FT-45 Cat 6 Unshielded Kit Containing 1x FT-45 Tool, 1x Prep-pro Stripper, 1x Data T-Cutter
Speed, Accuracy and Reliability
With increasingly sophisticated smart building systems comes a requirement for increasingly complex data networks, which include a large number of terminations.
Designed to completely re-think the traditional RJ-45 assembly and crimping process, IDEAL Industries’ FT-45 solution allows installers of smart networks to speed up and simplify the termination of RJ-45 plugs by eliminating the need to trim conductors to a precise length before inserting the cable into the plug.
IDEAL kits meet the demands of today’s network installers and come in a variety of options with or without the modular plugs, but all include a selection of quality tools required for installing data terminations faster, easier and more consistently.
FT-45™ Modular Plug Crimp Tool
The FT-45™ is a simple, compact and highly effective crimp tool for installers and technicians who terminate RJ-45 connectors regularly. Enables conductors to be cut flush with the end face of the connector when used with the FT-45™ tool.
- Speed: The simplified process of RJ-45 data terminations increases productivity
- Accuracy: Shears the excess conductors cleanly and leaves a smooth, flat finish
- Reliability: Clear connector design for visual inspection of wiring order, reducing errors
- Compact: Easily fits in your pocket and lightens the tool bag load
- Versatile: Suitable with Feed-Thru, standard, or shielded connectors (CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT6A)
- Heavy-duty: Cutting blade that will last for over 2,000 cuts
- Ergonomic: Reduced hand force compared to traditional crimp tools
- Wiring scheme: 568A & 568B marked on the tool
- Easily maintained: Replaceable cutting blades available

PrepPRO™ Coax/UTP Cable Stripper
Auto-adjusting blade depth for 6/6Quad/59 coax cable
- 1/4” x 1/4” (6.4 x 6.4 mm) coax preparation
- Replaceable blade cartridges
- Spring-loaded for consistent cutting force
- CAT5e/6 jacket stripping

Data T®-Cutter
- The curved blades minimise cable deformation, which helps keep the cable impedance (Ω) consistent during the connector to cable termination, and allows cable stripping tools to work more efficiently and accurately
- Cuts multi-pair cable up to .500 in. (12.7mm) and coaxial cable up to RG-9/U
- Suitable for copper and aluminium (not steel reinforced)
- Steel reinforced centre conductors can be trimmed with bolt-cutting holes
- Spring-loaded handles require less effort for repeated cutting
- Locking latch keeps the tool closed in the pouch to protect blade edges
