Shop tools and accessories for installing, terminating, testing and maintaining copper network and structured-cabling systems. Wallco offers termination tools, crimping tools, cable testers, replacement blades, strain-relief accessories and related hardware for commercial and industrial network installations.
Compare tools by termination system, connector type, cable category and intended application. Select installation accessories that match the cabling, jacks, plugs, cross-connect blocks and other components being installed.
Reliable copper network installations depend on more than cable, jacks and patch panels. Proper termination, testing and cable management require tools and accessories designed for the specific connector and cabling system being installed.
This category brings together equipment used to terminate twisted-pair cabling, install modular connectors, work with 110 and 66 cross-connect hardware, test completed cable runs and protect finished terminations.
Termination tools are used to seat conductors into compatible insulation-displacement contacts found in keystone jacks, patch panels and cross-connect blocks. Different termination systems can require different blades, heads or tool configurations.
When selecting a termination tool, verify compatibility with the specific jack, block or connecting clip being installed rather than assuming all punch-down systems use identical tooling.
110 and 66 cross-connect systems use specialized termination hardware. Installation tools may include single-position impact tools, multi-pair termination tools, interchangeable blades and replacement heads.
These tools support the physical installation of products found in Wallco's 110 & 66 Cross-Connect Systems category while remaining a separate product type for customers shopping specifically for installation equipment.
Modular crimping tools are used when terminating compatible plugs onto copper network or telecommunications cable. Tool compatibility can depend on plug design, conductor type and connector format.
Before choosing a crimper, confirm the connector type and cable construction used in the installation.
Copper cable testers help installers verify continuity, wiring arrangement and other basic characteristics of completed network connections. Testing after termination can identify wiring errors before the connection is placed into service.
The level of testing required depends on the application. Basic continuity testers and more advanced qualification or certification equipment serve different purposes.
Strain-relief boots and related accessories can help protect terminated modular connections and organize installed cabling. These components may also provide visual identification or additional protection around plugs and jacks.
Network installation accessories can include termination fixtures, dust covers, icon tabs, replacement components and other hardware used during installation or ongoing maintenance.
Because many of these accessories are system-specific, verify compatibility with the associated jack, panel, block or connector family before ordering.
Before selecting an installation tool, identify the cable category, connector system and termination hardware involved. Tools that appear similar may use different blades, termination mechanisms or connector dimensions.
