Klein Tools introduces the new LAN Explorer™ Data Cable Tester and Compact Pass-Thru™ Modular Crimper. The VDV526-100 tests voice and data cables for miswires, open faults, short faults and shield status. The VDV226-005 works with Pass-Thru™ connectors to reduce prep time with the capability to crimp Klein Tools’ RJ45 Pass-Thru™ connectors and trim conductor wires in one step. Both products augment Klein Tools’ existing Voice-Data-Video product line and feature pocket-sized, compact designs for easy, all-day carrying.
