MODULAR PLUG CRIMP TOOL: FT-45 is a simple, compact and highly effective modular plug crimp tool for installers and techs to terminate RJ-45 connectors on to CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT6A twisted pair cable.
COMPATIBILITY: This tool works with both IDEAL Feed-Thru Modular plugs and standard modular plugs. Feed-Thru plugs allow the individual conductors to "feed-thru" the end-face of the connector and to verify the wires prior to crimping connector.
PRECISE TERMINATION: During crimping, the FT-45 crimp tool cleanly shears the excess conductors and leaves a smooth finish at the end face of the Feed-Thru connector. This minimizes accidental shorting of conductors or inadvertent contact in plug jacks.
VERSATILITY: FT-45 is designed to crimp IDEAL Feed-Thru, standard and shielded RJ-45 connectors for CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6A cables. It is compatible with many non-IDEAL connectors as well. One tool covers current and future twisted pair applications.
SPECIFICATIONS: This patented tool requires only 1/3 to 1/2 the hand force as compared to traditional tools to crimp the connector. The crimping tool is 5 ½ in long and weighs approx. 1/2lb. It easily fits in your pocket and lightens the tool bag load.
Description The IDEAL FT-45 Feed-Thru Mod Plug Crimp Tool is a simple, compact and highly effective crimp tool for installers and techs that terminates RJ45 connectors regularly. It has a single crimp cavity for RJ-5/8 position connectors that can be used with Feed-Thru, standard or shielded connectors for CAT-5E or CAT-6, a custom, replaceable, and heavy-duty cutting blade that will last for over 2,000 cuts and 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 1-handed crimping is possible. The tool is compact, 5 1/2 in. in length and weighs just over 1/2 lb. It has a textured grip, spring-loaded handle, locking hasp and has the 568A and 568B wiring scheme marked on it. A larger opening allows conductors to pass-thru without obstruction. The metal crimp cavity improves crimping consistency. The FT-45 cleanly shears the excess conductors and leaves a smooth flat finish to the end face of the connector. No protrusions or small lengths of conductor remain beyond the plastic face or the connector. This minimizes accidental shorting of conductors or inadvertent contact in plug jacks.
