Platinum Tools Shielded Cat5E & Cat6 RJ45 EZ-RJ45 Connector

As anyone who has ever planned their network knows, terminating Ethernet cables isn’t necessarily hard. It can be a tedious process, though, and it is necessary to speed and functionality to get it correct. If you have a lot of cables to connect or if you’re a network professional, the amount of time spent on getting conductors just right can be frustrating and even wasteful. You have to measure carefully to ensure you are clipping the precise length of wire to fit snugly into your connector and often you have to assume your pins have stayed in the right order before you crimp them.

Platinum Tools, a leading designer and manufacturer of network wiring instruments, has created a patented EZ system to eliminate many of the headaches associated with those tiny connectors. Product number 100020 is the single shielded EZ-RJ45 connector. They are fully foil-shielded with an internal ground for interference-sensitive installations. These connectors can be used with most ordinary crimpers, but the full benefits can only be experienced when used with an EZ-RJ45 crimp tool.

The Difference

The initial steps for adding an EZRJ45 connector onto a shielded Ethernet cable is the same. You score the outer jacket and remove an inch and a half, snipping the pull thread to get it out of your way once you have enough of the conductors exposed. Untwist the pairs and line them up according to your chosen wiring diagram. Then, instead of measuring where you need to snip off the excess wire, you skip straight to inserting the cable into the connector. Thanks to the all-transparent pull-through design, you can quickly check to make sure the correct wire pinout has been maintained by checking the wires that have come out the end of the connector and by looking into the body of the connector itself. Once everything is lined up properly, crimp the connector on. The EZ-RJ45 tool will crimp and cut away the extra wire all in one squeeze.

Platinum Tools Cat6A ezEX™48 ezEX-RJ45® Connector

The Platinum Tools 202048J Cat6A ezEX™48 ezEX-RJ45® Connector is manufactured to provide easy termination when crimped onto Cat6A structured cabling. The unique design makes it easy to verify wiring sequences before terminating and allows larger conductors to pass through the front end. The integrated Hi-Lo stagger load bar isolates each conductor for higher performance.

ezEX™48 - ezEX-RJ45® connectors are made in the USA with high quality, American-made workmanship. This 100 pack comes in a resealable plastic jar for easy storage and portability.

These connectors are designed for use with the EXO™ Crimp Frame and EXO-EX Die (100061C).

ProSeries Cat6/6a Unshielded Pass-Through RJ45 Modular Plugs with Cap45® 100 pc/Jar

Simply45® ProSeries hybrid connectors feature the patented Cap45. The ProSeries connector provides the convenience of a pass-through style with the security of a standard modular plug. Simply45® only uses the highest quality materials to ensure reliable results and will greatly reduce truck rollbacks. These connectors are commercially rated and feature a 3-prong style contact designed for all PoE applications, making Simply45® ProSeries the most reliable terminations on the market today.

Simply45® the industry-leading brand for RJ45 modular plug innovation and performance solutions introduces the ProSeries Pass-Through RJ45 Modular Plug, S45-1700P for unshielded LAN cables. This exclusive patented pass-through RJ45 modular plug is a historic breakthrough in “pass-through” RJ45 reliability and performance.

The Simply45® ProSeries introduces the exclusive Cap45® (PATENT 10,811,831 B1). Cap45® is an isolation cap/bar that snaps onto the front of the pass-through RJ45 plug after termination, covering the exposed wire ends. Cap45® prevents electrical shorting in the RJ45 socket due to improperly trimmed wires or device sockets that may not be 100% compliant. With Cap45®, any electrical risks associated with exposed wire ends are now eliminated completely.

Cap45® is a MUST-HAVE for all pass-through RJ45 modular plugs used in commercial and certified system terminations.
