Detailed information
The FT-45® RJ45 Crimp tool is your ideal companion for clean cable cuts and effortless crimping of RJ45 modular plugs in data and PoE applications. At just two-thirds the size of traditional crimpers, this lightweight, pocket-sized tool is built for portability and convenience on any job site. This palm-sized tool is the fast and reliable solution for the precise and accurate termination of feed-thru, standard, shielded, and large diameter connectors for CAT5e/CAT6/CAT6A. The replaceable blade is custom-designed to make quick, precise cuts to the conductors flush with the modular plug face, preventing accidental contact between adjacent wires or the mating jack. Each blade has a long-lasting lifespan of more than 2,000 cuts before a replacement is necessary. The RJ45 crimp cavity has a wide opening for obstruction-free inserts and a spring-loaded handle with added grip that reduces the hand force required while in use. Don’t cut corners with your tools. Get the all-in-one FT-45 Feed-Thru Crimp Tool from IDEAL Electrical™ that delivers quicker crimps and error-free conductor cuts – all in one simple step.

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
