What is the best crimping/splicing tool for the Cat6a wiring?

Platinum Tools 100054C Clamshell EZ-RJPRO HD Crimp ToolI went with a higher grade crimping tool that did everything I needed. Wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money when I was shopping around, but after cabling my entire house I was happy I went with this model instead of one of the lower cost ones. It cuts, strips, crimps easily and quickly.Hope this helps, Dan.

Depending on the application, you can either solder or crimp the wires. I chose to solder. The only tool really required was a small needle nose pliers.

Hello Smac,This is What I ordered and has worked good so far "RG6 RG59 Connector Waterproof Connectors Crimping Tool" here is the linkhttp://www.amazon . com/gp/product/B0050N0S36/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I bought the mating (weatherized) MC4 connectors; not expensive, but the crimp tool is pricey. Of course you can cut off the extant MC4 connectors and splice to any appropriate wire pair. Your chosen 16AWG wire is sufficient for the approx 2.5A max current if you are not going too far, (perhaps 20 ft or less; remember voltage drop is a function of distance). If the cables have shielding ( I think they don't), be certain to prevent a short to the shield where you splice. You can look under the terminal cover to see if they are shielded; I did, but can't remember for sure.

Yes, you need a crimping tool in order to connect the pins/terminals to the wire. It does not need to be a "special" one, but if they use something similar to the "Delphi Packard Five-Cavity Wide-Range Crimping Tool 22-12 AWG / 24-14 AWG" you should be fine.

Sorry, I have no answer for your application, but this crimping tool is working for us very well. We are using it with aluminum crimping SS steel cables, attaching zip lines on trees in Panama forest jungle.

This is not the best or cheapest tool for that kind of work. I have done it but it takes.a few steps. I'd strip the outer.jacket.away with.the.blade to expose the.length of wires I need to have exposed. Then I either carefully cut down through the insulation and spin the.blade to make a circumfrential cut. Then you may be able to pull the insulation off or grab the insulation with the pliers and pull it off. The other way is to shave the insulation away from the wire. Either way you'll want to be careful not to NICK the wire. To cut the wire itself you could use the pliers to bend it back and forth until the wire fatigues and breaks, or use the file and file part way through then bend it once or.twice and it will snap.

Festool ct 36 e is the best workhorse there is . I have the ct 36 and also porter cable but prefere festool .had issue with porter cable burning out the auto switch twice.festool makes the best tools period.you get what you pay for.

I use a cat 5e cabling, It works just fine for me. I have never heard of Cat 6: is it even out there yet?

I doubt that the trendnet crimpers will work. These EZ require the wires that stick out to be neatly trimmed. I tried many times to trim these ends and was never successful. Bought the Platinum EZ crimp tool and worked first time. I made the mistake of buying the connectors and found them worthless with out the EZ crimp tool that cuts the wires at the same time it crimps.

I think you need something more like the HT-225D. You're most likely talking about Molex open barrel terminals and the 225D is specifically for smaller wire. It has two crimpers, for 18-22 and for 24-30, Says it's for 3 or 4 pin Molex and D-Sub & Open Barrel connectors.

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

You would be better off buying wire at the lenth you're looking for. Most hardware stores will offer wire spools that you can cut the lenth(s) you require from. However, if you insist on connecting wire segments, there are a few approaches that are relatively safe. The most common would be using connectors like those found in a kit like this: Neiko® 50413A Wire Terminal and Connection Kit with Crimpers/Wire Stripper | 175 Piece Set

Actually the extra wire on the end is cut off its just easier to get it right that way I'd recommend getting their official crimping tool as for higher cross talk or impedance I'm not sure about that as I think it's related to whatever cable you get but either I highly recommend this product generally you can find it in youtube how this process is done

No. If you use the proper RJ-11, (Of the type that blocks the wires at the end.) you should have no problem. Have assembled hundreds of CAT5, CAT6 straight through, and crossovers using this tool. No issues whatsoever

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
