RJ45 Crimp Tool Ethernet Crimper for RJ45 Cat6 Cat5 Cat5e Pass Through Connectors and RJ12 Plug Ends with 50PCS Cat6 Connectors, Ethernet Cable Tester and Mini Wire Stripper

I decided to build a simple home network to support the 1Gbt net connection coming into my home. I wired a switch and 5 connections including a wireless extender so I had both wired and wireless coverage. This kit was all that I needed to make my own patch cables. The crimper is a solid tool with the ability to crimp regular and pass-through connectors. All of the other pieces did the job. The two part tester did a flawless job of checking continuity. The stripper was easy to use. Be sure to buy Cat 6 RJ 45 connectors If using Cat 6 cable. Learning the knack of putting the RJ45 on was the biggest challenge I ran into. Buy the pass through connectors from amazon as they are not usually found in stores.. I was pleasantly surprised by this kit. The stripper and the tester looked cheap but both worked flawlessly. I used a wire cutter for cutting cable but utility scissors will do. Tips: Plan your network and make a diagram before doing anything else. Measure twice, add some extra, cut once... Buy extra Ethernet cable and add about 20% more to each run. Cable is cheap and having extra allows you to change the location of a device if needed. Re check your cable connections before fastening cable to joists I used a 3/4 inch spade bit to drill holes for Cat 6 cables. Three cables with shields can be run through that diameter. Use Cat 6 cable for home networks. Cat 7 is more expensive to install and doesn’t offer a significant benefit over Cat 6. Be aware that cable comes in different diameters. Make sure that your cable end shields And your RJ 45 connectors.will fit on the cable being used. Cat 6 cable is usually either 23 awg or 24 awg. The smaller number means the cable is thicker. Buy network supplies on line. I was able buy 250 feet of Cat 6, this kit and all of the other parts needed for my network for about $125.

For the price, it's a nice, economical package. The crimper tool cut, stripped, and trimmed the wire and crimped the connector. The ratchet on the crimper let me know just when I'd applied enough force to ensure a solid connection. My 40-meter (132 feet). run tops out at 1 gigabit with flawless data transfer. The cable is unshielded, CAT 5e, 24 AWG solid copper. No home network that relies on CAT cables should be without this package!

Super easy to use. Tons of options.

Made up RJ45 connectors no problem. Ok, one problem, I forgot to put the rubber sleeve protector on the wire before I b made up the end, remembered the other end though

The kit has 50 pass-through connectors and 50 boots so you can dive into your LAN wiring upgrade upon receipt of the product. I like this style of crimping tool because it has a longer arm and a rachet; you know when to stop pressing it further. Beware the kit does not come with spare blades for the pass-through crimping slot; I am holding back one star.

Great product, works well and easy to use!! Thanks for fast Promt service as well! 👍

Is 'ite!

This crimper far exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy,strong comfortable to use and a complete all in one. I needed this to put together some heat tape for my reptiles and it made life so much easier, the fact that it comes with the exact attachments for placing the wires to the heat tape was a major win for me. I like to do projects on my own without asking my husband for help,it is a must have for every network repair tool collection and definitely worth the money. There is no cheap junk feel to it and it gets the job done with minimal effort.

Good quality for the price. Would recommend.
