Whether tackling residential wiring projects, network installations, or telecommunications work, this crimper delivers fast, reliable results every time.
Review: Wiring CAT6 23 AWG - Ordered Saturday, Arrived Sunday. I had trouble getting a CAT6 cable individual ends into a normal RJ45 Plug. Possibly due to the small working area between the sheath end and the ends of the wires using the thicker 23 AWG. Thought I would try out the Pass-Thru plugs. So ordered the Klein Plugs and this Klein Crimper tool. Must mention that I am happy wiring Cat5 and Cat5e using normal plugs. My problems arose with the CAT6 cable. Perhaps, I suspect, because my CAT6 cable is 23 AWG, and by the way it also has a central Twisted Pair separator inner running through the cable. Anyway when it arrived I straight away dived into plugging my CAT6 cable. I had read the reviews regarding being unable to wire the thicker AWG cable so had that in mind when setting things up. Eventually, after about 40 minutes of faffing about trying different things and perhaps reducing the length of my cable by about a foot I plumbed for forgetting about the 1and 1/2 inch or 2 inch measurements from the end of the sheath to the wire ends and went for 4 inches approx which meant I could work on the wire ends only and not worry about the sheath end after I realised I could just pull them through when I had them in the proper order and they were passed-through the plug. The wire ends, or wire tips, have to be jammed tight close to each other, no daylight between the wires going into the plug and then slowly passed into the plug. Once you have jiggled a little bit and they look in order, with no wire having jumped on top of another, etc. Then you can push more firmly to get the wires engaged into their proper channels. Re-check again, as best you can. Then push more firmly and positively and they will go through. Then I pull on all the wires which are through and feed and work the sheath into the plug, it does go in, past the crimp position. Once through and happy they are in the correct colour order I then pull each pair, by original colour twist order, then pull on each wire individually with a small pair of pliers, just to take up any slack on the wires inside the plug between the sheath and the wire ends. Re-push sheath to ensure still fully in position. The second plug was done in about 15 minutes. I concentrated on the wire ends and working them constantly to get them very close together before even attempting to try to put them into the plug. Tip - Re-cut if the wires ends are not all in line with each other. I fully expect to get this time down the more I use these plugs. By the way once I had the actual wires through in correct order it was so easy to use and crimped perfectly and also cut the wire ends off the plug. Nice job. Will be using Pass-Thru for CAT6 and thicker cabling without a shadow of doubt. Negative is the wire stripper, waste of time. Too bulky a tool to maintain constant pressure for a sheath cut and turn the tool around the cable, tool is too bulky for that. Use a separate sheath cutter. This review is mainly about the pass-through plugs I suppose but that is where the pain is in wiring CAT6 23 AWG. You would still have that pain and more with normal plugs. But pass-through plugs helps immensely by giving you more wire to work with. The Crimp tool works fine, does the crimping part very well. Not tested on any other type of pass-through plugs. Only done 2 RJ45 plugs - but very pleased with this pass-through system (mainly because I have never, ever, managed to get my CAT6 23 AWG cable into any normal Cat 6 RJ45 plug successfully - amateur, I know)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you need to use klein pass thru connectors or any brand of pass thru connectors?**
A: Any pass through connectors

**Q: Does this work with shielded/foil cat6a please?**
A: Yes, it does. 
This crimping tool (VDV226-110) supports CAT3, CAT5e, CAT6/6A cable types. 
Actually, it will depend on the type of RJ45 connectors.
For shielded/foiled cables you may be required a special type of connectors (for example: Pass-Thru™ Modular Data Plugs, RJ45-CAT6A, Shielded (STP) VDV826-705). 
In my practice, I even used this for crimping CAT6e (STP) cables with no issues. 
Regards

**Q: Whats the difference between this and the £10 cheaper 2016 version? (asin b00f6k5sy2)?  only handle and number seem different**
A: The new version is for the MUCH simpler to use pass through type RJ45 plugs and cuts off the excess cable whilst crimping, the model you mention is as far as I am aware only for the traditional type of RJ45 connectors that dont have the pass through functionality, so whilst it would still work fine crimping them you would need to cut off the excess with a sharp blade afterwards

**Q: can this unit be used on flat RJ45 cables**
A: Having not used flat cables I couldnt say for sure, although with some trial and error I cant see why the cutting blade wouldnt be suitable for preparing them

As for the crimping and cut off part of it, that only related to the plug, what type of cable you insert into the plug shouldnt matter as long as it meets the Cat5/6 specifications

After that all the tool does is push the IDC blades down, cuts off the excess wire that passes through and compresses the cable grip in the plug, so it shouldnt really matter what type of cable you have used

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool if you are looking for an upgrade.
*by S***S on 1 January 2026*

After realizing my old crimp tool was not as good as it once was I decided to pay the extra and buy a more upmarket version. The tool is a pleasure to use, it is solid and has a good feel and action to it. so far it has not made a bad connection and crimps the connectors with ease. Although it does cost more than the cheaper versions after using it for some time, I would say the speed of use and accuracy of the tool reduces potential rework and will in the long run save time and in turn money. If you are looking for a new RJ45 tool I would strongly recommend this one.
