Purpose and User
This Westward crimper is a hand tool for terminating coaxial and twisted-pair cables. It handles RG-6, RG-6Q and RJ-45 connectors in a single frame. The ratchet cutting action produces repeatable, solder-free joints for voice and data installations. Professional installers and maintenance teams use it for structured wiring and broadband drops.
Fit and Limits
The tool suits technicians who need one crimper for both coaxial and Ethernet connectors. It is not for installers who require interchangeable dies for other connector series. Users working with fibre-optic terminations or large-diameter coaxial cables will need separate equipment. The fixed die set cannot be swapped in the field.
Deciding Specification
The crimper accepts RG-6, RG-6Q and RJ-45 connectors only. This fixed compatibility determines whether the tool matches the cable types on the job. Verify the connector series before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 13H879 crimper work with my existing RG-6 and RG-6Q coaxial cable stock?
Yes, the tool is designed to strip and crimp both RG-6 and RG-6Q cables, so your current coaxial inventory is compatible.
How can I verify the ratchet mechanism on the 13H879 is functioning correctly after first use?
A proper crimp will show a uniform, secure compression on the RJ-45 or coaxial connector without damaging the cable insulation.
Does the 13H879 package include RJ-45 connectors or coaxial plugs, or must I buy them separately?
The crimper is sold as the tool only; connectors for RJ-45, RG-6 and RG-6Q must be purchased separately.
