Cable Crimper Fixpoint 11790

The Fixpoint 11790 cable crimper is a handheld tool designed for precise crimping of connectors onto network and communications cables. Built with a durable metal head and a blue ergonomic handle, the tool provides controlled crimping force and an automatic stop mechanism to prevent over-crimping. A release function allows the tool to be opened safely if a connector becomes stuck. Supplied in a blister pack, the crimper is intended for single-piece retail packaging and is suitable for both professional installers and home DIY users who require reliable cable terminations.

Advantages

The automatic stop ensures consistent, repeatable crimps and reduces the risk of damaging connectors or cable conductors. An integrated release function improves safety and handling when a connector does not seat correctly. The ergonomic blue handle is shaped for comfort during repetitive use and gives secure grip, while the robust construction supports long-term durability under regular use.

Suitable for

• Crimping RJ45 connectors on Ethernet cables
• Terminating RJ11/RJ12 telephone cables
• General network and low-voltage communications cable work
• Field service, onsite installations, and home networking projects

Key specifications

• Tool type: handheld cable crimper for modular connectors
• Handle: ergonomic, blue-coloured grip for comfortable use
• Mechanism: automatic stop to limit crimp travel and force
• Safety feature: manual release function to free stuck connectors
• Construction: durable metal crimping head with reinforced handle joint
• Packaging: single-piece blister pack

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket and arranging the conductors according to the connector pinout. Insert the connector onto the cable until it seats fully. Place the connector into the crimper die and squeeze the handles until the automatic stop engages; this delivers the correct crimp pressure. If the connector does not seat properly or becomes stuck, use the release function to open the tool and remove the connector safely. Inspect the crimped connection visually and, if required, test continuity with a cable tester.

Recommendations

For consistent results, use the crimper with compatible modular connectors and cables of the intended type and diameter. Avoid excessive force beyond the automatic stop. Store the tool in a dry place and periodically check the crimping dies for wear; replace the tool if crimp quality deteriorates.
