Platinum Tools 100025C Ez-ex Shielded Cat 6 Connector

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 100025C is a shielded Cat 6 connector designed for structured cabling installations where electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is required. This EZ-EX style connector supports full cable pass-through during termination, allowing the installer to visually verify conductor alignment before the final crimp. It is suited for network cabling runs in commercial and residential environments where shielded twisted-pair (STP) infrastructure is specified. Licensed low-voltage technicians and data cabling contractors are the primary installers of this component.

The 100025C is used in shielded Cat 6 network installations, particularly in environments with high EMI exposure such as industrial facilities, healthcare settings, and commercial buildings where STP cabling is required by spec or by code. It terminates shielded Cat 6 cable to provide a secure, interference-resistant connection at patch panels, keystones, or field-termination points. Each unit is sold individually.

Key Features

• Shielded design provides EMI protection for Cat 6 STP cable runs
• EZ-EX pass-through termination style allows visual conductor verification before crimping
• Rated for Cat 6 performance standards
• Single-unit packaging for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field-termination connector for shielded Cat 6 (STP) cabling installations. Requires a compatible EZ-EX crimp tool for proper termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the cable shield is properly bonded to the connector shell to maintain continuity of the shielded pathway. De-energize any powered patch equipment before terminating or seating connectors at active panels. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during dressing and termination.
