Ideal Industries CAT5e Feed-Thru Modular Plugs RJ45 8P8C 23-24 AWG 50-Pack Gold Plated

Professional-Grade Feed-Through Modular Connector System

The Ideal Industries CAT5e Feed-Thru Modular Plugs deliver professional-grade connectivity performance for high-speed data transmission applications. This 50-pack of 8-position, 8-contact RJ-45 modular plugs features innovative feed-through design engineered for telecommunications professionals, data installers, and network technicians, providing the reliable performance and industry-leading quality that networking professionals demand for CAT5e installations.

Professional Features & Benefits

Feed-Through Design Innovation

  • Feed-Through Construction - Simplifies connector to cable assembly with straight-through conductor path for consistent terminations
  • Flush Cut Design - Excess conductors cut flush minimizing inadvertent contact outside plug for enhanced safety
  • Primary and Secondary Strain Relief - Dual strain relief supports retain cable jacket and minimize conductor movement once crimped
  • Three Prong Contact Design - Accommodates both solid and stranded 23-24 AWG insulated copper conductors up to 0.041 inch diameter

Connectivity Performance

  • 50 Micro-Inch Gold Plating - Contact mating area gold plating ensures long-term reliability even after hundreds of mating cycles
  • 100 Ohm Balanced Design - Engineered for CAT5e twisted pair 250 MHz cable applications with optimal impedance matching
  • Industry Standard Compliance - Meets mechanical and electrical specifications for compatibility with compliant modular jacks and ports

Professional Installation

  • IDEAL FT-45 Compatibility - Designed for best performance when used with IDEAL FT-45 Crimp Tool for professional results
  • Cable Diameter Range - Accepts outer jacket cable diameters up to 0.270 inches for versatile cable compatibility
  • Permanent Connection - Once crimped provides secure permanent connection that cannot be reused ensuring installation integrity

Technical Specifications

8-position, 8-contact RJ-45 modular plug configuration, 23-24 AWG solid or stranded copper conductor compatibility, maximum conductor diameter 0.041 inches, outer jacket diameter capacity up to 0.270 inches, 50 micro-inch gold plating on contact mating surfaces, 100 ohm balanced impedance for CAT5e applications, 250 MHz frequency performance, industry standard mechanical and electrical compliance, 50-piece bulk packaging for professional installations.

Installation & Setup

  1. Strip cable jacket to appropriate length maintaining conductor pair integrity for optimal performance
  2. Insert conductors through feed-through plug ensuring proper wire sequence according to T568A or T568B standards
  3. Verify conductors extend through plug front for proper contact alignment before crimping
  4. Position plug in IDEAL FT-45 crimp tool ensuring proper alignment for consistent termination
  5. Apply crimp pressure to secure conductors and activate strain relief mechanisms
  6. Trim excess conductor length flush with plug front using integrated cutting mechanism

Professional Applications

Ideal for:

  • Network Infrastructure - Data center installations, server room connectivity, and enterprise network deployments
  • Telecommunications Systems - Voice over IP installations, PBX systems, and unified communications infrastructure
  • Commercial Construction - Office building structured cabling, retail network installations, and hospitality connectivity
  • Industrial Networking - Manufacturing facility networks, warehouse management systems, and industrial automation
  • Residential Installations - Home office networks, smart home systems, and residential structured cabling
  • Educational Facilities - School network infrastructure, classroom connectivity, and campus-wide installations
  • Healthcare Networks - Hospital information systems, medical device connectivity, and patient care networks
  • Security Systems - IP camera installations, access control systems, and integrated security networks

Feed-Through Technology Advantage

IDEAL Industries feed-through design revolutionizes modular plug termination by allowing conductors to pass completely through the plug body before crimping. This innovation ensures proper conductor positioning, eliminates guesswork in wire length, and provides visual confirmation of correct wiring sequence. The integrated cutting mechanism trims excess conductor length flush with the plug face, preventing shorts and ensuring clean professional installations that meet industry standards for CAT5e performance.

Why Choose Ideal Industries Quality?
