Ideal 30-495 FT-45 Feed-Thru Mod Plug Crimp Tool

The IDEAL FT-45 Feed-Thru Mod Plug Crimp Tool is a simple, compact and highly effective crimp tool for installers and techs that terminates RJ45 connectors regularly. It has a single crimp cavity for RJ-5/8 position connectors that can be used with Feed-Thru, standard or shielded connectors for CAT-5E or CAT-6, a custom, replaceable, and heavy-duty cutting blade that will last for over 2,000 cuts and a 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 1-handed crimping is possible. The tool is compact, 5 1/2 in. in length and weighs just over 1/2 lb. It has a textured grip, spring-loaded handle, locking hasp and has the 568A and 568B wiring scheme marked on it. A larger opening allows conductors to pass-thru without obstruction. The metal crimp cavity improves crimping consistency. The FT-45 cleanly shears the excess conductors and leaves a smooth flat finish to the end face of the connector. N
