Review on Advanced Hiija Ratcheting RJ45 Crimp Tool For Cat5E And Cat6, Accommodating 8P/RJ45, 6P/RJ12 And RJ11 With Cut And Strip Tool For Precise Crimping by Robert Yates

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well in my review

The pass-thru connectors definitely cut down on errors when crimping RJ-45s because you can see the colors much more clearly than you can with conventional sealed-end connectors. It seems that several manufacturers have caught onto this. My only warning is that an open-end connector isn't the best choice for damp environments.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • The handle may get slippery when working with lubricated cables
