Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this kit include a cable tester?

No, this kit contains installation and termination tools only; it does not include a cable continuity tester.

Can I use this for Cat6 cabling?

Yes, the crimper and stripper are compatible with standard Cat5e and Cat6 twisted-pair cabling.

What is the difference between the 66 and 110 blades?

The 66 blade is typically used for older telephone cross-connect blocks, while the 110 blade is the standard for modern networking patch panels and jacks.

Are the connectors included shielded?

The kit includes standard modular plugs suitable for most UTP applications.

Is the storage case durable?

The kit features a high-quality zippered case designed to keep components secure and organized during transport.

Troubleshooting

Crimped plug does not connect to the device

Ensure the wires were pushed fully to the front of the plug before crimping and that the color code standard (T568A or T568B) is consistent on both ends.

Punch down tool not cutting excess wire

Check that the blade is set to the correct 'cut' side orientation and is properly locked into the punch down tool head.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers all basic network installation requirements in one kit
  • Highly portable and organized storage solution
  • Compatible with both telephony and Ethernet standards
  • Includes essential blades for common punch-down blocks

Cons

  • Not intended for high-frequency industrial cable production
  • Limited to copper-based network installations
  • Does not include an integrated cable tester

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your tools, store them in a cool, dry place within the provided zippered case to prevent rust or corrosion on the metal cutting surfaces. When using the crimping tool, ensure the connector is fully inserted into the die to prevent deformed pins. Compatibility is broad, covering standard 8P8C (RJ45) and 6P4C/6P6C (RJ11/RJ12) connectors used in most residential and small business environments. Periodically check the blades on the punch down tool for dullness; if they stop cutting the wire cleanly, ensure they are properly seated and clean of debris.
