Why doesn’t this connector fit my cable? It’s the little things
that you have to look out for when you’re doing a big project. When you
get your spool of Cat6 cable and your bags of connectors, prep a cable
end and prepare to terminate it with a connector, you expect to finish
the job easily, right? But then you find that the cable outer jacket
doesn’t fit in the connector, and you can’t crimp it. Or the conductors
are too big, packing in too tightly on the way to the contact
punch-downs. You know this isn’t right, but you didn’t do anything wrong
– did you? Simple, Right? Cat6 cable, Cat6 connectors. It
should be simple. But cable changes are making it hard to terminate with
existing Cat6 RJ45 connectors. It’s a common problem, and the reason is
simple. Cat6 cable can vary and is built to meet performance standards.
It can have thicker insulation, larger conductors, tighter twisted
pairs and a variety of shielding and grounding arrangements. No wonder
the connectors don’t simply fit! If you want to do it right and certify
your installation, there’s a better way.rj45 unshielded connector A New Connector Design to Match Evolving Cable
The Platinum Tools ezEX-RJ45™ Connectors simplify connector termination
and also adapts to a wider variety of outer diameters, insulation
sizes, and conductor diameters. This new ezEX-RJ45™ Connectors are the
easiest RJ45 connector to terminate larger cables in the industry. A Connector System
The system includes a tool which works with lefties and righties, and
other well-thought-out features and accessories. After all, when you
start terminating cables, you don’t want to stop, take a look, and guess
whether each one is “good enough.” You want to know that you did a
top-notch job. Lots of experience in the business gives Platinum Tools
the knowledge for what you need, and good design is what makes the tool
and connector system a keeper. What’s In Your Connector Bins?
Platinum Tools reworked the trusty RJ45 in clever ways to make room for
growing cable outer diameters and insulation (conductor) diameters. We
also engineered two versions of the connector to provide the right size
for your specific cable parameters. It’s time to take the generic
connectors out of your bins, and set up to meet the advanced specs of
the new cable you’re using. The connectors work with a one-shot tool
system (EXO™ Crimp Frame) that is like a cable factory – it holds the
connector and wires in place and crimps, chops, and is done. Matching the Right Connector for your Cable
If you’re currently looking for the correct connector for the cable
you’re installing we have a great new tool for this: Platinum Tools
Connector Selector Guide will ask you a few questions (Cable Jacket OD,
Insulated Conductor OD, Shielded or Unshielded, Solid or Stranded) on
the cable terminating and then displays the connectors that will fit
your cable. This new tool will make selecting connectors much easier.
