RJ45 Crimp Tool Used forThis is an essential tool for anyone needing to cut, strip, crimp or fit 8P8C (8 Pole, 8 Connector) or RJ45 connectors to CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6 networking cable. Useful Features A razor sharp steel cutting blade makes cutting through cable easy, but its recessed design keeps fingertips intact. The heavy-duty vinyl grips keep the cutters stable and predictable during use, and a handy locking mechanism keeps everything compact and safe when the crimpers are in your toolbox. Directions The round cable stripper allows for even cutting of PVC insulation without damaging the cores inside, simply insert the cable into the round recess, squeeze the grips, and rotate the cable 360 degrees. The insulation should now slide away easily. Having removed enough insulation, separate the coloured wires within, and using one of the two wiring dia grams in the image above, lay the conductors out in order and push them into a connector and crimp. There is plenty of guides on the internet to help you do this process correctly. The wiring dia grams above can be used interchangeably without any issues, just remember to create Straight-Through cable (A to A or B to B) if You are connecting to a hub or router, and Cross-Over cable (A to B or B to A) if You are connecting one PC directly to another.
