The tool has been cleverly designed for RJ45 crimping for both standard and feed-thru style connectors, so there is no need for electricians to invest in two separate tools or carry two around in their kit.  

The outstanding benefit of the FT-45 is its accuracy of the termination. Data termination with a traditional RJ tool has a fail rate of over 50%, whereas the FT-45 is 100% accurate providing the wires are fed through in the correct colour order. The Feed Thru Modular Plug Crimp Tool allows all the cables to be consistently terminated at the head of the connector.  

The FT-45 Feed Thru Modular Plug Crimp Tool is suitable for all the company’s CAT 5e/6/6A connectors in standard and shielded form and was designed without unnecessary extras, such as a built-in cutter and stripper, because they are rarely needed and would have made the design of the tool more clunky and cumbersome. 

It provides a consistent flush cut with less than half the mechanical force of other crimp tools, reducing strain and the risk of injury. Meanwhile the replaceable blade is good for 2000 cuts, allowing an extended service life, even after frequent use, thereby overcoming the usual frustration of having to replace the whole tool on a regular basis. 

SureTrace™ Circuit Tracer Kits

SureTrace™ Circuit Tracer lets electricians quickly locate wires or cables behind walls, pinpoint opens/shorts, and identify fuses and breakers on both energised and de-energised circuits from 0-600V AC/DC. 

SIMPLE, ACCURATE FEEDBACK 

Designed to keep productivity high and operational costs low, SureTrace circuit tracers have four defined ranges to allow the electrician to select the proper sensitivity for a specific job. No circuit tracer has ever been so user friendly. Rather than annoying blinking lights and difficult-to-decipher beeps, SureTrace's display provides a numeric value between 0 and 99 and a variable pitch/tone audible indication as fast-response tracing feedback, while its peak detector instantaneously registers signal strength. Another time-saving advantage is that handset signal communication is tuned tighter to reduce false signalling on noisy circuits, a common problem with competitors' circuit tracing devices.

SWIVELDISPLAY™

Electricians often work in overcrowded electrical closets and other awkward places. To make tracing easier in these situations, SureTrace™ features the only rotating display in the industry. Regardless of what position the electrician puts the receiver in, the SwivelDisplay™ display will orient itself so that the reading stays upright. It rotates automatically in 90° (OLED) or 180° increments (LED) so it can be read from any position. Plus, with AA batteries, the tracers provide four times the tracing power of conventional 9-volt circuit tracers on the market.

SAFETY FIRST 

Every safeguard has been taken to make the Circuit Tracers durable and safe for the long term. Additionally, a high-energy fuse and CAT III 600V design gives electricians the confidence to go about the job without worrying about equipment safety.  Its advanced transmitter will not affect RCD’s or sensitive electronic equipment, and its inductive clamp allows non-intrusive tracing on low-voltage cable. In addition, ruggedized over-moulding on the housing assures maximum impact resistance. 

CERTAINCIRCUIT™

To make the tracers both productive and safe, all SureTrace models feature CertainCircuit™ detection technology. After an electrician identifies and trips the correct breaker, CertainCircuit senses the loss of power and sends a different signal back to the receiver at the panel that the right circuit was de-energised.

IDEAL SureTrace circuit tracers are available in three kits to serve the needs of professional electricians.

The SpliceLine® in-line wire connector provides a crimp-free, solderless butt splice. The two-port model accepts up to 4.0mm2 (14AWG) solid wire, allowing one connector to do the job of multiple through-crimps.

Its end-to-end connection is also a great solution for pre-fab operations

• Tool-free, push-in through crimp
• Easily passes through standard knockouts
• End-to-end connection ideal for pre-fab operations
• Transparent polycarbonate window for visual inspection of connection
• IEC 60998-1, IEC 60998-2-2 and UL 486C compliant
• CE, UKCA and UL listed

The 3-port push-in wire connector rated at 41A and capable of handling up to 6mm2 wire is an extension to the existing range of IDEAL push-in wire connectors.

IDEAL push-In wire connectors feature an intuitive, user-friendly design which can reduce installation time by up to 50% compared to more traditional connection methods such as terminal blocks; simply push in the conductor after stripping.

The handy transparent housing enables easy visual verification of connections, while a dedicated test port is included to confirm continuity. What’s more, as the range is colour-coded, the connectors are easily identifiable, with the tough, flame-retardant shells standing up to the harshest of environments.

Thanks to their ergonomic design, the versatile connectors are easy to grip, ensuring more comfortable push-in connections, and their compact size allows effective installation in even the tightest spots or shallow boxes. Simply strip, push and connect for the fastest way to make a connection.

• Rated up to 41A for applications drawing larger amounts of current, including cookers and showers.
• Simply push the wire in - the low insertion force makes it easier.
• CE, UKCA and UL listed

Ideal for a quick, simple and safe wire termination installation with a high level of power consumption up to 32A, they provide a versatile solution suitable for joining solid, stranded or flexible conductors and are available in two-, three and five port models. 

Offering a faster, easier and more cost-effective alternative to terminal blocks, the Gen II Lever Wire Connector Range secures cables in place in seconds, with no need for a screwdriver or crimping, just a simple strip, push, connect action. 

• All models can be used with solid or rigid stranded cables of between 0.2mm2 and 4.0mm2 flexible cable from 0.14mm2 to 4.00mm2 
• Features a built-in wire strip guide to enable installers to check the correct stripping length 
• Once the wire has been stripped:  
  • For solid and stranded cables: simply push in with no need to lift the lever 
  • For flexible wires, lift the lever before inserting the conductor and clamping it into place 
• Levers have been designed to open in the opposite direction to the insertion port, locking the cables into position to prevent any accidental loosening or pull-out, ensuring a safe and secure connection throughout the lifecycle of the installation. 
• The window at the bottom of the connector enables easy inspection and there is a check port for testing, enabling full safety and consistency verification at the point of installation. 

The compact design enables easier fitting in junction boxes and enclosures, where space is often limited. This can be particularly useful in lighting and access control installations, where multiple conductors often need to come together in a tight space, however, the innovative product has been designed for any application up to 32amp, including radial and final ring circuits.
