Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Platinum Tools, founded in 1997, was created based upon two very simple objectives. First, develop and source the absolute best possible solutions for the preparation, installation and hand termination of wire and cable. Second, implement an operational infrastructure that can deliver these products in an efficient, timely and high quality manner. All of our products absolutely must satisfy three critical benchmark criteria: utility of function, quality of function, and economic value. The patented Platinum 100011C EZ-RJ45 Cat 6+ Combo. includes Cat 6 connectors and strain reliefs that are required for Category 6 compliance. The connectors simplify twisted pair terminations by allowing the wires to be inserted through the connector and out the front. This allows the technician to easily verify the proper wiring order. The electrical performance of the termination is optimized by pulling the connector down over the cable jacket and seating it tightly in the rear of the connector. This reduces the distance between the wire twists and contacts. The clamshell connector's simple one piece design with no bars or liners works with solid or stranded wire. The strain reliefs are designed specifically for the EZ-RJ45 Cat 6+ Connector. The unique design allows the strain relief to be crimped with the connector, making it an integral part of the complete assembly. Once terminated, the strain relief will not pull off the connector. Electrical performance of the termination is optimized by maintaining the bend radius of the cable exiting the rear of the connector, per Category 6 requirements. When terminating your EZ connectors, twist all your extended conductors together into one tight bundle and then insert into your EZ crimp tool to be terminated.

This product, along with the EZ-RJ45 PRO crimper, made a dozen cables without a hitch - perfect crimps, all of them tested out in the top tier when done.

Being able to push the 8 wires completely through the connector really makes terminating cables very much easier than traditional connectors. The only issue I had was in clipping off the excess wire. If you use scissors to clip off the excess you can't cut the wires close enough to the connector and the connector does not seat properly in a RJ45 jack. Using a utility knife is difficult also. They do offer a crimping tool that cuts off the excess that I have not tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars The right tool for a very fiddly job., December 18, 2011

These are much easier to use than the regular variety; well worth the extra cost (do they actually cost more?) just for all the frustration that they save. I don't think it's mentioned in the description, but the packet came with red, blue and (I think) grey boots.
