Professional Features & Benefits

Advanced Feed-Through Design

• Feed-Through Construction - Simplifies connector to cable assembly with straight-through conductor path for consistent performance
• Flush Cut Technology - Eliminates excess conductor length to minimize inadvertent contact outside the plug housing
• Primary Strain Relief - Retains cable jacket and minimizes conductor movement once crimped for long-term reliability
• Permanent Connection - Once crimped, provides secure permanent termination that cannot be accidentally disconnected

High-Performance Connectivity

• 50 Micro-Inch Gold Plating - Contact mating areas feature gold plating for long-term reliability even after hundreds of mating cycles
• Three Prong Contact Design - Accommodates both solid and stranded 23-24 AWG insulated copper conductors up to 0.041 inch diameter
• 250 MHz Performance - Engineered for CAT6 applications with superior signal integrity and reduced crosstalk

Professional Installation Compatibility

• FT-45 Tool Compatibility - Designed to work seamlessly with IDEAL FT-45 Modular Plug Crimp Tool for optimal results
• Telemaster Compatibility - Also compatible for crimping with IDEAL Telemaster crimping tools for versatile installation options
• Industry Standard Compliance - Meets mechanical and electrical specifications for compatibility with compliant modular jacks and ports
