## Summary description

Handheld crimping tool W-STAR WS7318R designed for terminating RJ45 connectors on shielded (STP) Cat7, Cat6 and Cat5 network cables. Provides crimping for modular RJ45 plugs to create reliable Ethernet connections.

## Long description

The W-STAR WS7318R crimping tool is a handheld solution for terminating shielded RJ45 (STP) connectors on Cat7, Cat6 and Cat5 network cables. Designed to apply consistent pressure and alignment when crimping modular RJ45 plugs, this tool helps create secure electrical contacts and maintain the cable shielding required for high-speed Ethernet links. Its compact design and manual operation make it suitable for on-site cable assembly and quick repairs without the need for power tools.
Advantages
The tool offers precise crimping jaws calibrated for RJ45 STP modular plugs, ensuring even compression across all contacts and preserving the connector shield. Its ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks and provide a firm grip for controlled crimping. Built from durable materials, the crimping mechanism is resistant to wear and retains alignment over repeated cycles, supporting consistent performance in field installations.
Suitable for
 Installing new network outlets using shielded Cat7, Cat6 or Cat5 cables
 On-site network repairs and connector replacements
 Pre-terminating patch cables in workshops or server rooms
 Field work by network technicians and installers requiring STP RJ45 terminations
Key specifications

How to use
Strip the cable jacket and fold back the foil shield as required by the STP connector type, arrange the conductor pairs into the correct order and cut to length. Insert the prepared cable into the RJ45 STP plug until the conductors reach the front contacts and the shield makes contact with the plug housing. Place the plug into the crimping jaw and squeeze the handles evenly until the crimping cycle completes and the plug is securely compressed. Inspect the termination to confirm that all contacts are fully seated and that the shield is engaged.
Usage recommendations
For reliable network performance, use RJ45 plugs rated for shielded cables and verify pair order before crimping. Avoid excessive re-crimping of the same connector; replace the plug if the contact or shield alignment is compromised. Store the tool in a dry environment and periodically check the jaws for wear to maintain consistent crimp quality.
