Crimping tool Alantec NI036 — cable crimper, single-piece handheld tool

Alantec NI036 — cable crimper, single-piece handheld tool is a compact manual crimping tool designed for terminating and joining wires with WT108 modular plugs. Supplied as a single unit, this handheld tool integrates cutting, stripping and crimping functions to support on-site repairs, installations and maintenance in electrical and telecom environments. Its parallel crimping action and energy-saving lever mechanism deliver consistent crimps while remaining portable for fieldwork.

Advantages

The design combines cutting, stripping and crimping in one handheld tool, reducing the need to carry multiple instruments. Parallel crimping and locking ensure uniform pressure across the contact for precise, reliable terminations. An energy-saving lever mechanism reduces user effort, and integrated length cutter and stripping knife support conductor preparation for 6 mm and 12 mm cable sections.

Suitable for

• Crimping WT108 modular plugs onto patch cables
• On-site network installations and repairs
• Telecom and low-voltage electrical maintenance tasks
• Portable field work where a compact crimping tool is required

Key specifications

• Functionality: cutting, stripping and crimping in one tool
• Compatibility: dedicated for WT108 modular plugs
• Crimping action: parallel crimping with locking mechanism for uniform pressure
• Lever mechanism: energy-saving design to reduce hand force
• Wire preparation: length cutter and stripping knife for 6 mm and 12 mm
• Form factor: single-piece handheld tool, portable for field use

How to use

Prepare the cable by measuring and trimming to the required length. Use the integrated length cutter to shorten the cable, then position the jacket in the stripping knife to remove the appropriate amount of insulation for 6 mm or 12 mm as required. Place the conductor pair into the WT108 modular plug, insert the plug into the crimping die and squeeze the handles until the parallel crimping action completes with the lock engaged. Verify the termination visually and with a cable tester if available.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, inspect blades and crimping dies for wear before use, keep the tool clean and store it dry. Use the tool only with compatible WT108 modular plugs and avoid excessive force beyond the designed lever action. When performing multiple terminations, test sample crimps periodically to confirm reliable contacts.
