Onten OTN-E993 Professional RJ45/RJ11 Crimping & Stripping Tool

The Onten OTN-E993 is a hand tool for terminating network and telephone cable, seating RJ45 and RJ11/RJ12 modular plugs onto the cable end. It is what you reach for when a patch lead needs to be made to length instead of bought in a fixed size. Three jobs are handled by one body: crimping, cutting and stripping. It works with Cat5 and Cat5e cable and with 8P8C plugs as well as the smaller 6P4C and 4P2C telephone plugs. Construction is hardened metal, and the handles carry an ergonomic anti-slip grip in a black and green finish that stays comfortable through a long run of terminations. Being fully mechanical, there is no battery to charge or replace. It suits network installers, IT staff and anyone running cable in an office, shop or home — data points, CCTV cable runs, telephone extensions and replacement patch leads. Pair it with a cable tester so every plug you crimp is checked before the lead is pulled into a wall or handed to a client, and keep a supply of plugs on hand so a broken connector becomes a quick repair rather than a whole new cable.
