Ideal Industries 85-377J Cat6 Feedthrough Modular Plug

Product Description

The IDEAL INDUSTRIES 85-377J is a Cat6 feedthrough modular plug designed for terminating Cat6 Ethernet cables in structured wiring installations. The feedthrough design allows the cable conductor tips to pass completely through the plug body, making it easier to achieve proper wire alignment before crimping. This plug is a Category 6 connector suitable for high-speed data network installations and is typically installed by low-voltage electricians, network technicians, and voice-data-video (VDV) contractors.

This modular plug is used in residential and commercial structured cabling applications where Cat6 performance is required. It fits the termination workflow for patch cable fabrication, field-termination of station drops, and network equipment connections. The feedthrough body style is particularly useful in field conditions where conductor alignment needs to be visually confirmed before the crimp is set.

Key Features

• Feedthrough body design allows conductor tips to extend past the plug face for visual verification before crimping
• Rated for Category 6 performance to support Gigabit and higher-speed network applications
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement or small-quantity use
• Compatible with standard RJ45 crimp tools designed for feedthrough-style plugs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6 feedthrough modular plug for use in standard RJ45 structured cabling terminations. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or VDV contractors using an RJ45 crimp tool rated for feedthrough-style Cat6 plugs. Confirm the crimp tool die profile matches the plug body before use, as standard pass-through plugs require a different die than standard plugs. Follow TIA-568 wiring standards for conductor pair arrangement. Always inspect the crimp for full conductor seating before finalizing the termination.
