Question 1

description and customer comments say it works great on flat cables

how does it do on round cables?

thanks

Accepted Answer

The only thing I've noticed with round cables is that you have to be careful in stripping the outer insulation: if you cut too deeply, you can cut into the insulation on the individual wires inside. But that's going to be the case for any stripping/crimping tool.

(What I do is just barely score the outside insulation with the stripping blade, then pull off the scored section of the insulation by hand. Then I untwist the pairs just enough to line them up with the RJ-45 plug and insert them. Sometimes I have to pull the pairs in unison out from the shielding a little more, because ALL of the wires have to be deep enough into the plug that the teeth bite through them when you crimp.)

Question 2

Is this tool is good for CAT7 cable?

Accepted Answer

It's good for cat 7, 6, 5 ,5e the type of cable does not matter because the ethernet plug is the same size as all others

Question 3

How does the ratchet locking mechanism work?

Accepted Answer

It ratchets down based on the notches in the metal and will not release until it reaches bottom point determined by the screw or is released with the release lever.
