Kaapelipuristin Knipex 97 49 06

The Knipex 97 49 06 cable crimper is a compact, lightweight hand tool engineered for reliable crimping of cable ends and connectors used in network installations and electrical wiring. With a total weight of approximately 45 g and a slim, ergonomic profile in black, this crimper is intended to deliver precise mechanical pressure for consistent crimps while occupying minimal space in a toolbox or pocket.

Advantages

The tool combines low weight and compact dimensions with an ergonomic shape that supports comfortable one-handed operation and reduced fatigue during repeated use. Its design focuses on delivering uniform crimp force for secure electrical and network connections, and the small form factor enhances portability and accessibility in confined spaces. The black finish provides a neutral appearance and resistance to visible soiling.

Suitable for

• Crimping small cable connectors in network and telecommunications work
• Field service and maintenance tasks where portability is required
• Electrical and low-voltage installations requiring precise crimp joints
• DIY and hobby projects involving connector assembly

Key specifications

• Weight: approximately 0.045 kg
• Colour: black
• Tool type: manual cable crimper for connector crimping
• Size: compact, pocket-friendly design suitable for confined working areas

How to use

Select the appropriate connector and strip the cable to the manufacturer’s recommended length. Insert the stripped conductor and connector into the crimper’s jaw so that the conductor is positioned correctly within the contact barrel. Apply steady hand pressure to the handles until the crimp is completed. Inspect the crimp visually and, where applicable, test the electrical or network continuity to confirm a secure connection. Store the crimper in a dry place when not in use and avoid exposing it to corrosive chemicals.

Recommendations

Use the Knipex 97 49 06 cable crimper for small connectors and low-voltage cables. Match the connector type and conductor cross-section to the tool’s intended use, and follow connector manufacturers’ crimping specifications. For high-volume or large conductor crimps, consider using a heavier-duty or ratcheting crimper designed for those applications.
