Ideal Cat5e Feed-Through Modular Plug is the first feed-thru style connector and tool solution to offer a flush cut of the excess conductor to the face of the modular plug. A patent pending design enables conductors to be cut flush with the end face of the connector when used with the FT-45 tool (30-495). The flush cut eliminates inadvertent contact among adjacent conductors or with the mating jack. The conductor spacing is maintained for reliable performance in PoE and data applications. The feed-thru connector has several additional advantages and improvements to traditional closed end modular plugs in assembly and termination as conductors feed-thru the connector face, all are visibly inserted far enough to be pierced by the pin – eliminates short wires or opens. The conductor order can then be verified before the connector is crimped. This eliminates wasted connectors saves time in assembly and reduces the chances of finding an error during a wiremap test of the cable. The cable can be pushed or pulled into the connector to ensure that the twisted pairs are within 1/2inch of the pin contacts and that the jacket is seated beyond the primary strain relief for a secure connection-better NEXT performance minimal untwisted wires.- New feed-thru design simplifies connector to cable assembly- Flush cut of excess conductors minimizes inadvertent contact outside of the plug- Designed for best performance when used with the Ideal FT-45 crimp tool (30-495)- Three prong contact design for use with solid or stranded 23-24 AWG insulated copper conductors up to 0.041 in diameter.- 50 micro-inch gold plating on contact mating area for long term reliability in connectivity, even after hundreds of mating cycles.- Accepts outer jacket cable diameters of up to .270.- Permanent connection – Once crimped they cannot be reused- Optional external strain relief boots are available
