Pay attention to details about the selection of crimping pliers

As we all know, in the production process of the network cable, the crimping tool is one of the essential tools and a hero to ensure smooth network. The crimping clamp is not only used to suppress the network cable, but also has many "good skills". It can be used to complete three tasks: cutting, stripping, and pressing. If you have not selected the crimping tool, it will not only waste the crystal head, network cable and other equipment, but also bring potential risks to the future work. Therefore, the purchasing of the crimping tool also has a lot of attention.

Door-to-door: identifying categories is important
When purchasing the crimping tool, be sure to select the right type. Because the crimping tool has different specifications for different cables, you must use a special crimping tool for twisted pair wires to create a network cable. For example, the network cable uses RJ45 headers, so you must never buy the plug-in for pressing the telephone line 201711 connector. Otherwise, you can only press the telephone line connector to make the plug-in ".

Pay-as-you-go: function Selection
In addition to the single-function Pressure clamp that can only suppress the network cable, there are also many more complex Pressure clamp functions on the market. This crimping tool can suppress both network cable connections and telephone line connections (figure 1 ).

As shown in figure 1, the Pressure clamp is a relatively complex Pressure clamp with three types of slots, namely 6 P, 8 P, and 4 P, at the top, the 8 p slot in the middle is our most commonly used RJ45 pressure slot, and the 4 P next to it is the pressure slot of the telephone line. On the back of the 8 p pressure trough of the crimping tool, we can see a tooth-shaped module, which is mainly used to press the eight contacts on the crystal head on the twisted pair wire (figure 2 ).

The first cutting edge of this type of crimping tool is used for skin peeling. When the pliers are combined, there should be about 1.5mm gaps. The second one is used for cutting, and there is no gap. The space in the middle "convex" shape is used to press the wire. Plug a crystal head in to see if the eight sertices are exactly aligned with the copper. Do not press them by force, otherwise, a crystal head will be decommissioned.

Brand or non-brand: Wallet determines everything
In the market, you may see that the price of common crimping tool is 30 RMB ~ 50 RMB, while some are hundreds or even thousands of RMB. In fact, their functions are similar and their operation methods are similar. The difference between them is whether they are brand products. 30 RMB ~ Generally, 50 yuan of crimping pliers are not labeled as branded products, but they do not mean that their quality is very poor. Of course, the quality of brand products must be reassuring, such as Hepu and amp.
