It enables accurate, consistent crimping of Extron XTP DTP 24 Plugs on XTP DTP 24 plenum and non-plenum shielded twisted pair cables, while also supporting other modular shielded or unshielded RJ-45 plug types. In a single cycle, the die simultaneously crimps the plug contact pins, metal strain relief, and grounding shield to create reliable, high-performance connections for digital twisted pair signals including video, audio, control, and power transmission in professional AV systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis user-replaceable die ensures long-term tool functionality for installers and technicians fabricating custom cables in classrooms, conference rooms, control rooms, and large-scale networked AV deployments.
