• Our flagship professional grade compression tool
• Compresses F/BNC/RCA/RG-11F/Mini-Coax/90° connectors
• Works with all IDEAL compression connectors
• No loose adapters required. No adjustments needed for most IDEAL connectors.
• Adjustable post and adjustable spin knob increases connector compatibility

Our flagship OmniSeal^™ Pro XL (30-793) compression tool is compatible with and terminates all IDEAL compression connectors. Patented dual spring clips and fixed top ledge enable this tool to compress more connectors than any other tool on the market. Unlike most compression tools which require adjustments and adapters for each type of connector, this compact 6¾“ length tool compresses all straight IDEAL compression connectors with no adjustments to the tool. F/BNC/RCA/RG-11 F connectors can all be terminated one after another with no setting changes. Only the 90° F and BNC connectors require a tool adjustment.

An adjustable spin knob allows for compressive forces to be placed on the rim of the connector instead of the bottom of the nut when required. This is helpful for non-IDEAL plastic centered connectors such as 50Ω BNC‘s or RCA‘s with limited structural support. It can also be used as a larger flat surface to compress against for other types of non-traditional compression connectors. The adjustable post and spin knob, combined with three compression surface levels, give the installer virtually unlimited options for compressing current and future connector designs.

The 30-793 is also available in several tool kits including the 33-793 Pro Hip Kit and 33-693 Pro Compression Starter Kit.

Tool instructions:

Default setting: With the handle in the closed position, the top of the compression post should be flush with the longest (center) line of the adjustment lines. If an IDEAL connector does not fully compress, raise the post setting. If the handle does not fully close when compressing, lower the post setting.

All IDEAL compression connectors use the default setting, with the exception of the 90° connectors – see adjustments below.

The 90° F/BNC compression connectors are the only IDEAL connectors that require the 30-793 compression tool to be adjusted. The tool can also be adjusted for non-IDEAL connectors.

• To adjust: Loosen the locknut by turning the post counterclockwise with a flathead screwdriver.
• With the handle in the closed position, lower the post with the screwdriver until the top of the compression post is even with the bottom adjustment line of the tool.
• Tool is now set for 90° connectors. Connector will compress against the top spring clip level.
• To reset tool to default position, close handle and raise post to the longest (center) adjustment mark.
• Re-tighten locknut by hand, then secure it with a clockwise turn of the post.

• Compact design – 2/3 the size of traditional crimpers
• Trims wires flush with connector end
• Works on feed-thru, standard and shielded modular plugs
• For CAT5e and CAT6 RJ-45 connectors
• Easier plug assembly with feed-thru design
• Large connector cavity window for unobstructed wire pass-thru

Don‘t let it‘s size fool you. The NEW FT-45^™ is a simple, compact and highly effective modular plug crimp tool for installers and techs that terminate RJ-45 connectors regularly. Instead of another traditional oversized, heavy, crimp tool style loaded with features that are rarely used or that just don‘t work well, we took this tool in a new direction. It‘s built for today and tomorrow, not the past.

This tool was designed to work seamlessly with the IDEAL Feed-Thru Modular plugs, and is compatible with other feed-thru style connectors. A major benefit of Feed-Thru plugs is that they allow the individual conductors to “feed-thru” the end-face of the connector allowing the user to verify the wires are in the correct order prior to crimping the connector.

During crimping, the FT-45^™ cleanly shears the excess conductors and leaves a smooth, flat finish to the end face of the IDEAL Feed-Thru connector. No protrusions or small lengths of conductor remain beyond the plastic face of the connector. This minimizes accidental shorting of conductors or inadvertent contact in plug jacks.

Fitted with a single universal crimp cavity for RJ-45 / 8-position connectors that can be used with Feed-Thru, standard, or shielded connectors for CAT5e or CAT6. No need to carry multiple tools for terminating RJ-45’s.

A custom, heavy duty cutting blade that stays sharp, has minimal flex and will last for over 2,000 cuts before it needs replacing. Replacement blades are available (30-4951).

A patent pending mechanical design that requires only 1/3 to 1/2 the hand force of traditional tools to crimp the connector – no ratchet mechanism is needed and one handed crimping is possible.

The tool is compact, 5 1/2“ in length and weighs just over 1/2lb, about half the size and weight of bulkier traditional tools so it easily fits in your pocket and lightens the tool bag load.
