VCELINK RJ45 Crimp Tool, All-In-One Ethernet Pass Through Crimper for CAT7 CAT6A CAT6 CAT5e CAT5 Ethernet Connectors by Screw Adjustment, RJ45 and RJ11/RJ12 Crimping Tool with Mini Stripper

This is an excellent crimping tool. Has good weight and sturdiness and gets the job done right every single time. I don't see how you could go wrong.

This crimp tool is excellent! Solid build, comfortable grip, and works perfectly for pass-through connectors. Cuts, strips, and crimps all in one—makes cable work quick and hassle-free. A must-have for anyone doing network installs.

I initially bought these because I saw they had a strain relief crimping section for crimping strain relief tabs on cat6a/cat7 cables. The RJ45 crimping part works great for crimping through-hole cat6a and cat7 cable connectors. It usually trims the ends of the through-hole jacks cleanly in one or 2 passes, tops. The strain relief crimping section however, never seems to line up correctly (at least for fatter cat6a & cat7 cables). With cat6a+, you end up having to "pre-crimp" the strain relief tabs around the cable, then clock the cable in the crimper in such a way that it is offset in the die in which it was designed to sit when crimping. If you just let the connector sit in the strain relief crimping die the way it was intended to be used, and squeeze, it smashes the tabs flat on the side of the cable, and not around the cable the way they were intended to be crimped. That's why I gave 4 starts instead of 5. They do work well once you get the hang of how you have to hold them for crimping big cable strain reliefs, and that is my only gripe about them.

This is one of my favorite tools for redoing the Cat5e cables in my new home. Upgrading to Cat6a and this tool makes my life so much easier. The number of built-in features makes it a very handy, easy-to-use tool. The quality is solid, and it fits in my hand great.

I was surprised to find it works well on not just pass through connectors but on conventional closed end connectors for CAT6, CAT5E. I had to terminate an outdoor Access Point run at a hospital. It uses a shielded CAT6 with UV resistant cover, which is always a bear to terminate with a pass-through Rj45 supplied by the cable supplier. The tool worked great. The vendor supplied silicone rubber clear gue to place at the end of connector before sliding on boot to seal the connection required at each end to prevent water vapor from entering the cable run. I had to make a patch cable inside with conventional cable, I found the tool can terminate non-pass-through connectors easily. I probably use 100 connectors a month. I always use CAT6 for 10G on runs less than 40 feet except where bundle with 50 or more. 10G always use CAT7 shielded on >100 foot runs, and on any bundle run. I also charge 5 times cost for termination because it takes a long time to terminate CAT7 compared to CAT5E. Surprised the inexpensive tool works well in all situations.

This product is not good for Cat8 cable. I managed to get my first cable to work (two connections) but after that it was too dull and kept causing poor connections via shorts. I ended up having to get a Klein for about $50.

For the VCELink Crimping Tool itself, after the first use (and having learned to ensure the plug is fully and "firmly" inserted into the crimp plug-hole to achieve good cutting every time) ... the tool is excellent. The only let down was the 'Pass Through connector plugs' in which I am experiencing 60/40 good vs not-so-good with the pass-through holes on 60% of the plugs being "V.G." (with the wires going through first time), but with 40% of the plugs the pass-through holes seem to be very tight and at times even difficult to get through. Before my first use of a "Pass Through" crimping tool I have not ever used the small plastic guide plug, but with this (given the tightness of the Pass-through holes) it seems to be essential. But overall = Very Good (with the crimping tool itself being excellent).

I am using this tool on cat 6a cable. By nature the cable is more ridgid and harder to manipulate but thre crimping tool works great once you are able to line things up.

I used it couple of times and worked like a dream. Color and built quality is undoubtedly of next level💪

Muy buenas pinzas cortan bien chido y quedan muy bien ponchados

Thanks
