Solsop Pass Through RJ45 Crimp Tool Kit All-in-One Ethernet Crimper Cat7 Cat6 Cat5 Crimping Tool with Network Cable Tester, 50-Pack Cat6 RJ45 Pass Through Connector, 50-Pack Connector Boots

I have made way to many Ethernet cables over the last 10+ years, but none recently until a few days ago, when I used this kit for the first time. The results and ease of use exceed my hopes - as making cables, or just replacing the connectors on current cable is not my favorite task in all of networking. 1. The supplies (cable ends/hoods) are well made, and fulfilled their roles perfectly. I have used open ended pass through connectors before, and they make everything so very much easier. The included ones are very well made, and worked perfectly the first time, in each case I used them. If I can, I'll be recording new supplies of these exact connectors and hoods from THIS same supplier. 2. The included cable tester is basic, no fluff, but worked perfectly to validate the continuity and proper ordering of the wires in each end. This is all that's needed in most situations, and perfectly met the goals. If you need a fancier more thorough test meter, get one, but for most situations, this is all that's needed, and perfectly compliments the rest of this kit. 3. The crimp/cutter tool worked perfectly (I followed the directions!), and produced perfect results in each use. (If you find the stripper isn't tight enough for your cable, rotate the cable slightly while in the cutter.) The included instructions are.... not all they could be. If you have done this work before, they will be adequate containing both A & B wiring standards, and decipherable use instructions. If you have never done this work before, be patient with yourself - these instructions are not 'hand holding' enough for total novice. Note to the seller: Do you sell additional supplies (Identical connectors/hoods) separately? Casual users don't need 100's at a time, and what you provide in this kit should last a while for the casual user. Would I buy this kit again/recommend it? 100% YES.

Great tool kit for the price point. Does a good job terminating cat6a with included ends. So far all connections are solid and test positive using the included tester. I am not a professional installer. I am using this for my home networking project and it works just fine for me.

I purchased this kit to make Ethernet cables for a few networking projects, and while it does get the job done, it wasn't as easy to use as I had hoped. The included tools, tester, connectors, and boots make for a complete package, which is nice for someone getting started. My biggest complaint is that crimping solid copper wire requires more effort than expected. Getting the wires properly seated and crimped consistently took some patience, and I found the tool wasn't as smooth or effortless as other crimpers I've used in the past. The pass-through connectors are helpful for verifying wire order before crimping, and the cable tester worked as expected. Once the cables were finished, they performed properly, but the process was more frustrating than it needed to be. Overall, the kit offers decent value and includes everything needed to make cables, but if you're working primarily with solid copper Ethernet cable, be prepared for a bit of a learning curve and some extra effort during assembly.

There are several items as part of this package. I will review them one at a time. 1. Crimpers pros are the multifunction all in one tool. first there are wire cutters and are very sharp and precisely cut the CAT5/5e. The cutters are not meant to cut heavy gauge wire. Next there are two wire strippers, one for round cable and one for flat cable. I can't speak to the flat wire stripper because I don't use flat cables but the round CAT5/5e stripper worked perfectly without knicking any of the inside wires. Although I would warn that the round cables can become more oval when handling but just a quick squeeze to reshape the cable before using the strippers works perfectly. Finally you have the actually crimping function. I only used the RJ45 8P8C but there are RJ11 6P and 4P crimps also. The RJ45 connector slid in easy and hit the stopper without pushing through too far. A firm squeeze on the handles crimped the connector. The handles are just long enough to provide good leverage without using two hands to squeeze. The one con for the crimps are it doesn't have a ratcheting mechanism or a final click when the crimp is complete. But as long as you perform a full closure of the handles the crimp comes out great everytime. 2. Testers pros are the ease of use and versatility to use with RJ45 8P and RJ11 6P connectors. The testers attach together which is great when testing a short patch cable and can be reverse attached to keep the test ports on the same side. I used these between three floors without the need to constantly run up and down stairs to check connections. I was not able to find any cons with the testers. 3. Stand alone wire stripper - There's not much to these but it does work well. There are several different stripper positions for different sized cables. It is very easy to slide the cable into a smaller position and knick all the inside wires. Also you don't want to rotate the strippers around the wire too many times because it will dig in and knick the inside wires. As a bonus on the stand alone strippers is a punch down tool for seating the twisted pairs into a jack assembly. The only con i found with the stand alone stripper is it's not very heavy duty but to be honest I will use the wire stripper on the crimpers most of the time. Overall at this price this package is a very good deal and would be a good addition to a tool set. One last mention is this would not hold up well for everyday professional use but as occasional use this will hold up great.

This kit has everything you need to work with ethernet cables, and I mean everything. If you're someone who does any kind of networking work, whether professionally or just around the house, this is one of those purchases that'll make your life so much easier. The crimping tool itself is really well-made. It's got a solid feel to it – not flimsy or cheap like some of the budget options out there. The pass-through design is a game changer if you've never used one before. Being able to see the wires go through the connector means you can verify everything's in the right order before you crimp, which saves you from wasting connectors and having to redo cables. That feature alone makes this worth it. What really sets this kit apart is that it works with Cat5, Cat6, and Cat7 cables. That versatility means you're covered no matter what kind of cable you're working with. The tool handles all of them smoothly without any issues. The crimping action is clean and consistent – you get a good, secure connection every time. The kit comes with a bunch of useful extras too. You get the cable tester, which is super handy for making sure your cables are working properly before you run them through walls or ceilings. There's nothing worse than finishing a cable run only to find out there's a problem with the termination. The tester takes all the guesswork out of it. Just plug both ends in and the lights tell you immediately if everything's wired correctly. They also include connectors, which is great for getting started right away. The pass-through connectors that come with it work perfectly with the crimper. Having those included means you can start using the kit immediately without having to order anything else separately. It's nice when a kit actually includes what you need to get going. The wire stripper and cutting tool are quality pieces too. The stripper is adjustable and doesn't damage the internal wires when you're removing the jacket, which is important for maintaining signal quality. The cuts are clean and precise. These aren't just throwaway tools they included to round out the kit – they're actually useful and well-made. Storage is handled with a decent carrying case. Everything fits in there neatly, and it keeps all the pieces organized so you're not hunting around for different parts. If you're taking this to different job sites or just want to keep your tools organized, the case does its job well. The quality of the crimps you get with this tool is really impressive. They're tight and secure without being overdone. I haven't had any issues with cables coming loose or connections failing. When you crimp a cable with this tool, you can be confident it's going to work and keep working. For anyone who needs to make custom length ethernet cables or do any kind of network installation work, this kit is an excellent value. You're getting professional-quality tools for a reasonable price. It's got everything you need in one package, and all of it works well together. The pass-through design, the cable tester, the quality of the crimper itself – it all adds up to a kit that makes cable work straightforward and reliable. I'm really happy with this purchase. It's made working with network cables much easier and more efficient. If you're in the market for a crimping kit, this one definitely delivers.

TL;DR This item is sturdy, cheap and complete, no issues at all, for my purpose 1 YouTube vid and a $15 gigabit switch were all I needed besides this item to finish my job, mind you I've never altered a cable in my life. As a disclaimer, I bought this for the sole purpose of connecting my own home internet connection because the home builders did not and neither did my internet company. Essentially, I bought the house with ethernet connections in the wall which I could not use since AT&T has very cheap fiber and since we have no central network box/cabinet in the closet all the ethernet cables go to the attic and just hang there disconnected, while the fiber modem is just does it's own thing in my room. We did not want to bother with routing more holes in our walls to connect the fiber setup into the attic and also wanted all the connections to be in line of sight so we opted for a different solution: In my room is an ethernet port, I connected the modem into the ethernet port. Then, using this kit, I crimped all the ethernet cables (rj45 cat6), then connected them to the gigabit switch (we have a plug upstairs, need one for the switch). Now we have ethernet throughout the whole house. (wherever there is a port) Now that my use case is out of the way, on to the review: The kit was incredibly easy to handle, a quick video was all I needed to get it going, I was incredibly careful about the order of the cat6 colored cables because I have never done it before so I didn't want to mess up (checked the order every step of the way at least three times). There were no issues at all and now I have excess connectors and tools for odd jobs my family might need me for. If you think you might be getting less quality I cannot speak for that because I was not unlucky enough to get a bad batch, but from my experience with this product, it deserves a solid 5 stars and I would give 6 if I could because it simply was so cheap. Hope I provided a good perspective, please click the "Helpful" button if you think I was.

I have a differnet higher dollar crimp tool that I loved but it was getting ridiculous replacing its razor blades every 20 or so cuts. This tool so far has been precise and propper for terminations I have needed. I purchased 2 as I work with kids some times who dont jave their own tools and I dont mind risking 25$ as opposed to my 80+ crimpers.... also the included jacket and plugs are a nice add.

Great budget option. I had no prior experience crimping CAT6, works well and made it really easy for running a couple of CAT6 lines throughout my house. Just make sure you use the same wire diagram for both ends. I found it easiest to fit the individual wires into the rj45 jack by pinching all of them together in a line and then sorta wiggling back and forth until they formed a nice and neat length.

Bra kvalitet och snabb leverans

Handy crimping kit with crimps and covers. The crimps allow the wire to extend through the end so it is useful for the novice user.

J’aime pu certir correctement mes prises réseau facilement grâce à ce kit complet. Le testeur permet de vérifier rapidement le bon raccordement des fils. Il faut néanmoins rajouter une pile 9V pour l’alimenter. Pour moi qui n’ai pas l’habitude de faire ces branchements, c’était parfait !

This review evaluates the “RJ45 Pass Through Modular CAT6 Crimping Tool” made by SOLSOP. The product was shipped with no excessive or wasteful packaging. What’s in the box: one (1) RJ45 pass-through modular CAT6 crimping tool, one (1) wire stripping tool, and two (2) spare cutter blades. First impressions: Good quality. Standard fit. Easy to use. If you have never used pass-through modular plugs, you have no idea how much more convenient and easier they make termination jobs! The installation process is quicker and more reliable; you don’t have to worry about a wire miss-feeding once you push it in. This crimper is designed for these connectors although you can also use this crimper on conventional modular RJ45 plugs too. The frame of the tool is made of heavy steel and is well put together. It has a built-in sheathing stripper that worked very well with different brands of CAT5E and CAT6E cabling that I tried. The modular plugs fit precisely into the metal shoe (not a plastic shoe like some other crimpers and the handle smoothly crimps the modular plug and trims the protruding pass-through wires in one clean motion. The crimper is non-ratcheting, which I prefer because it gives you more control of the cam-over at the end of the crimp. The protruding wires are cut perfectly flush as can be seen in my pictures. The crimper also has a convenient handle locking bar to keep the tool compact in your tool pouch. There also is a handy wiring chart for straight and reverse cables on the side of the tool. Only time will tell if this product has similar longevity and durability as other competitive products on the market. Therefore, I will monitor this product over the next 8-12 months of use and revise my review should problems arise. Cost-effectiveness and value: Overall I am very satisfied with the product, it is well-made, convenient, and easy to use. At a current price of $39.99, I feel it is fair value for the quality and functionality delivered. In summary: the “RJ45 Pass Through Modular CAT6 Crimping Tool” made by SOLSOP is made of good-quality material, is tough, and does the job well. It speeds up installation and reduces defects. I would recommend this product without reservation. Pros 👍: ✔ Heavy duty steel frame construction, contractor grade. ✔ Ergonomic handle. ✔ Built-in handle lock. ✔ Built-in sheathing stripper and wire cutter. ✔ Built-in wire straightener. ✔ Metal crimping shoe. ✔ Non-ratcheting crimp with cam-over. ✔ Replaceable cutting knives, 2 spare cutting knives are included. ✔ handy wiring chart for straight and reverse cables on the side of the tool. ✔ Wire pass-through design speeds up installation and reduces defects. ✔ Fair price and good value. Cons👎: ✘ None.

Does not have the wire colour diagram shown in one of the pictures
