IDEAL 30-496 Telemaster Modular Plug Crimp Tool

Get clean, dependable network and security cabling terminations every time with the IDEAL Industries Telemaster 30-496 modular plug crimp tool. Built for data, telecommunications and security/surveillance installers, this multifunction crimping & punch down tool crimps Cat5e/Cat6 RJ-45 and RJ-11/12 modular plugs with precision-ground contact dies that evenly seat all eight contacts to industry specifications. The steel-walled, black oxide coated frame and cushioned handles keep the connector stable and reduce tool flex, delivering reliable conductor-to-pin contact and minimizing port damage.

Beyond crimping, the Telemaster cuts and strips UTP/STP round cable jackets so technicians can complete terminations faster on structured cabling, monitoring systems and access control runs. At a compact 13" length and approximately 0.75 lb, it’s a lighter, more maneuverable alternative to ratcheting models without sacrificing quality. Ideal for network engineers, security integrators and AV contractors who need repeatable, professional results. Add the IDEAL Telemaster to your toolkit to boost installation speed and reduce call-backs on networking and surveillance projects—order now to standardize your terminations.
