Kaapelin puristus- ja asetustyökalu Knipex 97 40 10

The Knipex 97 40 10 cable crimper insertion tool is designed for inserting and securing UTP and STP network cables into patch panels, keystone jacks and wall sockets. It combines pushing the wire pairs into the connector and cutting the excess conductors in a single operation. The lightweight plastic housing and compact dimensions make the tool easy to handle on-site while maintaining robust performance for repeated use.

Advantages

The tool performs insertion and trimming in one motion, reducing time and the need for extra tools. It accepts conductors with diameters from 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm and includes an integrated pulling hook and a release blade for convenient cable handling. The impact-proof plastic housing keeps the tool durable yet lightweight (approx. 0.1 kg), and the aluminium-coloured finish aids visibility during work.

Suitable for

• Installing patch panels and keystone jacks
• Terminating UTP and STP cables
• Working on wall outlets and surface-mount boxes
• Field service and on-site network maintenance

How to use

Place the prepared cable conductors into the target connector according to the connector wiring scheme. Position the tool over the connector and apply steady pressure to push the conductors fully into the contact slots; the tool will simultaneously trim excess wire. Use the integrated pulling hook if additional leverage is required to seat the connector, and the release blade to disengage connectors safely when needed.

Recommendations

For reliable terminations, ensure conductors are correctly ordered and straight before insertion. Do not use the tool on conductors outside the specified diameter range (0.4–0.8 mm). Store the tool in a dry place and inspect the cutting surfaces periodically for wear.
