Platinum Tools 100022C EZ-RJ45 Shielded Cat5e Cat6 Connector

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 100022C is a shielded EZ-RJ45 connector designed for Cat5e and Cat6 network cable terminations using an external ground configuration. This connector is built for structured cabling installations where shielding is required to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. Licensed low-voltage technicians and data cabling contractors install this connector using the EZ-RJ45 termination method, which allows cable conductors to pass through the front of the plug for clean, accurate cuts before crimping. It suits environments where shielded twisted-pair cable runs are specified by the cabling design.

This connector is used in commercial and residential structured cabling applications where shielded Cat5e or Cat6 cabling is deployed. Typical install scenarios include office data networks, industrial environments with high EMI exposure, and any project requiring STP or FTP cable terminations. The external ground design connects the cable shield to the connector body, maintaining the shielded pathway through the termination point. It is sold as a single connector per unit of measure.

Key Features

• EZ-RJ45 pass-through design allows conductors to extend beyond the plug for clean, precise trimming
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference on the cable run
• External ground configuration maintains shield continuity through the connector body
• Compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 shielded twisted-pair cable types
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed for use with shielded Cat5e and Cat6 cable in EZ-RJ45 style termination applications. Requires a compatible EZ-RJ45 crimp tool for proper termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician familiar with structured cabling standards. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating cable runs. A proper EZ-RJ45 compatible crimping tool is required to seat and terminate the connector correctly. Follow applicable standards such as TIA-568 for structured cabling installation practices.
