RJ45/RJ11 Crimp Tool Kit
The Ideal 33-396 kit combines cutting, stripping and crimping functions in a single compact tool for CAT-3, CAT-5E and CAT-6 cables. A black oxide-coated steel frame with spring-loaded handle and locking button provides durability and comfort. The package includes ten RJ11 6P6C plugs and ten RJ45 8P8C CAT-5E plugs for immediate use.
Installers needing one tool for voice and data
Technicians terminating both RJ45 and RJ11 modular plugs on CAT-3 through CAT-6 cables will find the fixed crimp cavities convenient. The tool does not support other connector types or cable categories beyond those listed. Buyers requiring fibre termination, coaxial compression or high-volume automated crimping should look at different equipment.
Ten plugs of each type included
The supplied ten RJ11 and ten RJ45 plugs cover small patch-cord jobs and initial testing. Larger structured-cabling projects will need additional connector packs purchased separately. The tool’s fixed cavities handle 6P2C, 6P4C, 6P6C and 8P8C plugs reliably, but it does not accommodate shielded or non-standard modular plugs.

Questions about this item
What cable types must I already have to use the 33-396 crimper?
The tool terminates CAT-3, CAT-5E and CAT-6 cables with RJ45 or RJ11 modular plugs.
Will the fixed crimp cavities on the 33-396 accept the older 6P4C and 6P2C plugs I still use?
Yes, the RJ11 cavity handles 6P6C, 6P4C and 6P2C plugs alongside the 6P6C plugs supplied in the kit.
How can I confirm the 33-396 is producing reliable terminations after my first crimps?
Inspect each connector for fully seated contacts, proper wire order and a tight strain-relief crimp; the spring-return handle and locking button give consistent pressure for repeatable results.
