While the connectors are different internally, from the outside, they are identical. **Q: I've never stripped a cable with the crimping tool before. Does this crimper do a good job at that?** A: 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 **Q: Will this work on shielded RJ45 connectors?** A: no, it fits only unheralded connectors **Q: does this tool works on cat 6** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic piece of kit *by M***H on 30 July 2015* UPDATE: Thought I'd update my review for this piece of kit now it's been used a bit.

The cable cutting and stripping tools work extremely well and make prepping the cable super easy. The ratcheting mechanism has saved my bacon a few times too. It's great when you accidentally slip or need to adjust your grip, and ensures you crimp correctly every time. I'd definitely recommend these. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great tool. *by M***X on 8 August 2014* This was my first time crimping RJ46 ends. It cut the plastic sheath without damaging the inner wires, crimped the RJ45 ends with ease and helped repair/make several cables without fault. It feels comfortable to use to this novice and I'd be confident using this to make lots more cables. This tutorial was a big help (the unwrapping order makes all the difference): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AijuC8Nb_E I learned this later: Once cut, the thread should be used to peal the sheath back to expose more wire just in case they were damaged. Will be doing this with all future cables. ## Frequently Bought Together - TRENDnet Crimping Tool, Crimp, Cut, And Strip Tool, For Any Ethernet or Telephone Cable, Built-In Cutter And Stripper, 8P-RJ-45 And 6P-RJ-12, RJ-11, All Steel Construction, Black, TC-CT68 - TRENDnet Punch Down Tool With 110 And Krone Blade, Insert & Cut Terminations In One Operation, Precision Blades Are Interchangeable & Reversible, Network Punch Tool, Grey, TC-PDT - Cable Matters 100-Pack Cat 6 Pass Through RJ45 Connectors (Cat 6 Ends / Cat6 Connector / RJ45 Modular Plugs/Ethernet Plugs/Network Connector) for Solid or Stranded UTP Ethernet Cable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/48801828-crimping-tool-crimp-cut-and-strip-tool-for-any-ethernet](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/48801828-crimping-tool-crimp-cut-and-strip-tool-for-any-ethernet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
