Product Description
Run the cable to your IP camera and you will hit the same job every time: the end needs a plug. The Pass-Through RJ45 Connector Crimp Tool (SKU EZ-Crimper-TLK-RJ45-LAN-Ethernet-Patch) handles it in one tool. It strips the outer jacket, cuts the cable and crimps, meaning squeezes the plug onto the wires so it grips and makes contact.
Check these before you buy
- Cable: CAT6A, CAT6, CAT5e and CAT5. The CAT number is the cable's category, printed on the cable jacket.
- Plugs: 8P8C modular plugs, which is the technical name for the standard RJ45 plug. Pass-through plugs are covered, and so are shielded and unshielded types.
- Functions: crimper, cutter and wire stripper in one body.
What "pass-through" changes
On a pass-through plug, the eight thin wires inside the cable slide right through the plug and come out the front. When you crimp, the excess length is trimmed automatically. The wires stay lined up, and each plug you make should finish the same way as the last.
Typical uses
- Plugs on CCTV IP camera cable runs
- Connections at an NVR (network video recorder)
- Patch panels and network switches
- Short patch leads made up to length
It suits installers and technicians, and it is just as workable for a homeowner or small business doing their own cabling. Pick plugs that match the category of cable you are terminating.
