DataShark 70034 110 Non-Impact Punchdown Tool Blue by Greenlee

Description

Product Overview

The DataShark 70034 110 punchdown tool is engineered for technicians who demand precision, durability, and ease of use in every cable termination task. Constructed from high‑grade hardened steel, the blade resists wear and maintains a sharp edge even after thousands of insertions, guaranteeing consistent performance on both UTP and STP cables. The tool features a single 110‑style blade that aligns perfectly with industry‑standard keystone jacks, ensuring a clean, non‑impact connection that reduces stress on the cable and the connector. Its compact dimensions—1.5 x 3.9 x 9.75 inches—make it easy to carry in a tool belt or toolbox, while the lightweight design (0.01 ounces) minimizes hand fatigue during extended use. The vibrant blue handle is molded from a high‑impact polymer that provides a secure grip, even in wet or oily conditions, and the ergonomic shape distributes pressure evenly across the hand, allowing for smooth operation without the need for excessive force.

Usage

This tool is ideal for a wide range of applications, from residential networking projects to large‑scale commercial installations. Whether you are terminating Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cables into wall plates, patch panels, or surface‑mount boxes, the DataShark 70034 110 delivers reliable results. Its manual operation mode means no batteries or external power sources are required, making it perfect for on‑site work where portability is essential. The tool excels in telecom closets, data centers, and field deployments where quick, repeatable terminations are critical to maintaining network uptime. It is also well suited for educational environments, allowing students to practice proper punchdown techniques without the risk of damaging delicate components. The non‑impact design reduces the likelihood of cracking or deforming the insulation of high‑frequency cables, preserving signal integrity and extending the lifespan of the network infrastructure.
