does this tester read catr6 cables and do the crimper work on cat6 connector... can i use this kit on cat6 items

from the research that I did, it certainly looks like that. The same tools can be found in a different kit on amazon.com for both Cat5 and Cat6.

These are a one-piece plastic connector into which you will insert an 8-wire (partially stripped) cat5 or cat6 wire and then crimp in place with an appropriate tool. Note these are not the type of connectors where the 8 thin wires are pushed all the way through (for easy color verification) and then clipped from the front; those connectors (and esp. the tool) are more costly.

Yes it does. For stripping cables I really have not found much difference between any crimping tools. They all use the same design with a small razor blade. You need to be careful to not cut the wires inside the cable itself but that is similar for most tools. For it's price, it works well.

Yes it will work with Cat6a cables. The wiring at the plug/jack is the same for all Cat-5 and -6 cables, the differences are in the manufacturing of the cable itself, twists per foot, insulating media, etc., not in the termination at the jack/plug.

I do not see any reason you couldn't use it. Cat 6 is just a higher speed cable because it has more twists. Cat 5&6 use the same rj45 connector. They also have the same amount of conductors.

Haven't used it yet. Hopefully it does because I bought it for cat6 cables Good luck!

The cable is LMR400, which you can find detailed specs for on the web. The impedance is 50 Ohms. There is a center conductor, dielectric, outer conductor and overall braid. The cable is physically about 1/2 inch in diameter, so you would not be able to crimp F connectors on. You would need adapters from N Male to F type.

I used it once or twice to strip cable and it worked fine. However, I find it's easier to just score the cable jacket with a utility knife and pull the scored piece off. The crimper works excellent. I've ran Cat5 to multiple rooms and have no issues with the connections.

The tester is in 2 pieces just connect 1 on each end of your cable. On mine I had a 100 ft cable with problems and it scanned it and found 1 broken wire. The tester scans by stepping through the cable 1 wire at a time and if broken it will skip the bad wire. Hope this helps the cheap thing works...

I've used it for both the pass-through style connectors and regular connectors and it works fine. We just went through a new install and terminated over 100 connections with this crimper, and it worked great. My business partner prefers the pass through connectors, I still prefer the traditional ones, but it works all the same.

Do not buy this crimp tool. I bought it used it once and it didn't crimp all the pins and also didn't cut the excess wires. The tool is useless so bad I threw it away. Buy a cheap Radio Shack crimper as it's cheaper and better.

Note that the product name is "Compression Crimper." It does "crimp" the fitting to the cable - it just requires special compression fittings rather than the style which crimps the barrel of the fitting. BTW does a good job for me but does sometimes require a little adjustment if you switch brands of fittings.

hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well. I've never used the tripper in the crimping tools, they always cut into the strands too much imo hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well.

They do not crimp into the wires they only adapt two female plugs together. There are crimp on adapters but have read that they are tough to crimp on rite. Check on line it took me a while to educate myself to get the parts that I needed. Make sure you get the wires the same if not the colors wont be what the same as the remote color shows. I soldered my own wires on to extend or use short pieces for other projects. Use flux on all connections. Harbor Freight sells a cheap third hand with magnifier to hold the wires as you solder them. good luck.

yes. the picture is wrong, the probe has rj45 (not rj11) port in it and the two units together will test each of the 8 conductors on the ethernet cable for shorts, opens, and correct order.

oops....this is not a punch down tool but a crimping tool......all my CAT 6 plugs and jacks (all bought separately) are of the "crimp" type...NOT punch down....you can find punch down tools at Home Depot.

Same connector.. some have had problems with newer cat 6, something about the wire being thicker and difficult to push through. I have had no problems using them on cat 6.. I will say that before you insert cable you should trim the wire ends diagonally (cut wire on a angle, short-long) makes thicker wire easier to insert and prevent crossover...
