Frequently asked questions
What is a crimping tool?
A crimping tool fixes a connector, such as an RJ45 or RJ11 modular plug, onto the end of a cable by squeezing it in place. The TRENDnet TC-CT68 crimps, strips and cuts cable for 8P/RJ-45 and 6P/RJ-12 and RJ-11 plugs, and the Connectix Cabling Systems 00A-003-001-11 is a universal crimp tool for RJ45 and RJ12 plugs. The Genie GAT005 crimps modular RJ45/RJ11 plugs, and the TRENDnet TC-FCT is a ratchet crimp tool.
Can a crimping tool also cut and strip the cable?
Yes, some crimping tools have a built-in cutter and stripper, so one tool cuts, strips and crimps the cable. The TRENDnet TC-CT68 crimps, strips and cuts cable for 8 and 6 position modular plugs, and it can cut and strip flat cable. Its ratchet mechanism keeps the tool closed when not in use.
What is a Krone tool?
It is a punch down tool with a Krone-style blade that inserts wires into IDC terminations, for example on the back of patch panels and modules. The Connectix Cabling Systems 00A-007-003-00 is a Krone style IDC punchdown tool for Connectix RJ45 patch panels and modules. The TRENDnet TC-PDT has 110 and Krone blades that are interchangeable and reversible, and it inserts and cuts terminations in one operation.
How is the blade changed on a 110 punch down tool?
The blade is released from its holder and swapped, and a twist and lock holder makes the change quick and stops the blade pulling out. The TRENDnet TC-PDT uses a twist and lock holder, and its precision blades are interchangeable and reversible between 110 and Krone. It also has storage for a spare blade, which helps prevent blade loss.
