 shielded or pass-through connectors and standard CAT5-style plugs. Two replacement blades are included.
Ideal for field installs; not for bench automation
Technicians running drops in tight ceilings or service vans will appreciate the compact, one-handed action and the ability to handle shielded pass-through plugs without a second tool. Installers who need high-volume, repeatable terminations on a bench should look at a dedicated hydraulic or ratcheting press, because this kit relies on manual leverage and a screwdriver mode change for each cable type.
Fits in a tool pouch; frees up bench space
The crimper accepts standard and pass-through RJ45, RJ11 and RJ12 connectors across the listed cable categories, so a single tool replaces separate strippers, cutters and crimp frames. Its locking handle keeps the jaws closed inside a pouch, and the included spare blades extend service life without extra inventory. No external power or specialised dies are required.

Questions about this item
What cable types must I already have to use the CAT7 Kit 08 crimper?
The crimper works with CAT7, CAT6A, CAT6, CAT5E and CAT5 cables, so you need one of those cable types on hand.
Will the tool crimp the older standard RJ45 connectors I already own?
Yes, it handles both standard and pass-through RJ45, RJ11 and RJ12 connectors, so existing standard connectors are compatible.
How can I verify the crimper is set correctly for CAT7 after I switch modes?
Use a screwdriver to adjust the compression mode to the CAT7 setting and engage the dovetail clamping port; the connector will be held firmly without cable slip.
