Description
This Platinum Tools RJ45 shielded Cat6 connector is engineered to simplify high‑performance network terminations. Designed as a two‑piece shielded system with a built‑in liner, it delivers quick, reliable terminations for CAT6 cabling while preserving signal integrity. The staggered loading bar acts as a precise stopping point for pair separation, helping you maintain the correct wiring order from the first conductor to the last. With flush‑cut conductors and a straightforward assembly process, this connector minimizes guesswork and maximizes consistency across installations. Ideal for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts, it’s built to handle the demands of today’s gigabit and multi‑gig networks with ease.
- Two‑piece shielded design for easier terminations: The shielded housing reduces EMI/RFI interference and provides a robust, reliable connection for CAT6 networks, making it well suited for environments with high electrical noise or crowded cable runs. The modular, two‑piece construction simplifies seating and crimping, helping you achieve repeatable results on every jack and patch panel.
- Round solid conductors with liner for clean terminations: The round solid conductor presentation, combined with an integrated liner, keeps conductors aligned and in place during termination. This reduces strand fraying and mis‑alignment, contributing to a cleaner, more professional finish that’s easier to inspect and troubleshoot.
- Three‑Prog. loading compatibility (3‑Prog.) for installer flexibility: The 3‑Prog. design gives installers multiple alignment options to accommodate different wiring schemes and tool profiles, helping you adapt the termination process to your preferred workflow without compromising performance.
- Staggered loading bar to prevent pair misorder: The loading bar sequencing serves as a precise guide to maintain the correct order of pairs as you terminate, ensuring consistent pair configuration and reducing the risk of crosstalk or miswiring on longer runs.
- Bulk packaging for professional use (100 per jar): Each jar contains 100 connectors, making it cost‑effective for field techs, installers, and contractors who terminate many runs without sacrificing quality or reliability.

how to install [Platinum Tools RJ45 Shielded Cat6 2pc. Connector]
Follow these steps to achieve a solid and reliable CAT6 termination with the shielded two‑piece connector:
- Prepare the cable: Strip back the outer jacket and shield according to your standard practice, exposing the individual conductors just long enough to reach the connector’s loading area.
- Arrange conductors: Place the eight conductors in the correct order for your wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and align them with the shielded connector’s staggered loading bar to prevent pair separation.
- Insert into the connector: Slide the conductors into the connector with the liner engaged, ensuring each conductor seats fully against the face of the plug and follows the intended sequence. The staggered loading bar should act as a stop to preserve pair orientation.
- Trim flush: Once seated, flush‑cut the conductors so that only the minimal conductor length protrudes from the connector. This helps ensure a clean crimp and reliable contact.
- Crimp and test: Insert the assembled connector into a compatible RJ45 crimp tool and actuate the tool until the termination is completed and the connector seats securely in the tool jaw. After crimping, perform a continuity and insulation test to verify the termination meets CAT6 performance standards.
Frequently asked questions
-
What makes this connector different from standard RJ45 plugs?
The two‑piece shielded design, integrated liner, and staggered loading bar set this connector apart by simplifying termination, improving mechanical stability, and helping maintain precise pair order for better CAT6 performance in challenging environments.
-
Is it compatible with CAT6 networks and typical RJ45 applications?
Yes. The connector is engineered for CAT6 terminations and supports common RJ45 applications, including gigabit Ethernet and higher‑speed deployments over appropriate cable runs.
-
How many connectors come in a jar?
Each jar contains 100 connectors, making it suitable for bulk project use and repeated installations.
-
Do I need a special tool to terminate these connectors?
Standard RJ45 crimp tools are typically compatible. Ensure your tool is appropriate for shielded, two‑piece connectors and matches CAT6 termination requirements.
-
Will shielding affect grounding or overall cable grounding schemes?
The shielding is designed to reduce EMI/RFI and improve signal integrity. Proper grounding practices should still be followed for your system’s overall EMI management and metal enclosure safety.
