What customers say
Customers consistently praise the superior quality and robust shielding of these Platinum Tools connectors. The included liner significantly simplifies the termination process, making cable management much easier, especially for thicker Cat 6 solid wire. While they are priced higher than standard connectors, users feel the reliability and reduced frustration during installation justify the cost, ensuring professional grade network performance every time.
Know before you buy
No, these connectors are specifically engineered for solid conductor Cat6 cable. The 3-prong contact design is optimized to penetrate and secure solid wires, so they should not be used with stranded conductors.
The two-piece system includes a liner that helps you align the individual wires before inserting them into the main connector housing. This significantly reduces errors during termination and ensures consistent performance by maintaining proper pair separation.
These connectors are designed to fit cables with a maximum jacket outer diameter of 0.285 inches. Ensure your specific Cat6 cable falls within this range to guarantee a proper fit and secure crimp.
You should use a professional-grade crimping tool compatible with shielded RJ45 connectors. Because these are shielded, the tool must be able to properly secure the metal housing to the cable's drain wire or shield to maintain signal integrity.
Yes, these connectors are both RoHS and UL compliant. These certifications ensure the product meets established environmental and safety standards for electronic components.
