Platinum Tools 202049J Ezex38 Shielded RJ45 Connector

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 202049J is a shielded RJ45 modular connector with internal grounding, designed for use in structured cabling and low-voltage data network installations. The EZex38 series connector is engineered to terminate shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable while providing an internal ground path, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in sensitive network environments. Low-voltage technicians and data cabling professionals use this connector when terminating shielded Cat cable runs in commercial and residential applications where signal integrity and proper ground continuity are required.

This connector is suited for structured cabling installations where shielded cable management is specified, such as in commercial office buildouts, industrial environments, or any setting with elevated EMI concerns. It is compatible with EZex38-style termination tools and is sold as a single unit (EA), making it practical for job-site stocking or small-quantity use.

Key Features

• Shielded RJ45 design with internal grounding for EMI reduction
• EZex38 series construction for use with compatible EZex-style termination tooling
• Supports shielded twisted-pair cable terminations
• Single-unit packaging for flexible procurement
• Designed for low-voltage structured cabling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use connector for shielded RJ45 modular termination applications using EZex38-compatible tooling and shielded twisted-pair cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician following applicable codes, including TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the cable shield is properly bonded to the connector ground before completing termination to maintain ground continuity throughout the run. Use only EZex-compatible termination tools to avoid damaging the connector housing or contacts. Verify that the connected patch panel or keystone jack is also shielded and grounded to complete the shielded system.
