Crimping tool W-STAR WSEZ670 for RJ45 Cat6/Cat5 STP connectors

The W-STAR WSEZ670 crimping tool is designed for terminating RJ45 plugs on Cat6 and Cat5 shielded (STP) Ethernet cables. This handheld tool provides a mechanical crimp that secures the connector to the cable and preserves shield continuity for shielded installations. It is intended for installers and technicians who perform network cable terminations in the field or in a workshop environment and supports standard RJ45 STP crimping for reliable electrical and mechanical connections.

Advantages

The tool offers a compact, handheld design that enables on-site crimps of RJ45 STP connectors for Cat5 and Cat6 cables. It produces consistent mechanical pressure to secure plug contacts and the connector shield, helping maintain signal integrity in shielded Ethernet runs. The crimping head is shaped to match standard RJ45 STP plugs, allowing repeatable terminations and reducing rework. The device is compatible with common RJ45 STP connector dimensions and is suitable for use during installation and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Field termination of Cat6 and Cat5 shielded (STP) Ethernet cables
• On-site network installations and repairs
• Workshop cable assembly and connector testing
• Maintaining shield continuity in shielded Ethernet runs

Key specifications

• Function: crimping RJ45 shielded (STP) connectors
• Cable categories supported: Cat6, Cat5 (shielded/STP)
• Operation: handheld manual crimping
• Compatibility: standard RJ45 STP plug dimensions
• Typical use: field and workshop network terminations

How to use

Prepare the Ethernet cable by stripping the outer jacket to the required length and arranging the conductor pairs according to the chosen wiring standard. Insert the prepared cable into the RJ45 STP plug so that conductors reach the contact pins and the connector shield makes contact with the cable shield. Place the RJ45 plug into the crimping head of the W-STAR WSEZ670 and squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the crimp is completed. After crimping, visually inspect the termination to ensure pins are fully seated and the shield is secured; perform continuity and wiring tests with appropriate testers before deployment.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool with RJ45 connectors designed for shielded cables and verify connector fit before crimping. Maintain the tool by keeping the crimping head clean and free of debris, and avoid excessive force beyond normal crimping pressure to prevent damage to connectors. For reliable network performance, test each terminated cable for continuity, pair integrity and shield continuity after crimping.
