Solsop Crimper Kit 28 RJ45 Crimp Tool Kit with Cable Tester and Pass-Through Connectors

At 11 inches long and 4 inches wide, the Solsop Crimper Kit 28 brings several Ethernet cable tasks together in one tool set. Its pass-through design lets you see the wire order at the connector before crimping, which is useful when assembling custom-length cables or replacing a damaged end.

The crimper handles cutting, stripping, and crimping for Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7 cables, as well as standard and pass-through RJ45 connectors and RJ11/RJ12 connectors. It supports shielded and unshielded modular plugs, including plugs with metal dovetail clips.

A network cable tester, mini wire stripper, replacement blades, 50 Cat6 pass-through connectors, and 50 connector boots round out the kit. It gives home networking, office, security-system, and small IT projects a practical set of tools for making and checking cable connections.

What stands out

Pass-through connectors make the wire arrangement visible before the crimp, so you can check the sequence at the point where the connection is made. The tool also has a wiring diagram to help with straight-through and crossover cable layouts, including T568A and T568B terminations. This offers a more guided approach than crimping with a standard connector that hides the wire ends before the connection is finished.

The included tester works with RJ45, RJ11, and RJ12 cables, with a stated test range of up to 300M. For a new cable run or a repaired cable, that gives you a way to check the connection as part of the same task. The tester uses a 9V battery, which is not included.

Buyers often praise the kit’s ease of use and versatility for different skill levels. Feedback on crimping consistency, connector performance, and durability is mixed, so careful wire alignment and a check with the tester are sensible parts of the process.

Quick overview

This is a yellow RJ45 crimper kit with an ergonomic, non-slip grip and metal handle. Its compact format is designed for one-handed operation and convenient storage. The crimping tool, tester, and cable-preparation accessories are suited to cable assembly and repair rather than to a single connector task.

The set includes the RJ45 pass-through crimp tool, 50 Cat6 pass-through connectors, 50 connector boots, a network cable tester, a mini wire stripper, replacement blades, and a user manual. Having connectors and boots on hand is useful when preparing several cable ends for a small installation or keeping supplies ready for routine network work.

Getting the most from it

Start by stripping the cable and arranging the conductors in the order needed for the intended connection. The pass-through format lets the wire ends extend through the connector, making their order visible before crimping. The diagram on the tool can help when setting up a straight-through cable with the same T568A or T568B standard at both ends, or a crossover cable with a different standard at each end.

After crimping, use the tester with a compatible RJ45, RJ11, or RJ12 cable to check the connection. This workflow is useful for home network repairs, custom patch cables, office cabling, and small security-system projects where making and checking cable ends are part of the same job.

What to clarify

Which cable categories can the crimper handle? It is designed for Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7 cables. It also supports standard and pass-through RJ45 connectors, along with RJ11/RJ12 connectors.

Can it be used with shielded cable? Yes. The tool is suitable for shielded and unshielded modular plugs, including pass-through plugs with metal dovetail clips.

What does the tester work with? The included network cable tester is for RJ45, RJ11, and RJ12 cables and has a stated test range of up to 300M. It requires a 9V battery, which is not included.

Is it worth it?

For someone who wants one kit for preparing, terminating, and checking Ethernet cable ends, the Solsop Crimper Kit 28 combines the core tool with pass-through connectors, boots, a tester, and cable-preparation accessories. Its broad cable-category support and visible wire alignment make it a useful fit for home networking, office repairs, and small installation projects.
