Tools

Tools and mounting hardware for security and cabling installations.

What you'll find in this collection

• Cable testers for RJ11, RJ12 and RJ45, to check every outlet before you sign the installation off.
• Plier sets and hand tools for assembly work.
• Nylon cable ties: from 2.5 × 200 mm to 4.8 × 370 mm, with UNEX indoor and outdoor versions and flag ties for labelling.
• Cable management: 2.5 m spiral wrap and flexible braided sleeving to bundle cable runs and keep the rack tidy.

A tip: testing every run when you finish takes five minutes and saves you a return visit the next day. Most "camera faults" are in fact a badly crimped connector.

Network-specific tools — crimpers, punch-down tools and cable tracers — are in Network Tools.
