IDEAL 30-696 Ratchet Telemaster Crimp Tool

Get dependable, repeatable modular plug crimps for network, security and surveillance cabling with the IDEAL Industries Ratchet Telemaster crimp tool (model 30-696). Built for daily professional use in data, telecommunications and low-voltage security installs, this crimp tool delivers consistent full-cycle crimps for Cat5e/6 RJ-45 (8P8C) and RJ-11/12 (6P6C/6P4C) connectors. The ratchet mechanism guarantees each crimp completes fully before release, eliminating under-crimps that can cause intermittent network or monitoring failures. Precision-ground crimp dies and a black oxide-coated steel frame keep connector contacts evenly seated and the tool aligned under heavy use, while cushioned handles and a heavier-duty design reduce hand force and fatigue during long runs. It also cuts and strips UTP/STP and flat cable jackets, reducing tool changes and speeding installs for surveillance cameras, access control, and network monitoring systems. For technicians who demand rugged reliability and first-time success, the IDEAL 30-696 Ratchet Telemaster is an essential crimp tool—add it to your kit to streamline security, telecommunications, and networking installations.
