Professional Features & Benefits

Advanced Feed-Through Technology

• Feed-Through Design - Simplifies connector to cable assembly with straight-through conductor routing for consistent terminations
• Flush Cut Capability - Minimizes inadvertent contact outside of the plug with clean conductor trimming
• Three Prong Contact Design - Accommodates both solid and stranded 23-24 AWG insulated copper conductors up to 0.041 inch diameter
• Primary and Secondary Strain Relief - Retains cable jacket and minimizes conductor movement once crimped for long-term reliability

Professional Connectivity Performance

• 50 Micro-Inch Gold Plating - Contact mating area provides long-term reliability in connectivity even after hundreds of mating cycles
• 100 MHz Performance Rating - Supports CAT5e 100Ω balanced twisted pair cable specifications for high-speed data transmission
• Industry Standard Compliance - Meets mechanical and electrical specifications for compatibility with compliant modular jacks and ports

Installation Compatibility

• FT-45 Crimp Tool Optimization - Designed for best performance when used with IDEAL FT-45 Crimp Tool for professional installations
• Telemaster Tool Compatibility - Compatible for crimping applications with IDEAL Telemaster crimping tools for versatile installation options

Technical Specifications

8 position, 8 contact RJ-45 modular plug configuration for CAT5e applications. Accepts outer jacket cable diameters up to 0.270 inches. Wire compatibility includes solid and stranded 23-24 AWG insulated copper conductors. 50 micro-inch gold plating on contact mating surfaces. 100 MHz frequency performance rating for CAT5e 100Ω balanced twisted pair cables. Permanent connection design - once crimped cannot be reused. Optional external strain relief boots available separately.

Installation & Setup

1. Strip cable jacket to appropriate length maintaining conductor pair integrity for professional results
2. Insert conductors through feed-through design allowing excess length for proper positioning
3. Arrange conductors according to T568A or T568B wiring standard for network compliance
4. Insert assembled cable and plug into IDEAL FT-45 crimp tool ensuring proper seating
5. Actuate crimp tool to simultaneously crimp contacts and trim excess conductors for clean termination
6. Verify connection integrity and install optional strain relief boot if required for application
