Its single crimp cavity accepts 8-position RJ-45 connectors — feed-thru, standard, or shielded — for CAT5e and CAT6 applications, making it a versatile go-to for structured cabling, data centre work, and on-site network installations. The FT-45 automatically trims conductors to the correct length during the crimp cycle, eliminating the need to measure and dramatically reducing wasted connectors from incorrect assembly. A mechanical advantage design requires only 1\/3 to 1\/2 the hand force of traditional ratchet-style tools, enabling one-handed crimping and reducing fatigue during high-volume termination runs. At just 5-1\/2 in long and weighing just over 1\/2 lb, it’s roughly half the size and weight of bulkier alternatives — easy to carry in a tool pouch and manoeuvre in tight cable trays or patch panels. The heavy-duty replaceable cutting blade delivers a clean, smooth shear on excess conductors and is rated for over 2,000 cuts before replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.1em; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eCompatible Connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRJ-45 8-Position (Feed-Thru, Standard, Shielded)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eCompatible Cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCAT5e, CAT6\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eCrimp Cavities\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1 (RJ-45)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eConductor Trimming\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAutomatic — Trimmed to Correct Length During Crimp Cycle\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eHand Force Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1\/3 to 1\/2 of Traditional Tools — No Ratchet Mechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eOne-Handed Crimping\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eTool Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e5-1\/2 in (140 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eJust Over 1\/2 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eBlade Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eHeavy-Duty Replaceable Cutting Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eBlade Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eOver 2,000 Cuts\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eClean Shear — Smooth, Flat End Face on Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"IDEAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48089652330751,"sku":"IDI-30-495","price":84.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/0479\/9487\/files\/ideal-industries-30-495-ft-45-feed-thru-modular-plug-crimp-tool.jpg?v=1783440043","url":"https:\/\/shop.iesupply.ca\/products\/ideal-industries-ft-45-feed-thru-crimp-tool-model-30-495","provider":"Independent Electric Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
