Telemaster ratchet crimp tool, RJ-45 and RJ-11, cuts, strips and crimps - IDEAL 30-496-001

Terminating network and telephone cables calls for the same crimp result on every plug. The Telemaster 30-496-001 combines a cutter, a round stripping hole and crimp cavities for RJ-45 and RJ-11 in one tool. The ratchet only releases after a full stroke, so every plug is crimped the same way.

Benefits

• Ratchet mechanism closes the tool evenly for consistently high crimp quality
• Three steps in one tool: cut the cable, strip the jacket, crimp the plug
• Separate crimp cavities for RJ-45 and RJ-11
• Steel construction with two-component handles, net weight 322 g
• For twisted pair conductors

Applications

• Termination of network cables with RJ-45 plugs to T568A or T568B
• Telephone and signal lines with RJ-11 plugs
• Network installation in buildings, control cabinets and production lines
• Replacing damaged plugs during service and maintenance

Usage notes

• Use the round stripping hole to score about 2 in (approx. 50 mm) of jacket, bend the cable at the score mark and pull off the slug. Avoid cutting too deep or the twisted pairs may get nicked.
• Arrange the wires to T568A or T568B and trim them to 1/2 in (approx. 13 mm) of exposed length with the cutter.
• Insert the wires to the end of the plug with the tab side down. The cable jacket must reach past the primary crimp area.
• Recommended by the manufacturer: test the finished cable with a wiremap tester.
