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.
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 100035 is a 50-pack of EZ-RJ45 Cat5E strain-relief boots. These boots can only be used with EZ-RJ45 Cat5E connectors. When used with a connector, they help protect the cable from snags and relieve stress from bends and pressure.
The Difference
The initial steps for adding an EZ-RJ45 connector onto an Ethernet cable is the same. Slide the 100035 strain relief boot onto the cable as soon as you slip off the length you want. The unique design of these boots locks to the EZ-RJ45 end for easy all-at-once connections. Remove an inch and a half of the jacket. Untwist the pairs and line them up according to your chosen wiring diagram. Then insert the cable into the EZ-RJ45 connector, which is sold separately. 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.
LCD Display, IEEE 802.3at/af Power over Ethernet (PoE+/PoE) Compliant, 370 W, Endspan, 19" Rackmount
High-Power Unmanaged PoE Switch with LCD Status Display
The Intellinet Network Solutions 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch with 2 SFP Ports (561242) passes both data and electrical power to a number of PoE-compatible devices via standard Cat5e or Cat6 network cables. Equipped with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch can power wireless LAN access points and bridges, VoIP phones, IP video cameras and more while delivering network speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps.
Power over Ethernet 802.3at
This high-powered switch supports the IEEE 802.3at protocol and can inject up to 30 watts of power per port*. IEEE802.3af- or IEEE802.3at-compliant devices attached to the switch require no additional power, thus eliminating the time and expense of electrical rewiring and minimizing the unsightly clutter caused by power supplies and adapters in awkward places such as ceilings and walls. Any mix of PoE and non-PoE devices is supported, and thanks to its short-circuit, overload and high-voltage protection function, your equipment is well-protected. For devices that are not 802.3at/af compliant (legacy wireless access points or network cameras), we suggest the use of an Intellinet Network Solutions PoE/PoE+ Splitter.
Innovative LCD Status Display
The Intellinet Network Solutions 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch with 2 SFP Ports is equipped with an LCD status screen on the front that provides real-time power information. This includes how much power each connected PoE device consumes, the combined used-power total of all connected devices and the total power available. Additionally, the LCD screen informs users of potential warnings for overload, high temperature, short-circuit protection and others. Thanks to this feature, you are always informed about the status of your PoE switch with a glance at the screen.
Eliminate Bottlenecks with 26 Gigabit Ports.
Equipped with 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch offers plenty of performance for your computers, servers and other networking devices. In addition, two small, form-factor pluggable GBIC module slots (SFP) provide fiber connectivity for greater distances. These are not shared combo-ports but true Gigabit ports,pushing the total available bandwidth up to 52 Gbps.
