The IDEAL family of Feed-Thru products has expanded to include two new modular plug connectors. Available in a shielded or unshielded model, these single piece 8P8C RJ-45 connectors are designed to work with cable conductors ranging from 22 to 24 AWG solid with an overall diameter of 0.040” – 0.048” per conductor. The single piece Feed-Thru design simplifies the challenges faced when assembling and terminating twisted pair cables with larger diameter conductors, over 0.041”, when use of a standard in-line connector is not an option.
A unique staggered conductor hole layout and multi-length contact pins are incorporated to accommodate the larger conductors. The single-piece housing design helps to funnel the conductors through the connector and out of the Feed-Thru end. No precision length trimming, load bars or multi-piece assemblies are required. The connectors are then terminated with the FT-45™ Modular Plug Crimp Tool. The FT-45™ Crimp Tool does not require any adjustments or blade changes to use these connectors.
The shielded connector is designed for 0.040” through 0.048” insulated conductors whichare typically found in CAT6A, CAT6, and CAT5e shielded cables. The unshielded connector handles the same range, but is used primarily for CAT6A and thicker CAT6 unshielded cables. For twisted pair cables with maximum conductor diameters of 0.41” or less, we recommend using the in-line versions of our CAT5e or CAT6 Feed-Thru connectors.
