Ideal 30-495 FT-45 Feed-Thru RJ-45 Crimp Tool

The Ideal 30-495 FT-45 is a feed-through modular plug crimp tool for RJ-45 connectors, designed to work with feed-through style (pass-through) modular plugs where the wire conductors extend through the front of the connector before crimping. This design ensures all conductors are fully seated and properly aligned prior to the crimp cycle, improving termination reliability and reducing RJ-45 crimp failures in structured cabling applications.

Key Features

• Feed-through design ensures wire conductors fully seat and extend through the RJ-45 plug before crimping
• Reduces miss-seated conductor failures common with standard (non-feed-through) RJ-45 plugs
• Compatible with FT-45 style feed-through modular plugs for CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6A cabling
• Ratchet-style mechanism provides consistent crimp force for repeatable results
• Ergonomic handle profile for comfortable use during repetitive RJ-45 termination work

Specifications

• Connector Type: RJ-45 Feed-Through (Pass-Through) Modular Plug
• Compatible Plug Type: FT-45 Style Feed-Through
• Compatible Cable: CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A
• Tool Type: Modular Plug Crimp Tool

Applications

Used by network cabling installers, structured cabling contractors, and IT professionals for RJ-45 feed-through modular plug crimping. Feed-through plugs are the preferred choice in professional network installations where connector reliability and wire-to-pin registration are critical, including FBO data networks, hangar IT infrastructure, and enterprise LAN environments.

Ideal 30-495 Calibration

PJi operates an ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Lab and provides NIST-traceable calibration for the Ideal 30-495 at the time of purchase — add calibration to your order at checkout. Our calibration documentation satisfies FAA Part 145 tool control requirements, ISO 9001 quality system records, and AS9100 calibration traceability requirements. For repair stations and quality-certified facilities that require documented traceability, PJi is the one-stop source: the tool and the calibration certificate in a single transaction. Calibration-only companies cannot sell you the tool. Major retailers cannot calibrate it. PJi does both.

Why Buy from Pilot John International

Pilot John International is an authorized Ideal Industries distributor with specialized expertise serving aviation maintenance, FAA Part 145 repair stations, and industrial MRO facilities. Unlike Amazon, Grainger, or Home Depot, which sell Ideal tools but offer zero calibration services, PJi's in-house ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Lab calibrates your tool at purchase. We stock the full Ideal catalog, ship same-business-day on in-stock items, and our technical staff understands the demands of aviation and industrial electrical maintenance.
