Description
The Original EZ-RJ45 CAT6 Connector simplifies twisted pair terminations by allowing the wires to be inserted through the connector and out the front. This innovative pass-through design enables technicians to easily verify the proper wiring order, reducing miswires and re-terminations while delivering CAT6 performance for fast, reliable networks. Built for professional use, these connectors are designed to streamline installations from patch panels to wall outlets, delivering consistent terminations with every hand-off.
- Ingenious pass-through design: Wires enter from the back and emerge at the front, enabling you to verify the exact wiring order at a glance, minimize guesswork in tight spaces, and confirm color-code alignment before the final seating. This hands-on visibility helps prevent common errors that can slow projects and compromise network performance.
- CAT6 performance tailored for speed: Engineered to support higher bandwidth networks, these connectors maintain precise impedance and ferrule alignment to reduce crosstalk and loss. They are optimized for Gigabit Ethernet and can help you achieve reliable performance on CAT6 cabling, particularly when paired with appropriate cable lengths and high-quality jacks.
- Time-saving termination for professionals: By allowing real-time verification of wiring order during feed-in, these connectors cut rework and termination time. Ideal for dense telecommunications rooms, patch panels, and in-field installations where speed and accuracy matter, they help installers stay on schedule without sacrificing quality.
- Compatibility and versatility for diverse jobs: Designed to work with standard twisted-pair CAT6 cables and to integrate with Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 termination systems. This compatibility makes them a versatile choice for network upgrades, new builds, and maintenance projects across residential, commercial, and data-center environments.
- Durable, reusable design for long-term use: Constructed from rugged materials with dependable contact integrity, these connectors withstand frequent terminations and re-terminations. They’re built to endure the rigors of daily network deployments and service cycles, offering reliable performance over time.

how to install Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 CAT6 Connectors
- Prepare the cable: Strip the outer jacket to the recommended length, unwind and untwist the pairs to the correct length, and trim conductors to the proper protrusion for the connector.
- Align the wires: Arrange the conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B) using the color-coding guide in the connector’s housing.
- Insert through the connector: Feed the wires from the rear so they extend through to the front, ensuring each conductor seats fully and follows the intended path for clean terminations.
- Inspect wiring order: Visually verify that each wire is in the correct position and order before crimping, correcting any misplacements to prevent miswires.
- Crimp and test: Place the connector in the EZ-RJ45 crimp tool and complete the cycle until the tool completes; test with a cable tester to confirm continuity and correct pin-out.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: Are these connectors compatible with Cat5e cables?
A: They are designed for CAT6 twisted-pair cables and optimal performance with CAT6. Some pass-through CAT6 connectors may accommodate Cat5e, but for best results and reliability, use CAT6 cables with the EZ-RJ45 connectors and the recommended termination system.
-
Q: Can I reuse these connectors if I need to reterminate?
A: Pass-through connectors are generally reusable until the housing or contacts show wear. Re-terminations can be performed, but repeated cycles may eventually compromise performance. When in doubt, replace worn connectors to preserve signal integrity.
-
Q: Do I need a specific crimp tool?
A: For best results, use the Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 termination system as recommended. The EZ-RJ45 connectors are designed to pair with the corresponding tool for consistent seating, crimping, and termination quality across installations.
-
Q: Do these connectors support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
A: CAT6 connectors are specified to support 10GBASE-T at typical network lengths within its standard limits. Always verify the maximum supported length for your environment and ensure cabling, terminations, and environments meet the required specifications for 10G performance.
