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

Product Information

sometimes you can only do so much, at the same time, I know people vary on their opinion of where to draw the line of good enough'ness, I sometimes find myself judging those with whom I disagree on decisions they made in regard to job completion, sometimes I voice my disagreement to others.

I am however too cheap to use the crimper with the cutter built in, so just use a blade to trim them. CONSTRUCTION: The crimper is manufactured with a black oxide-coated steel core frame that ensures durability with additional strength for reliable performance.The Data T®-Cutter tool is a small and compact yet efficient hand actuated cable cutter with dual curved blades and a shearing cutting action which are recommended for cutting coax and other copper based low voltage cables.

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. F-Gas (Fluorinated gases) government regulations specify that a limited number of products can be sold in the European Union that contain F-gases which have been linked to climate change. I have tried Ideal's as well as a knock off brand and the Klein has served me the best thus far, it seems to cut the wires the cleanest. The versatile tool is capable of crimping IDEAL feed-thru, standard, shielded and unshielded connectors and includes 568A and 568B wiring schemes marked on the tool for ease of use.The NEW FT-45™ is a simple, compact and highly effective modular plug crimp tool for installers and techs that terminate RJ-45 connectors regularly.

From Ideal, this Telemaster termination tool is a lever assisted multi-purpose crimping tool, suitable for most common modular data plugs, including 6/6 (RJ11) and 8/8 (RJ45) types. Did you test the cables (with a cable tester) and they passed that test yet shorted out when plugged in? It makes the traditional, time-consuming RJ-45 assembly and crimping process faster, more consistent and lower cost. It was a more prevalent problem when they first came out, but it’s a problem that can rear its ugly head when the slicer on the tool starts to get dull.

Hopefully, they’ve gotten better, but some manufacturers will still void your warranty if you use them (Vaddio is one that I deal with that has that policy).
