UGREEN Crimping Tool NW136 – RJ45 & RJ11 Cable Crimper, Cutter and Stripper

The UGREEN RJ45 crimping tool is a three-function hand tool designed for preparing and terminating network and telephone cables — crimping modular plugs onto Cat 5 through Cat 7 Ethernet cables and RJ11 telephone leads, stripping jacket and insulation, and cutting cable cleanly to length. It handles 8P (RJ45) and 6P (RJ11/RJ12) plug formats in a single tool, removing the need to carry separate cutters and strippers alongside a crimper. Furthermore, the Q235 carbon structural steel head and SK5 blade construction bring professional-grade material standards to a compact, field-portable format weighing 282 g.

Use Cases and Applications

Custom Ethernet Cable Termination

Network installers who run bulk cable through walls, ceilings, or cable trays terminate each end on-site rather than using pre-made patch leads. The NW136 crimps RJ45 plugs onto Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 cable ends after stripping and trimming the conductors — producing a cable precisely sized for the run, without excess length. This approach reduces cost per metre compared to buying pre-terminated patch cables, particularly across larger installations.

VOIP and Telephone Line Work

VOIP handset deployments, PBX installations, and DSL terminations require RJ11 and RJ12 connectors on telephone-grade cable. The NW136’s 6P crimp dies handle 6P6C, 6P4C, and 6P2C plug configurations, making it directly applicable alongside the VOIP hardware — Fanvil, Yealink, and Yeastar equipment — already in the catalogue.

Field Service and Repair

Technicians attending site faults often encounter damaged or incorrectly terminated cable ends that require re-crimping. The compact 194.5 mm length fits in a standard tool bag, and the integrated stripper and cutter mean cable preparation through to final crimping completes without switching tools. Additionally, the blade guard protects the cutting edges during transport and storage.

Home Network Self-Installation

Home users running their own structured wiring — for instance, connecting a router to a wall socket or a NAS drive to a switch — can terminate their own RJ45 plugs rather than purchasing pre-made cables of fixed lengths. The NW136’s labour-saving handle mechanism makes this accessible without specialist technique, and compatibility across Cat 5 to Cat 7 means it remains useful as cabling standards evolve.
