UGREEN 35971 NW304 8P/6P/4P Crimper, Cutter and Stripper

Overview

The UGREEN NW304 (35971) is a hand tool for making your own network and telephone cables. Its labelled dies crimp 8P, 6P and 4P modular plugs, and separate blade areas cut cable and strip the outer jacket from cable under 10 mm across. It suits home and small-office cabling jobs and installers who want one tool for crimping, cutting and stripping.

Is it right for you?

• Suits making or repairing Ethernet leads (8P plugs) and telephone leads (6P and 4P plugs) with standard modular plugs that fit the labelled dies.
• Suits cable with an outer diameter under 10 mm.
• It is not a tester, so pair it with a cable tester if you need to prove your work.
• Shielded, oversized, pass-through or proprietary plugs need their own compatibility check; the die labels do not make every Cat5 to Cat8 plug shape fit.

Key features

• Three crimp positions labelled 8P, 6P and 4P.
• Cutting blades and a stripping area for cable under 10 mm in diameter.
• SK5 steel blades and a Q235 carbon steel body.
• Manual tool: no power, batteries or software.

What else you need

• Modular plugs and cable that fit the dies and stripping area. A cable tester is not built in and is a separate purchase.

Before you buy

• Not a LAN tester, tone generator, punch-down tool, pass-through flush cutter or universal die for every shielded, oversized or proprietary plug.
• A plug or tool labelled for a category does not upgrade the rest of the cable, patch leads, terminations or equipment, and it cannot repair split pairs, poor conductors, corrosion or bad device ports.
• Test every lead before use; a visual check is not enough. Professional installations may require certification testing.
• Keep fingers clear of the blades and crimp dies and wear eye protection while cutting and crimping.
• Indoor use only: keep the tool dry, clean and away from corrosive environments or excessive heat.
• Never work on live mains. Network wiring is low voltage, but wall boxes and racks can sit near hazardous circuits.
