The IDEAL Feed-Thru Solution
IDEAL’s complete Feed-Thru Solution offers data terminations that are fast, simple and reliable.
STEP 1: Strip Cable
Use the PrepPRO® Stripper to cleanly score the cable jacket without nicking inner conductors. Just insert cable and spin!
STEP 2: Insert & Verify
Align conductors and feed into the single-piece RJ45 connectors – you’ll be able to verify the wires are in the correct order prior to crimping.
STEP 3: Crimp
Finally, use the FT-45™ tool to crimp and cleanly shear the conductor ends with one squeeze.
The Result:
The ability to feed conductors through the connector allows you to verify they are in the correct sequence prior to crimping, virtually eliminating errors. The FT-45 tool cleanly trims the conductors flush, ensuring consistent connections every time.
Absolute Accuracy, Everytime.
The FT-45® Feed-Thru crimp tool is your ideal companion for effortless crimping of RJ45 connectors with clean cut cable ends. Count on reliable connections every time.
