ABSTRACT:
Electrical apparatus for connecting insulated wires of a multi-pair electrical cable to an outlet, including a connector having an opening which receives a plurality of insulated wires in an essentially flat parallel configuration and extends through the connector to allow the ends of the insulated wires to protrude from its remote end, the connector also having a plurality of metal contacts supported in a movable relation perpendicular to the insulated wires; a crimping tool having jaws closable both for crimping the connector to support the insulated wires against longitudinal stress and also for causing the metal contacts to pierce insulation coverings of and conductively engage respective wires in the connector; and a cutting blade supported on the crimping tool and operable during the closing action of the jaws for cutting off the protruding ends of the wires.
