This category includes the core hand tools and accessories used with our copper cabling lines: DB pin insertion/extraction tools for multi-pin backshells and a ratcheted RJ crimp tool for terminating RJ11/RJ12/RJ45 modular plugs. These are the pieces that make installing and servicing cables cleaner, faster, and more reliable.
