Crimp Tool RJ11/RJ45 Ratchet

The DataPro 9991 crimp tool is for RJ45 and RJ11 type connectors, and is the simplest and most common method for terminating network and phone plugs. It's designed for any center-mounting RJ-style connector, including the oft-misnomered RJ11, RJ12, and RJ45 style connectors.

RJ11 and RJ12 are typically used for telephone and low-bandwidth data networks, while RJ45 is ubiquitous for ethernet and data-over-ethernet transfers. All of these connection types are best suited with Category wire—typically CAT3 or CAT5 for telephone systems and CAT5e or CAT6 for ethernet.

This crimp tool also can cut and strip cable for use in these connectors, so you won't need to pack around additional knives, trimmers, and strippers.
