RJ-45 Plug Crimper
The crimped blade height of an RJ-45 modular plug is a crucial consideration that must not be ignored. As per the ISO/IEC 60603-7 standard, the acceptable blade height should be between 6.15mm and 5.89mm. Because the blade height plays a vital role in maintaining continuity during mating with a modular jack, it's essential to be cautious when choosing the right crimper. Furthermore, it's important to routinely check the die for signs of wear and tear after multiple crimping operations.
