2-231652-0

The 2-231652-0 is a Modular Plug Hand Tool without die. It is designed to terminate modular plug connectors onto stranded or solid, shielded or unshielded flat oval cable or round cable. The tool also cuts and strips unshielded flat oval cable. Other cable must be prepared by separate tools. The die set consists of a nest and an indenter, each marked with a color-code dot. The die set is held in the tool by a single die-holding screw. Each die set is unique to its purpose, but die sets can be interchanged to accommodate any modular plug. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the handles have been fully closed, unless the ratchet release (pawl) is depressed to manually release the ratchet. When depressed, the pawl prevents crimping of an improperly positioned modular plug.
