4. Налаштування
Before beginning any crimping task, ensure the tool is correctly set up for the type of cable and modular plug you are using.
4.1 Adjusting the Regulating Screw
The CP-335N features a regulating screw to accommodate different cable jacket thicknesses, particularly for CAT.7 and CAT.5/6 cables. This ensures proper crimping depth for both shielded and unshielded cables.
Image 4.1: The regulating screw allows adjustment for CAT.5/6 and CAT.6A/7 cables, ensuring proper crimping depth.
- Locate the regulating screw near the crimping dies.
- Use a small screwdriver to turn the screw.
- Adjust the screw to the appropriate setting for your cable type:
- CAT.5/6: Adjust for standard CAT.5 or CAT.6 cables.
- CAT.6A/7: Adjust for thicker CAT.6A or CAT.7 cables, which often have larger diameters or shielding.
5. Інструкція з експлуатації
Follow these steps for cutting, stripping, and crimping network cables using the Pro'sKit CP-335N tool.
5.1 Cutting the Cable
The integrated sharp blade allows for effortless and clean cable cuts.
Image 5.1: The sharp blade of the CP-335N ensures clean cuts for network cables.
- Open the tool handles.
- Place the cable into the designated "CUT" slot.
- Squeeze the handles firmly until the cable is cleanly cut.
5.2 Stripping the Cable
The tool includes a stripping function to remove the outer jacket of the cable, exposing the internal wires.
- Open the tool handles.
- Place the end of the cable into the designated "STRIP" slot. Ensure the cable is inserted to the desired stripping length (typically 1/2 to 3/4 inch or 12-19mm for RJ45 connectors).
- Squeeze the handles firmly and rotate the tool around the cable a few times to score the jacket.
- Release the handles and carefully pull the stripped jacket off the cable.
5.3 Crimping Modular Plugs
The parallel crimping action ensures a precise and secure connection between the cable and the modular plug.

Image 5.3: The parallel crimping mechanism ensures reliable, accurate, and efficient crimps.
- After stripping the cable, arrange the individual wires according to the desired wiring standard (e.g., T568A or T568B for RJ45).
- Carefully insert the arranged wires into the modular plug, ensuring they reach the end of the connector and the cable jacket is seated correctly within the plug's strain relief.
- Select the appropriate crimping die on the tool:
- 8P: For 8-position plugs (e.g., RJ45, CAT.5/6/7).
- 6P: For 6-position plugs (e.g., RJ11/RJ12).
- Insert the modular plug into the selected crimping die. Ensure it is fully seated and aligned.
- Squeeze the tool handles firmly and completely until the crimping cycle is finished. The parallel action will ensure all pins are properly seated and the strain relief is crimped.
- For CAT.7 plugs with metal clips, ensure the metal clip crimp area is also utilized if applicable.
- Release the handles and remove the crimped plug. Inspect the crimp for proper pin seating and secure connection.
