Platinum Tools 106185 RJ45 Cat6 Two-piece Connector 500/bag

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 106185 is a two-piece RJ45 (8P8C) Cat6 connector sold in a bag of 500. This style of connector uses a separate insert and outer housing, allowing the technician to thread cable through the outer body, seat the conductors into the insert for trimming and alignment, and then snap the assembly together before crimping. The design reduces termination errors on Cat6 cable by keeping conductors organized through the crimp cycle. It is used by low-voltage cabling contractors, network technicians, and structured wiring installers.

This connector is suited for Cat6 horizontal runs, patch cable fabrication, and structured cabling installations in residential and commercial environments. The two-piece format is particularly useful on larger-gauge Cat6 cable where single-piece connectors can be difficult to seat cleanly. Technicians working in IT closets, data centers, and commercial buildouts regularly stock this connector when terminating Cat6 in volume. The 500-count bag makes it practical for high-volume installation jobs.

Key Features

• Two-piece insert-and-housing design for accurate Cat6 conductor seating before crimping
• 8P8C configuration compatible with Cat6 structured cabling standards
• 500 connectors per bag for high-volume termination work
• Designed to reduce mis-terminations on larger-diameter Cat6 cable
• Sold per bag (unit of measure: EA at 500 per bag)

Compatibility

Designed for use with Cat6 Ethernet cable terminated to the 8P8C (RJ45) standard in structured cabling applications. Requires a crimp tool rated for two-piece Cat6 connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 wiring standards. Disconnect or de-energize any active network equipment before terminating live patch runs. Use a crimp tool specifically rated for two-piece Cat6 connectors, as standard single-piece crimp dies may not seat the two-piece assembly correctly. Verify conductor order against the chosen wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) before seating the insert into the outer housing.
