The crimp frame highlights two interchangeable dies that work with EZ-RJ45\u00ae and ezEX-RJ45\u00aeconnectors. The tool design allows for future upgrades by purchasing a new die. The new ezEX-RJ45 feed-through connectors with staggered channels matched with the new EXO Crimp Frame + EXO-EX Die are specifically designed to crimp and flush-trim the protruding conductors in a single operation. This patented new termination system couples two concurrently developed and matched solutions for terminating larger cables.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u201cIn today\u2019s networks, twisted pair cables are demanding more speed and bandwidth,\u201d explained Phillips. \u201cTo help meet these requirements, Cat5e\/6\/6A cables have increased in size. Both the outer diameter of the cable and the insulation diameter of the conductors are larger and vary by manufacturer, making cable and connector compatibility a challenge. Platinum Tools new patented ezEX-RJ45\u00ae Termination System is the solution\u2026providing greater cable to connector compatibility to meet higher performance demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/products\/testers\/network-testers\/lanseeker-cable-tester-tp500\/\">LanSeeker<\/a> is a fast, rugged cable tester and tone generator in one unit, displaying cable test results using LED indicators on the main and the self-stored remote unit. An easy-to-use professional grade tool, the LanSeeker is ideal for installation and troubleshooting of twisted pair security and datacom cables, supporting both unshielded or shielded twisted pair, making it a must have for residential and commercial cable installers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1194&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;\/sections\/ezex-rj45-demo\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2166&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1529065671664{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]Platinum Tools is proud to announce the winners of three new EXO ezEX-RJ45\u00ae Termination &amp; Test Kits during the 2018 Infocomm Show. \u00a0One winner was\u00a0awarded each day of the show.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2164&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text] 1st winner Jonathan Lake ABC Audio Video [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2163&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text] 2nd winner Kevin Gabriel Cinemassive [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2162&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]&#8230; <a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/news-and-events\/infocomm-2018-winners\/\"><nobr>Read more &raquo;<\/nobr><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[5,3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2160"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2160"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2167,"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2160\/revisions\/2167"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.platinumtools.com\/sections\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
