Product Information
Full details
The Facom Crimping Pliers (985902) are designed for professional network technicians and electricians who require precise, reliable termination of RJ45 connectors for telephone and data networking tasks. These pliers provide consistent pressure for high-quality electrical connections, though they are specifically optimized for RJ45 connectors, meaning they lack the versatility to handle diverse connector types like coaxial or fiber optic cables.

FAQs
Can I use this tool for RJ11 connectors?
No, this tool is specifically designed for RJ45 connectors.
What is the primary material of the tool?
Facom uses high-durability industrial-grade steel for the crimping head to ensure longevity.
Does the tool include a wire cutter?
It is primarily a crimping tool; while it may handle light cable trimming, it is not a dedicated wire cutter.
How often should I oil the pivot point?
An occasional drop of light oil every few months or when the tool feels stiff is sufficient.
Is this tool suitable for shielded Cat6A cables?
Compatibility depends on the specific connector size; please ensure your connectors are standard RJ45 size.
Troubleshooting
Connector pins not fully seated
Ensure the cable is pushed all the way into the connector head before crimping.
Handle is difficult to squeeze
Check for debris inside the jaws or ensure the connector is correctly positioned in the die.
Crimped connection is loose
Verify the cable jacket is correctly stripped and the internal wires are aligned within the connector guides before applying final pressure.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Facom crimping tool, keep the crimping jaw free of debris and residual cable jacket insulation. Compatibility is limited to standard RJ45 (8P8C) connectors used in ethernet and telephone infrastructure. Always perform a test crimp on a sample cable if you are unsure about the connector seating. To care for the tool, occasionally apply a light machine oil to the pivot point to maintain smooth action and prevent rust. Avoid using the tool to cut heavy-gauge wire, as this can dull the precision blades and impact future crimping performance.
