Our newest member of the Feed-Thru family of products is specifically designed
to handle the challenges faced with field termination of shielded cables. The
CAT6A/6/5e connector is made to work with cables – shielded or unshielded,
that have larger insulated conductor diameters that typically will not fit into
a standard in-line modular plug design. Utilizing a unique conductor and pin
stagger pattern, the single piece design helps to funnel the conductors
through the connector and out of the Feed-Thru end. No load bars or multi
piece assemblies are required. The connector is then terminated with the FT-45
Crimp Tool. No adjustments or blade changes are required to the FT-45 to use
this connector The connector is designed for 1.02mm through 1.22mm insulated
conductors, typically found in CAT6A, CAT6, and CAT5e shielded cables. Shield
continuity can be made internally by folding the cable foil over the jacket
and making contact with the inside of the connector walls or externally by
wrapping the cable drain wire around the base of the jacket strain relief clip
. The jacket strain relief clip is pre-positioned in the up position so cable
insertion is simplified. The pre-formed clip can be closed and crimped with a
standard needle nose or plier-nose device like the IDEAL® 33-719 or other
IDEAL® T ®-Strippers. Pin contacts are a 3 prong design and have 50u” gold
plated contact areas. The FT-45 crimp tool , (IDEAL® 30-495) is required to
properly terminate this connector.
Feed-Thru Hip Kits
The 33-507 Feed-Thru RJ-45 Installation Hip Kit includes the necessary tools to cut, strip and terminate RJ-45, 8P8C modular plugs to twisted pair cabling. The tools in the kit are designed to work together with CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6A cabling. The FT-45™ crimp tool is a compact, lightweight crimper that provides a flush cut on IDEAL® Feed-Thru modular plugs. It is also compatible with standard (non-Feed-Thru) and shielded connectors. The PrepPRO® Coax/UTP Cable Stripper utilizes a fixed depth blade to score the jacket of twisted pair cable without nicking the inner conductors. Scissors are included for cutting off old connector ends and trimming the cable or conductors to size. The pouch includes a clip to attach the kit to a tool bag or belt and keeps the termination tools together in one compact space. A spare slot is included to add the Punch Down Tool, or other similar shaped tools to the kit. The small round slot can be used to hold additional Punch Down tool blades. The 33-508 Twisted Pair Termination Hip Kit includes all the above plus the Punchmaster™ II Punch Down Tool with 110 and 66 blades for the added benefit of terminating modular jacks and panels.
