Discover the Klein Tools VDV226-005, a revolutionary compact crimper that uses Pass-Thru™ technology to slash preparation time. This handy tool efficiently crimps and trims paired-conductor wires in CAT5e and CAT6 cables. With a wiring diagram right on the tool, it helps you avoid rework and waste less material. It's designed for use with Pass-Thru™ connector plugs, available in packs of 10, 50, or 200. This crimper can crimp Klein Tools' RJ45 Pass-Thru™ connectors and trim conductor wires in one swift step. It trims flush to the end face of the connector, preventing unwanted contact between conductors. The on-tool wiring guide minimizes wiring errors, making it a fast and reliable choice for installing connectors in data applications. Use it with Klein Tools Pass-Thru™ Connectors, but note it's not for standard (non Pass-Thru™) connectors. Replacement blades (Cat. No. VDV999-078) are also available. Made of steel with chrome, it has yellow and black handles, is 5.5 inches (139.7 mm) long, 1.75 inches (44.5 mm) wide, and weighs 0.61 lb (0.28 kg).
Using the Klein Tools VDV226-005 is easy. First, make sure you have the right Pass-Thru™ connector plugs for your CAT5e or CAT6 cables. Then, follow the wiring diagram on the tool to arrange the paired-conductor wires correctly. Insert the connector into the crimper and squeeze the handles firmly. The crimper will crimp the connector and trim the wires in one go. Remember, this tool is only for Pass-Thru™ connectors, so don't use it with standard ones. When it comes to maintenance, keep the tool clean and dry. If the blades get dull, you can replace them with the VDV999-078 replacement blades. Store the tool in a safe place to prevent any damage.
