Ideal Networks (85-372) Cat5e Feed-Thru RJ-45 Modular Plug - Pack of 100

Ideal Networks (85-372) Cat5e Feed-Thru RJ-45 Modular Plug - Pack of 100

The IDEAL Feed-Thru RJ-45 Modular Plugs are designed to simplify and improve the consistency of cable to connector termination of CAT5e and CAT6 modular plugs to twisted pair cables. Anyone who has assembled traditional standard or multi-piece modular plugs knows it is a time consuming and often error-prone process.

Open-end Feed-Thru connectors offer several advantages over standard closed end connectors. Conductor order can be verified prior to crimping. Conductors that feed-thru the connector are inserted far enough to be pierced by the pin below. The cable can be pushed or pulled into the connector to ensure that the twisted pairs are as close to the pin contacts as possible and that the jacket is seated beyond the primary strain relief for a secure connection. A patent pending design enables conductors to be cut flush with the end face of the connector when used with the FT-45™ tool.

Key Features:

• NEW Feed-Thru design simplifies connector to cable assembly
• Flush cut of excess conductors minimzes inadvertent contact outside of the plug
• Designed for best performance when used with the IDEAL FT-45 Crimp Tool (30-495)
• 8 position, 8 contact RJ-45 modular plug for CAT5e, 100Ω balanced twisted pair 100 MHz cables
• 50 micro-inch gold plating on contact mating area for long term reliability in connectivity, even after hundreds of mating cycles
