Review: Good - This crisper is a time and life saver. The wires go in super easy and you can easily verify the wires are lined up right before crimping. You get perfect crimps every single time. Therefore crisper also cut the wires perfectly so that the plug fits perfectly
Review: If you regularly run cable, you need it. - Worth it every time. There's no guessing if your pattern is right through cloudy connectors, and with UTP you are guaranteed to perfectly crimp to jacket every single time. Just get the wire through the connector, give 'em a twist like stranded copper, pull the jacket tight to the wire dividers in the connector and then pull it through the crimper. Keeping that tension on the wire bundle does help the sheer on the crimper cut better. If you don't have any tension on the wire it can leave a little bit of proud material on the front of the connector. It'll save you time, mistakes, and offer a perfect connection end every time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use a non-klein third-party Cat6a rj45 pass through jack in this tool and still retain a high quality "Cat6a" termination?**
A: Yes; standard RJ45 mod ends with pass through will work on this crimper (at least the several different brands that I have tried all worked)

**Q: suitable for cat 6 cable with a conductor for poe?**
A: If it is 23AWG cable, be prepared to fight really hard. I got this to make crimping connectors easier and they are so tight, im not sure how anyone actually gets a 23 gauge wire through them. Better go with CAT6a's unless you are going to be using 24awg cable.

**Q: Will this work with non-passthrough rj45 ends?**
A: This DOES work with standard (non- pass through) jacks. They probably put that on the packaging so you buy their brand of RJ45s

**Q: Do all vdv226-005 have the same issue? not able to remove the connector without using another tool (small screwdriver) to push down the clip?**
A: Once the handle is all the way opened, just pull on the cable or push the plug from the other side. There is nothing catching the clip..

This is a review of four related products purchased here on Amazon. 1. Klein Tools VDV826-703 Pass-Thru™ Modular Data Plug, CAT6, 50-Pack (ASIN B076PRM7W8) 2. Klein Tools VDV226-005 Compact Pass-Thru™ Modular Crimper (ASIN B07R3GK9FQ) 3. Soft Plastic Ethernet RJ45 Cable Connector Boots by Copapa (ASIN B07219KGC4) 4. H!Fiber 1Gbe Ethernet Network Adapter (ASIN B074PPRQQK) I’m using CAT 6 UTP (23 AWG) that I bought from a local home center. 1. I found the Klein Tools VDV826-703 Pass-Thru™ Modular Data Plug, (CAT6, 50-Pack) to be easy to use. This is my first-time using pass-thru connectors, and I have mixed feelings, but that’s not what this is about. The 23 AWG wires fit in snuggly but did require a bit of convincing to pass thru. They are more expensive than some others that are available, but I know these will work perfectly, especially with a same brand crimper. 2. The Klein Tools VDV226-005 Compact Pass-Thru™ Modular Crimper did its job flawlessly. The insulation is held tightly in place, the crimp felt secure, and the pass-thru wires were cut perfectly flush. I still need to try this with cheap plugs, to see if they are cut just as flush, but these work great with their own. 3. While I don’t usually use boots, I decided to give them a shot as they make the wires look more “finished”. I purchased the blue Soft Plastic Ethernet RJ45 Cable Connector Boots by Copapa. While they didn’t cost much, they were very soft and fit okay. I wish they were a little tighter around the wire, but that can vary from brand to brand. Overall, I’m happy with them. 4. Once the cables were completed, I plugged them into a H!Fiber NIC (Intel I350-T4 chipset). They all fit nicely together, even with the boots. That network card is not the V2, and that was expected. The V2s are harder to find and there are no performance differences. The revision was made to fix a slight power surge during power-on. The network card performed flawlessly with pfSense and I was able to configure two LAGGs with LACP support. One to a Cisco managed switch, and the other to my cable modem (SB8200) but I’ll save those for a different review. This card is working perfectly.
