The IDEAL Shielded Feed-Thru Modular Plugs are engineered for high-performance terminations of large-diameter twisted pair cables, specifically CAT6A, CAT6, and CAT5e. Designed to accommodate insulated conductors ranging from 0.040" to 0.048" in diameter, these single-piece 8P8C RJ-45 connectors simplify the assembly process by eliminating the need for precision trimming, load bars, or multi-piece assemblies. The unique staggered conductor hole layout and multi-length contact pins ensure reliable connections, while the pre-positioned jacket strain relief clip facilitates easy cable insertion. Termination is streamlined using the FT-45™ Modular Plug Crimp Tool, requiring no adjustments or blade changes. These connectors are UL Listed and feature 50µ" gold-plated contact areas for enhanced signal integrity.
