Can I use stranded patch cable with this coupler?

These couplers are specified for solid installation cable.

We do not currently publish a stranded-conductor specification for them, so use solid cable rather than assuming that a particular stranded patch cable will terminate reliably.

Do I need to fit RJ45 plugs to the cables first? What tool do I need to terminate the coupler? How are the cables held and protected after termination? Are cable ties included?
