Why customers choose TaskHolt Tools

Overview

The Klein Tools VDV226-005 Compact Data Cable Crimping Tool is designed for professional data cabling tasks, delivering precise terminations on CAT3, CAT5e, and CAT6/6A cables when used with Klein RJ45 Pass-Thru connectors. The tool blends dependable build quality with thoughtful ergonomics for comfortable, accurate work in tight spaces.

Pass-Thru technology streamlines the prep process by letting the conductors pass through the connector body, reducing rework and wasted materials. An on-tool wiring diagram guides you through the wiring sequence, helping maintain accuracy from first termination to final check. The compact form factor and non-slip grip support steady control, even during longer sessions or when working overhead.

  • On-tool wiring diagram helps reduce wiring errors and rework.
  • Crimps Klein RJ45 Pass-Thru connectors onto paired-conductor cables (round STP/UTP).
  • Compact, non-slip grip lowers hand strain and suits tight workspaces.
  • Designed for use with Klein Pass-Thru Connectors; available in packs of 10, 50, or 200.
  • Replacement blades available (Cat. No. VDV999-078) for long tool life.
