Description

Streamline Your Network Installs with the Ultimate Pass-Thru™ All-in-One Crimper

The Klein Tools VDV226110 is a premium, high-performance modular crimp-connector installation tool designed for professionals who demand speed and precision in voice and data applications. This versatile all-in-one tool allows you to cut, strip, and crimp STP/UTP paired-conductor data cables—including CAT3, CAT5e, and CAT6/6A—as well as flat-satin phone cables. Specifically optimized for Klein Tools RJ45 Pass-Thru™ technology, it significantly reduces preparation time by allowing conductors to pass through the connector before crimping, while the integrated wiring guide on the tool helps eliminate costly rework and wasted materials.

Engineered for durability and user comfort, this compact ratcheting crimper features a full-cycle ratchet mechanism that ensures complete connector termination every time. The tool is crafted from high-quality steel with a black oxide finish for long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance. To reduce hand strain during repetitive tasks, it is equipped with non-slip rubber comfort grips that provide a secure hold. Whether you are terminating 4, 6, or 8 position modular connectors, this tool delivers a clean, flush trim to the end face of the connector, eliminating unintended contact between conductors and ensuring a reliable network connection.

Pro-Tip: To ensure the best connection with Pass-Thru™ connectors, always check that the conductors are pulled tightly through the connector before crimping. This allows the tool to trim the excess wire perfectly flush, preventing the jacket from being pulled back and exposing internal conductors to interference.
