FT45 FEED THRU RJ45 CRIMP TOOL

FT45 IDEAL CRIMP TOOL

Compact design – 2/3 the size of traditional crimpers

Trims wires flush with connector end

Works on feed-thru, standard and shielded modular plugs

For CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6a RJ-45 connectors

Easier plug assembly with feed-thru design

Large connector cavity window for unobstructed wire pass-thru

Don‘t let it‘s size fool you. The FT-45™ is a simple, compact and highly effective modular plug crimp tool for installers and techs that terminate RJ-45 connectors regularly.

Instead of another traditional oversized, heavy, crimp tool style loaded with features that are rarely used or that just don‘t work well, we took this tool in a new direction.

It‘s built for today and tomorrow, not the past.

This tool was designed to work seamlessly with the IDEAL Feed-Thru Modular plugs, and is compatible with other feed-thru style connectors.

A major benefit of Feed-Thru plugs is that they allow the individual conductors to "feed-thru" the end-face of the connector allowing the user to verify the wires are in the

correct order prior to crimping the connector.

During crimping, the FT-45™ cleanly shears the excess conductors and leaves a smooth, flat finish to the end face of the IDEAL Feed-Thru connector.

o protrusions or small lengths of conductor remain beyond the plastic face of the connector.

This minimizes accidental shorting of conductors or inadvertent contact in plug jacks.

Fitted with a single universal crimp cavity for RJ-45 / 8-position connectors that can be used with Feed-Thru, standard, or shielded connectors for CAT5e or CAT6.

No need to carry multiple tools for terminating RJ-45's.

A custom, heavy duty cutting blade that stays sharp, has minimal flex and will last for over 2,000 cuts before it needs replacing. Replacement blades are available (30-4951).

A patent pending 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 tool is compact, 5 1/2“ in length and weighs just over 1/2lb, about half the size and weight of bulkier traditional tools so it easily fits in your pocket.
