It gives a good clean cut on the cables and strips the sheaths easily. The only part that is lacking is the crimping function - maybe it is poor connectors but it always requires a double press and then visual inspection to ensure a good connection. ### ⭐⭐ Leaves excess cable after crimping *by A***W on 21 July 2025* Leaves about a millimeter of cable poking out of the passthrough, which is not an issue I've had before even on bargain basement crimpers half the price of these. Disappointing as this brand is usually pretty solid for quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters All-In-One Modular Ethernet Crimping Tool Cat 8 (Cat5 Cat6 Cat7 Cat8 Crimping Tool) for Shielded Pass-Through Connectors - 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 - Cable Matters 100-Pack Cat 6A Shielded Pass Through RJ45 Connectors (Cat 6A Ends / Cat6A Connector / RJ45 Modular Plugs/Ethernet Plugs/Network Connector) for Solid or Stranded S/FTP 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.be/products/623440764-cable-matters-modular-rj45-crimping-tool-for-shielded-pass-through](https://www.desertcart.be/products/623440764-cable-matters-modular-rj45-crimping-tool-for-shielded-pass-through) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
