Platinum Tools 105020 EZ-RJ45 Shielded Cat5e Connector

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 105020 is a shielded EZ-RJ45 connector designed for Cat5e network cabling terminations. It accepts the EZ-RJ45 pass-through crimping method, allowing conductors to feed through the front of the connector for easier alignment and trimming before crimping. The shielded housing provides EMI and RFI protection, making it suitable for installations where signal integrity is a priority. Network technicians, low-voltage electricians, and structured cabling installers use this connector for both new runs and service work on shielded twisted-pair Cat5e infrastructures.

This connector is used in commercial and residential structured cabling installations where shielded Cat5e cable is specified. Typical applications include data centers, office network drops, industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference, and anywhere shielded cabling is required by spec or code. It is sold individually and is intended for use with compatible EZ-RJ45 pass-through crimp tools.

Key Features

• Pass-through EZ-RJ45 design allows conductors to extend through the front for clean, accurate terminations
• Shielded housing reduces EMI and RFI interference on Cat5e runs
• Designed for shielded twisted-pair Cat5e cable
• Sold individually for precise quantity control on any job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style connector for use with shielded Cat5e cable in EZ-RJ45 pass-through termination systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or licensed electricians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Use a compatible EZ-RJ45 pass-through crimp tool to ensure proper conductor seating and shield termination. Verify that the cable shield is properly bonded at both ends to achieve the full benefit of shielded cabling. Avoid over-stripping the cable jacket, as excess exposed pairs can compromise shield continuity.
