Klein Tools Ratcheting Ethernet Wire Crimper / Stripper / Cutter, for Pass-Thru

The Klein Tools VDV226-110 compact modular crimping tool with Pass-Thru connector technology is designed for professional telecommunications and data network installations. This all-in-one tool precisely cuts, strips, and crimps paired conductor data cables, featuring an integrated cable guide system to minimize wiring errors and significantly reduce setup time. The Pass-Thru connector technology allows conductors to be fully inserted through the connector before crimping, ensuring correct alignment and preventing accidental conductor contact. The high-temperature resistant cutting blade offers durability with a capacity of over 2000 cuts, while the complete ratcheting mechanism ensures full conductor terminations with consistent crimp pressure. This crimping tool accommodates modular connectors with 4, 6, and 8 positions, is compatible with RJ11/RJ12 standard connectors, and is specifically designed for Klein Tools RJ45 Pass-Thru connectors. The tool is not compatible with standard non-Pass-Thru connectors. Cable parameters include 28-22 AWG flat or round solid or stranded telephone and data cables. Ergonomic features include a rubberized grip for user comfort during extended use and a ratcheting locking mechanism for secure operation. The compact design measures approximately 23 cm in length and weighs 450 g, making it suitable for field technicians and network installers who need reliable termination tools. The black and yellow color scheme provides high visibility in tool bags and work environments. This tool represents the successor to previous modular crimping tools, with improved ergonomics and proprietary Pass-Thru technology for enhanced termination reliability in voice and data applications.
