Product Information

Full details

The ATEK RJ45 Pass-Through Crimp Tool is designed for network technicians and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, all-in-one solution for Ethernet cable termination. Its primary benefit is the pass-through design, which allows wires to extend through the connector for precise seating and faster assembly, though users must be careful to handle the precision blades with care to ensure long-term cutting performance.

FAQs

Does this tool work with standard RJ45 plugs?

This tool is specifically designed for pass-through RJ45 plugs. Standard plugs may not allow the wires to extend through for the automatic trim feature.

Can I use this for Cat6a cabling?

Yes, the ATEK crimp tool is compatible with Cat6a, Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 cabling.

What is the included mini yellow tool for?

The mini tool is a secondary cable stripper designed to remove the outer jacket of Ethernet cables without damaging the inner twisted pairs.

Where is the wiring guide located?

The wiring guide is conveniently printed directly onto the body of the tool for easy reference while terminating.

How do I replace the blade?

The tool includes a spare blade. You can access the blade assembly area to remove the dull blade and seat the replacement according to the tool's structural design.

Is this tool suitable for outdoor rugged environments?

While durable, it is a precision hand tool. Store it in a dry, safe place to prevent corrosion of the blades and hinge.

Troubleshooting

Excess wire is not cutting cleanly during crimping

Check if the blade is dull or damaged; replace it using the included spare blade.

Wires are slipping out of the plug before crimping

Ensure the cable jacket is stripped to the proper length and that you are using compatible pass-through connectors.

Tool handle is stuck or will not release

Ensure the safety locking mechanism is disengaged and check for debris in the crimping die.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces errors by allowing visual inspection of wire order before crimping
  • Streamlines the termination process by combining multiple tools into one
  • Compact and portable for field use
  • Includes essential spare parts like a replacement blade and a separate stripper

Cons

  • Requires proprietary pass-through RJ45 plugs for maximum effectiveness
  • Blades are sharp and require careful handling during maintenance
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial punch-down tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, always verify that your RJ45 plugs are specifically labeled as 'pass-through' connectors. The tool is calibrated for standard Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cabling.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Keep the hinge mechanism lightly lubricated if the movement becomes stiff.
  • Use the included spare blade if you notice the tool is failing to cut the excess wires cleanly.
  • Keep the tool locked using the integrated safety latch when not in use to protect the precision cutting edges.
  • Avoid using the crimper on non-RJ45 connectors, as this may damage the internal alignment and blade assembly.
