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.
Conductors trimmed to the correct length by the tool - no measuring
Verify conductor order before crimping
Long-lasting replaceable blade
Eliminates wasted connectors due to incorrect assembly
The tool is compact, 5-1/2-in length and weighs just over 1/2 lb, about half the size and weight of bulkier traditional tools
Easily fits in your pocket and lightens the tool bag load
568A and 568B wiring scheme marked on tool
Cleanly shears the excess conductors and leaves a smooth, flat finish to the end face of the connector
Protrusions or small lengths of conductor will not remain beyond the plastic face of the connector
