About the Installation & Maintenance Tools range

Choose the tool by the cable, connector or installation task first. For data cabling, check whether the tool suits Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 or another cable type, then confirm the supported outer diameter and conductor size. For crimping, match the tool and replacement blades to the connector and crimp tool model. BNC removal tools are selected by their intended connector access and tool length. For safety wire, compare the wire diameter and length with the fixture, attachment points and site requirements.

Check the exact model before ordering, especially when replacing blades or choosing a connector tool. A cable jacket stripper removes the outer sheath, while a wire stripper prepares individual conductors, so they are not interchangeable for every task. Cat5 and Cat6 tools may differ in cable diameter and construction. BNC removal tools can have different lengths and access profiles. Safety wire measurements are listed in both metric and imperial units, so compare both before buying. Work on de-energised circuits and follow applicable site procedures.

Installation & Maintenance Tools questions

Which cable stripper do I need for Cat5 or Cat6 cable?

Choose a tool specifically listed for the cable category and diameter you are using. Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 cables can vary in jacket size and construction. Check the product specifications, and test the stripping depth on a short off-cut first to avoid damaging the conductors.

Are replacement crimp tool blades interchangeable?

No. Replacement blades are matched to particular crimp tool models and connector systems. Check the model number of your existing tool before ordering. For example, replacement blades listed for an EZ-RJ45 crimp tool should not be assumed to fit another crimper.

What size safety wire should I use for a lighting fixture?

Select the length and diameter required by the fixture, attachment points and applicable site or venue procedures. Compare the metric and imperial measurements carefully, because a thicker wire may not pass through the available eyelet or attachment point. Confirm the required method with the responsible technician or venue.
