Detailed information

The FT-45® Feed-Thru Modular Plug Crimp tool is your ideal companion for clean cable cuts and effortless crimping for RJ45 modular plugs. At 2/3 the size of traditional crimpers, the FT-45 is lightweight with a compact size that fits perfectly in your pocket for easy portability to the job site. This palm-sized tool is a reliable solution for crimping feed-thru, standard, shielded, and large diameter connectors for CAT5e/CAT6/CAT6A in just a few seconds. 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 equipment. Get the all-in-one FT-45 Feed-Thru Modular Plug from IDEAL Electrical™ for quicker crimping and error-free conductor cuts 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
