How to use

Prepare the cable by cutting to length, then use the integrated stripper to remove the outer jacket to the required length. Arrange the conductors into the correct order for the chosen modular plug (e.g., T568A/T568B for RJ45). Insert the plug onto the cable and place the assembly into the crimping slot. Squeeze the handles firmly until the ratchet releases, ensuring a complete crimp. Use the cutting function to trim excess conductor ends if necessary.

Recommendations

For consistent results, verify conductor order before crimping and test the terminated cable with a cable tester. Store the tool in a dry place and avoid excessive force beyond normal crimping to prolong tool life.
