Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 CAT6 Connectors – 100 per Jar

Engineered for professional network installations, the Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 CAT6 Connectors offer a streamlined, field-ready solution for high-performance twisted-pair terminations. As the original EZ-RJ45 design, these connectors simplify wiring by letting technicians feed wires through the connector and out the front, providing immediate visibility of the wiring order before you crimp. This forward-facing approach reduces mis-wires, speeds up terminations, and enhances accuracy in demanding environments such as data centers, office fit-outs, and home-network upgrades. Built to deliver reliable CAT6 performance, these connectors are a trusted choice for installers who demand precision, efficiency, and durable, repeatable results in every termination. In a jar of 100, they’re ideal for contractors, technicians, and training programs that require a dependable, cost-effective solution for bulk installs.

• Pass-through design for CAT6 terminations: wires are inserted through the connector and exit from the front, enabling instant verification of color order and termination accuracy before crimping.
• Original EZ-RJ45 concept for faster, more reliable terminations: streamline twisted-pair wiring with a straightforward, field-proven approach that minimizes guesswork and re-terminations.
• CAT6 performance with precision contacts: engineered for robust data transmission, maintaining signal integrity across standard CAT6 installations while supporting common industry wiring schemes.
• Compatibility and versatility: designed for standard 8P8C RJ45 cables and suitable for both solid and stranded copper conductors, making them a versatile choice for new builds, renovations, and network upgrades.
• Value-packed packaging: 100 connectors per jar provide an economical and convenient supply for large deployments, training labs, or ongoing service work without sacrificing quality.

How to install Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 CAT6 Connectors

• Prepare the cable: Remove the outer jacket to expose the conductors, trim, and untwist the cable pair to the required length as specified by your wiring scheme (TIA/EIA-568A or 568B). Keep conductors neatly aligned to prevent strand fraying.
• Plan the wiring order: Decide which standard you will follow and arrange the conductors accordingly before insertion. Having a clear order helps minimize mistakes and rework during installation.
• Insert wires from the back: Feed the stripped wires through the back of the EZ-RJ45 connector so that they exit the front of the connector in the correct sequence. The pass-through design allows you to visually confirm conductor placement as you go.
• Crimp the termination: Once the wires are fully seated and order is verified, place the connector into a standard RJ-45 crimp tool and apply even, firm pressure to terminate the contacts onto the conductors. Ensure the tool engages the contacts fully for a reliable connection.
• Inspect and test: After crimping, visually inspect the termination for proper seating and conductor exposure. Use a cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity, and proper wiring order. Trim any excess conductors if needed and re-test until all pairs are correct.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What makes EZ-RJ45 CAT6 Connectors different from standard RJ-45 connectors? A: These connectors employ a pass-through, front-exit design that allows wires to be inserted from the back and visibly exited at the front, enabling immediate verification of wire order before crimping. This original design helps reduce mis-wires and re-terminations in the field.
• Q: Are these connectors compatible with both solid and stranded CAT6 cables? A: Yes. They are designed to work with standard CAT6 cables and can accommodate commonly used solid and stranded copper conductors, following the manufacturer’s guidelines for best results.
• Q: Do I need a special tool to install these connectors? A: A standard RJ-45 crimp tool is recommended for terminating these connectors. The pass-through design itself does not require special tooling beyond the appropriate crimping instrument, but always follow the tool manufacturer's instructions for best performance.
• Q: How many connectors come in a jar? A: Each jar contains 100 EZ-RJ45 CAT6 connectors, giving installers a ready supply for bulk projects, service calls, or training labs.
• Q: Are these connectors compliant with industry standards? A: They are designed to meet common CAT6 termination requirements used in professional installations and data infrastructure. For exact standards and certifications, refer to product packaging and specification sheets at the time of purchase.
