Klein Tools VDV226-011-SEN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Klein VDV226-011-SEN crimp RJ45 Cat6 plugs, or is it only for phone connectors?
It handles both. The VDV226-011-SEN has three dies, 8-position, 6-position and 4-position, so it crimps RJ45, RJ11/RJ12 and RJ22 plugs, and the cable types listed are CAT3, CAT5e and CAT6/6A. One tool covers the voice and data work on a low-voltage rough-in.
2) Can I use this Klein crimper on AMP modular connectors?
No. The VDV226-011-SEN is built for Western Electric (WE)/Stewart Stamping (SS)-type modular connectors and is specifically not for use with AMP connectors. AMP plugs use a different die geometry, so you need a tool made for that style.
3) Is this crimper insulated for work in a live panel or near energized circuits?
No, and this matters. The VDV226-011-SEN is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock. Klein's instructions say never use it on or near live electrical circuits, and to wear approved eye protection. It is a voice/data termination tool, not an electrician's insulated hand tool.
4) What wire gauge can this modular crimper strip and cut?
28-22 AWG (.08 to .34 mm2), flat or round, solid or stranded telephone and data cable. That covers round STP/UTP and flat-satin phone cable, and the tool cuts, strips and crimps in one pass.
5) What does the full-cycle ratchet actually do for me on a plug termination?
The ratchet won't release the connector until it reaches full compression, so you can't pull out a half-crimped plug and leave intermittent contacts behind. There's also a safety release if you need to back out of a bad seat, plus a blade guard on the cutting and stripping knives.
6) Can the blades be replaced when they dull, or do I buy a whole new crimper?
Blades are serviceable. Klein offers a replacement blade set, Cat. No. VDV999-064, for the VDV226-011-SEN, so a shop running high plug counts can rebuild the cutting and stripping edges instead of replacing the tool. The crimping dies themselves are precision ground from high-carbon steel.
7) Do I need a separate stripper and snips to terminate patch cords with this tool?
No. The VDV226-011-SEN cuts, strips and crimps paired-conductor cable in one tool, both round STP/UTP and flat-satin phone cable, so field-building patch cords or phone cords needs nothing else in hand beyond the plugs. Note it is a modular plug crimper, not a punchdown tool, so jacks and 110 blocks still need a punchdown.
8) How big is this crimper, and will it fit in a pouch on my belt?
Pocket and pouch sized: 7.5 in by 4.0 in by 0.9 in, at a listed 0.1 lbs. The steel body carries a black-oxide finish, and the yellow and black grips make it easy to spot in a tool bag or at the bottom of a bucket.
9) What is the exact Klein part number to order this ratcheting modular crimper?
Order Klein Tools VDV226-011-SEN. That is the manufacturer part number for the ratcheting modular crimper/stripper with the 8, 6 and 4 position dies.
