Proster RJ45 Pass-Through Crimping Tool Kit with 50 Cat6 Plugs

Measuring 13.5 x 3.2 cm, the Proster RJ45 pass-through crimping tool is a compact choice for preparing network cables at home or in a small office. Its all-in-one design brings cutting, stripping and crimping together, so you can handle several cable-preparation steps with one tool.

The kit is designed for 8-position RJ45 pass-through connectors and includes Cat6 plugs and protective covers. A non-slip ergonomic handle supports a secure grip during use, while the compact format is easy to store with other DIY networking equipment.

Key points

The tool combines three practical jobs: stripping the cable, cutting it and crimping the connector. Pass-through connectors let the conductors extend through the plug before crimping, and the tool is designed to cut the excess conductors during that process. This makes it useful when fitting RJ45 connectors to Ethernet cables for a home network or small-office setup.

The set includes 50 Cat6 RJ45 plugs, 50 protective covers and a mini wire stripper, alongside the crimping tool. That gives you the key items for preparing connector-ended cables, whether you are making a new cable or replacing a connector as part of a DIY networking task. Its non-slip handle is made from eco-friendly materials and is described as easy to clean.

Buyers highlight the tool’s versatility for DIY projects, with some also praising its build and the supplied connectors. Feedback on ease of use, crimping, cutting and durability is mixed, so careful cable preparation and correct use of the pass-through mechanism matter. Compared with assembling a separate crimper, stripper and cutter, this set brings those functions into one compact tool.

Getting the most from it

Use it with 8-position RJ45 pass-through connectors, Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 are among the cable types named for this kit. The supplied Cat6 plugs and covers make it a practical set for jobs where you want to terminate several cables, rather than buying a crimping tool on its own and sourcing connectors separately.

For a cable run in a home office, for example, the tool can strip the cable jacket, help prepare the conductors and crimp the plug, with the excess conductor ends cut during crimping. The compact 13.5 x 3.2 cm format is also convenient for keeping in a small home networking toolkit.

How to use it

Strip enough cable for the conductors to pass through the connector, if the stripped section is too short, the excess wire may not be cut during crimping. Once the plug is crimped, open the handles fully before removing it. The kit also includes a mini stripper for cable preparation. Following these steps helps the pass-through connector sit correctly in the tool and release cleanly after crimping.

Practical questions

What connector does the tool use? It is designed for 8-position RJ45 pass-through connectors, which allow the conductors to extend through the plug before the tool cuts the excess during crimping.

What is included in the set? The kit contains one RJ45 pass-through crimping tool, a mini wire stripper, 50 Cat6 RJ45 plugs and 50 protective covers.

Can it be used for Cat5 and Cat5e cable? Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 are listed for the tool. The supplied plugs are Cat6, and the crimping tool is intended for 8-position RJ45 pass-through connectors.

Should you buy it?

For home network and small-office cable work, this Proster set brings the main preparation functions into one compact tool and supplies plugs and covers for connector-fitting jobs. It suits DIY users who want to terminate Ethernet cables themselves, with the pass-through design helping handle conductor trimming as part of the crimping step.
