• Tallador de filferro: Integrated blade for cutting network cables to the desired length.
• Pelador de cables: Blade designed for stripping the outer jacket of network cables without damaging the internal wires.
• Mànecs ergonòmics: Dissenyat per a una subjecció còmoda i una reducció de la fatiga de la mà durant un ús prolongat.
• Mecanisme de bloqueig: A latch or ring to keep the tool closed when not in use for safe storage.

5. Configuració

The UGREEN NW136 crimp tool requires minimal setup before use. Ensure you have the following materials:

• UGREEN NW136 Crimp Tool
• Bulk Ethernet or telephone cable (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6)
• RJ45, RJ11, or RJ12 connectors

No assembly is required for the tool itself. Simply unlock the handles if they are in the closed position.

6. Operating Instructions: Crimping an Ethernet Cable

Follow these steps to properly crimp an RJ45 connector onto an Ethernet cable. The process is similar for RJ11/RJ12 connectors, adjusting for the number of wires.

6.1. Prepare the Cable

1. Cut the Cable: Use the integrated wire cutter on the crimp tool to cut the Ethernet cable to the desired length. Ensure a clean, straight cut.
2. Strip the Outer Jacket: Carefully insert the end of the cable into the stripping slot of the tool. Rotate the tool around the cable 1-2 times to score the insulation, then pull the stripped jacket off. Aim to strip about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (1.2 to 1.9 cm) of the outer jacket. Be careful not to cut the internal wires.
3. Desenrotllar i redreçar els cables: Untwist the four pairs of wires and straighten them out. Arrange them according to the desired wiring standard (e.g., T568A or T568B).
4. Cables de retall: Once arranged, hold the wires flat and trim them evenly, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) of exposed, straightened wires. This ensures they reach the pins inside the connector.

6.2. Insert Connector and Crimp

5. Inseriu els cables al connector: Carefully push the straightened and trimmed wires into the RJ45 connector, ensuring each wire slides into its correct channel and reaches the front of the connector, making contact with the metal pins. The cable jacket should extend slightly into the connector body for strain relief.
6. Place Connector in Crimp Tool: Insert the loaded RJ45 connector into the appropriate crimping die (8P8C slot) on the UGREEN NW136 tool. Ensure it is seated firmly and correctly.
7. Crimpa el connector: Squeeze the handles of the crimp tool firmly and completely until you hear a click or feel the tool bottom out. This action pushes the metal pins down into the wires, making electrical contact, and simultaneously crimps the strain relief tab onto the cable jacket.

6.3. Verify the Crimp

After crimping, visually inspect the connector to ensure all pins are properly seated and the cable jacket is securely held by the strain relief. For best results, use a cable tester to verify continuity and correct wiring of all pins.

7. Manteniment

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your UGREEN NW136 crimp tool:

• Neteja: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, debris, or wire fragments.
• Lubricació: Apliqueu periòdicament una petita quantitat d'oli lleuger per a màquines als punts de pivot i a les peces mòbils per garantir un funcionament suau.
• Substitució de la fulla: The cutting and stripping blades are sharp but can dull over time. If you notice poor cutting performance, replace the blades. The tool typically comes with replacement blades. Refer to the tool's design for specific blade replacement instructions, usually involving unscrewing small fasteners.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the tool in its closed and locked position in a dry environment to prevent rust and damage.
