Platinum Tools 13159C Pro-strike Punchdown Tool

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 13159C is a professional-grade punchdown tool designed for terminating low-voltage data and voice cabling at keystone jacks, patch panels, and 110 or 66 blocks. Built for repeated use in commercial and residential structured wiring installations, the Pro-Strike delivers consistent termination force with each strike, reducing mis-seats and wire damage. It is the standard choice for low-voltage technicians and datacom installers who need a reliable, durable tool for high-volume punchdown work. Sold as an individual unit, it is suited for both new construction wiring and retrofit or service work.

The 13159C is used in structured cabling installations across commercial offices, data centers, schools, and residential low-voltage applications. Typical install scenarios include terminating Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A cable at 110-style keystone jacks and patch panels. Low-voltage technicians and voice-data-video installers reach for this tool during initial cable termination and during troubleshooting or retermination work.

Key Features

• Pro-Strike impact mechanism delivers consistent, controlled termination force
• Compatible with standard 110 and 66 punchdown block styles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style professional punchdown tool for use with standard 110 and 66 punchdown blocks, keystone jacks, and patch panels common in structured low-voltage cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any active circuits at the panel or jack before terminating conductors. Use the correct blade type for the block style being terminated, and confirm the blade orientation before striking to avoid damaging the insulation displacement contacts.
