Ratcheting Crimper Frame for Voice and Data Cable
The Klein Tools VDV200-010 is a ratcheting crimper frame built for voice and data cable work. It accepts wire gauges from 10 to 22 AWG and strips insulation but does not cut. The frame ships without dies; compatible die sets are sold separately and include codes VDV201-040, VDV201-042, VDV205-035, VDV205-036, VDV205-039, VDV205-044, VDV211-037, VDV211-038, VDV211-041, VDV211-043 and VDV212-034. Rubber grips provide a secure hold during repetitive crimping tasks.
Capacity 10 to 22 AWG and Die Compatibility
This frame covers the 10 to 22 AWG range commonly found in voice and data installations. Without a die set installed it cannot terminate any connector, so the practical headroom depends entirely on which optional die set the user purchases. The ratchet mechanism ensures a full-cycle crimp once engaged, but the tool offers no adjustable crimp force or interchangeable jaws beyond the listed die codes. Users needing to crimp coaxial, fibre or power connectors will find the frame unsuitable.
California Proposition 65 Notice
The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. No states currently restrict sale of this item. The frame measures 8 3/4 inches overall and uses a fixed, non-adjustable ratchet action. Buyers who require an integrated cutter, adjustable crimp pressure or a kit that includes dies should consider other configurations.

Questions about this item
Will the 10-22 AWG capacity of this frame work with the die sets I already own for voice and data cable?
The frame accepts optional die sets VDV201-040, VDV201-042, VDV205-035, VDV205-036, VDV205-039, VDV205-044, VDV211-037, VDV211-038, VDV211-041, VDV211-043 and VDV212-034 for 10 to 22 AWG wire.
How do I know the ratchet mechanism is releasing at the correct force after I install a die set?
The ratchet releases only after the crimp reaches full cycle, ensuring consistent termination pressure on voice and data cable conductors.
Does the VDV200-010 include any die sets or must I purchase them separately?
Dies are sold separately; the frame ships without die sets and you must buy compatible sets such as VDV201-040 or VDV212-034 for your specific connectors.
