INSERT & VERIFY

Step 2: Align conductors and feed-thru the single-piece RJ45 connectors – you’ll be able to verify the wires are in the correct order prior to crimping.

CRIMP

Step 3: Finally, use the FT-45™ tool to crimp and cleanly shear the conductor ends with one squeeze.

THE RESULT

The ability to feed conductors through the connector allows you to verify they are in the correct sequence prior to crimping, virtually eliminating errors. The FT-45 tool cleanly trims the conductors to the precise length, ensuring consistent connections every time.
