Detailed information
Perfect for electricians and datacom installers, the IDEAL® FT-45® Feed-Thru Starter Kit includes all the tools and connectors required to install RJ45 connectors onto twisted pair cables. Including our FT-45® Crimp Tool, a compact, simple tool that fits easily in your pocket and works with ALL our feed-thru, shielded & standard RJ45 connectors. The FT-45® cleanly cuts conductors and crimps the connector in just one-step. Wire is precisely cut, flush with the modular plug end face, thanks to a patented design that prevents accidental contact between adjacent conductors or with the mating jack. This kit also includes our PrepPRO® Cable Stripper which utilizes a fixed depth blade to score the jacket of twisted pair cable without nicking the inner conductors, electrician’s scissors, 50 CAT5e and 50 CAT6 Feed-Thru RJ45 connectors, all in a convenient carrying case. Trust the IDEAL® for accurate and reliable performance in all PoE and data applications.

Popular Mechanics

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
