π οΈ HY-376Z (6p, 8p) is a multi-purpose modular crimping tool with a ratcheting mechanism, designed for RJ45 (8P8C) and RJ12/11 (6P6C) plugs. It combines crimping and cable-prep tasks in one tool: jacket/insulation stripping, cutting, and trimming wire ends on pass-through (EZ-RJ45) connectors.
β
Key functions
- βοΈ Cutting cable and conductors
