“This is the ideal, complete kit,” said John Phillips, Platinum Tools, Inc. product manager. “Tester, crimper, scissors, stripper, and connectors, all in a handy hanging pouch. Every professional should have this on-hand during every call.”
The new patented EXO™ Crimp Frame with the interchangeable EXO-EX Die is designed to terminate the new patented, pass-through ezEX-RJ45 connectors. This new series of connectors will cover a wide range of insulation diameters (conductors) and cable jacket diameters, making it easy to select the right connector for your cable. All three sizes, ezEX38, ezEX44, and ezEX48, shielded or non-shielded, are rated for 10 Gig and PoE+ and can be used for Cat6A, Cat6, and Cat5e, covering a full insulation diameter range of 0.83mm – 1.22mm.
“In today’s networks, twisted pair cables are demanding more speed and bandwidth,” explained Phillips. “To help meet these requirements, 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® Termination System is the solution…providing greater cable-to-connector compatibility to meet higher performance demands.”
The MapMaster™ mini detects faults and locations of RJ45 network cables. Good terminations, causes of faults and locations of cables are displayed on an LCD display. A set of five mapping remotes is included for locating cables terminated in wall jacks or patch panels. A built-in tone generator with 4 different tone combinations can be used with a tone probe to detect where a cable is routed and the location of the end of the cable.
