IDEAL FT-45 Feed-Thru Modular Plug Data Crimper with 10-Pack Cat6 Rj45 Modular Plug Bundle

This set includes the IDEAL FT-45 Feed-Thru Modular Plug Data Crimper and a 10-Pack Cat6 Rj45 Modular Plug. The FT-45 is a simple, compact and highly effective Crimp Tool for installers and techs that terminate RJ-45 connectors regularly. A single crimp cavity for RJ-45 8-position connectors that can be used with Feed-Thru, standard, or shielded connectors for CAT5e or CAT6. Includes a custom, heavy duty cutting blade that will last for over 2,000 cuts. A mechanical design that requires only 1/3 to 1/2 the hand force of traditional tools to crimp the connector - no ratchet mechanism is needed and one handed crimping is possible. The CAT6A/6/5e connector is made to work with cables - shielded or unshielded, that have larger insulated conductor diameters that typically will not fit into a standard in-line modular plug design. Utilizing a unique conductor and pin stagger pattern, the single-piece design helps to funnel the conductors through the connector and out of the Feed-Thru end. No load bars or multi-piece assemblies are required. The connector is then terminated with the FT-45 Crimp Tool. No adjustments or blade changes are required to the FT- 45 to use this connector. The connector is designed for thicker 0.04-inch through 0.048-inch insulated conductors, typically found in CAT6A, CAT6, and CAT5e shielded cables. Shield continuity can be made internally by folding the cable foil over the jacket and making contact with the inside of the connector walls or externally by wrapping the cable drain wire around the base of the jacket strain relief clip . The jacket strain relief clip is pre-positioned in the up-position so cable insertion is simplified. The pre-formed clip can be closed and crimped with a standard needle nose or plier-nose device like the IDEAL 33-719 or other IDEAL T-strippers wire strippers.
