Modular Crimpers & Kits
Kinetic Super Wire Strip/Crimp Kit
The Telephone/Data Cable Splice and Repair Kit includes the Kinetic™ Super IDC specialty tool and red connectors needed for common telephone splice/tap applications as well as for repairing damaged data or voice conductors. The all-in-one tool can cut, strip, and crimp all types of jellybean UR/UY/UB IDC contact butt and tap connectors. The kit includes 25 gel-filled UR Red, 3-wire butt splice connectors. The tool is designed with a special parallel action, smooth flat plate crimping area that evenly crimps the jellybean in a consistent manner that leaves the connector body undamaged. Traditional linesman or other types of generic pivoting pliers do not offer a parallel action and will damage the plastic shell of the connector, or not seat the wires properly into the IDC sockets.

- Parallel surface action crimps the connectors evenly and prevents over crimping that leads to damaged connectors
- Slim, lightweight tool with locking latch to keep tool closed in pouches and pockets
- Includes 25 IDC connectors (UR Red, 3-Wire Butt Splice)
Ratchet Telemaster™ Modular Plug Crimp Tool
The Ratchet Telemaster™ is a professional grade tool designed for high everyday usage in the data and telecommunications fields by industry professionals. The Ratchet Telemaster™ has been an industry leading tool for crimping Cat5e and Cat 6 modular plugs for over 15 years. Precision ground crimp teeth and a multi-plated steel-walled body keep the connector stable and all the moving parts aligned throughout the crimp process for a perfect crimp every time. Many general purpose tools inconsistently crimp each of the eight contacts of a modular plug, and the tool cavity can bend under crimping stresses. This results in weak conductor to pin contact points from contacts that were not fully seated. Uneven/unseated contacts can also cause damage to the mating connector port.

Telemaster™ RJ11/RJ45 Modular Crimp Kit
The Telemaster™ has been a best-selling tool for crimping Cat5e and Cat 6 modular plugs for over 15 years. Precision ground crimp teeth and a steel-walled body keep the connector stable and all of the moving parts aligned throughout the crimp process for a perfect crimp every time. Many general purpose tools inconsistently crimp each of the eight contacts of a modular plug, and the tool cavity can bend under crimping stresses. This results in weak conductor to pin contact points from contacts that were not fully seated. Uneven/unseated contacts can also cause damage to the mating connector port. The Telemaster is a weight relieved, non-ratcheting version of the 30-696 Ratchet Telemaster™. It provides consistent quality terminations in a smaller and lighter form factor.
