Pince à sertir les câbles Knipex 97 90 17

The Knipex 97 90 17 cable crimper is a precision hand tool designed for consistent crimping of a variety of connector types on network and electrical cables. With compact dimensions (265 mm width, 67 mm depth, 170 mm height) and a total weight of 1.45 kg, this multicolour crimping tool combines sturdy construction with ergonomic handling to support repetitive work in installation and maintenance tasks. The tool is manufactured from high-quality materials to provide long service life and steady crimp results.

Advantages

The crimper delivers reliable and repeatable crimps thanks to its precisely machined jaw geometry and robust build. Its ergonomic size and weight reduce operator fatigue during extended use, while the multicolour finish improves visibility in crowded toolkits. The tool’s construction emphasizes durability and low maintenance, making it suitable for frequent professional use as well as for DIY projects that require accurate connector termination.

Suitable for

• Crimping connectors on network cables (RJ, modular connectors) and small electrical terminals
• Field installation and on-site maintenance for network and telecom systems
• Workshop use for cable assembly, repairs and custom harness production
• DIY electronics and home network installations requiring reliable connector termination

How to use

Position the connector and the stripped conductor in the appropriate crimping zone of the tool, then apply steady pressure to the handles until the crimp is completed. Inspect the crimp visually and, where appropriate, perform a pull test to confirm mechanical integrity. For different connector types, ensure correct placement in the jaw to avoid deformation. Clean the tool jaws periodically and check for wear to maintain consistent crimp quality.

Recommendations

Use the Knipex 97 90 17 with connectors and cable types that match the tool’s jaw geometry. Avoid using the crimper on materials or connector sizes beyond its intended range. Store the tool in a dry place, apply light lubrication to pivot points as needed, and inspect jaws regularly to ensure continued precision.
