IDEAL FT-45 Feed-Thru Modular Plug Data Crimper with 25-Pack Cat6 Rj45 Modular Plug Bundle

This set includes the IDEAL FT-45 Feed-Thru Modular Plug Data Crimper (30-495) and a 25-Pack Cat6 Rj45 Modular Plug (85-375). 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 CAT6 Feed-Thru connectors are single piece connectors that use the same assembly process, no special assembly or multiple pieces for CAT6. Open-end Feed-Thru connectors offer several advantages over standard closed end connectors. Conductor order can be verified prior to crimping. Conductors that Feed-Thru the connector are inserted far enough to be pierced by the pin below. The cable can be pushed or pulled into the connector to ensure that the twisted pairs are as close to the pin contacts as possible and that the jacket is seated beyond the primary strain relief for a secure connection. A patent pending design enables conductors to be cut flush with the end face of the connector when used with the FT-45™ tool.
