Designed for network installers who demand reliability in the harshest environments, the Platinum Tools Shielded EZ-RJ45 connector combines fast, front-access verification with robust shield protection. This shielded CAT5e and CAT6 RJ45 termination solution features an external ground to preserve shielding integrity and minimize RF/EMI interference. Whether you’re building a data center, performing in-field cable runs, or tackling challenging installations near powerful electrical equipment, this connector helps you achieve clean, repeatable terminations with fewer callbacks. Its innovative EZ-RJ45 design lets you thread the wires through the connector and out the front for quick wiring verification, saving time and reducing miswiring errors. With Platinum Tools, you get a professional-grade connector engineered to deliver consistent performance, year after year.

  • EZ-RJ45 front-wire verification: The original EZ-RJ45 design lets you thread conductors through the connector and view wiring sequence from the front, making it easy to confirm correct termination before crimping.
  • Shielded performance for CAT5e & CAT6: Specifically built for shielded twisted-pair cables, this connector preserves shielding integrity to minimize RF noise and crosstalk in demanding environments.
  • External ground for superior shielding: An integrated external ground path helps maintain a continuous shield around the pair, helping to reduce EMI/RF interference at the point of termination.
  • Durable, professional design: Crafted to stand up to repeated use in the field, with a rugged housing and high‑quality contacts that promote reliable connections and long service life.
  • User-friendly for quick installs: Engineered for straightforward terminations with standard tools, enabling fast, repeatable results without sacrificing performance or reliability.

how to install Platinum Tools Shielded EZ-RJ45 for CAT5e & CAT6 with External Ground

  • Prepare the cable by trimming back the jacket to expose the twisted pairs, taking care not to nick the conductors. Use a proper stripper to ensure clean, square cuts and consistent conductor lengths.
  • Choose your wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and arrange the individual conductors in the correct order. The front-view verification feature helps you confirm the sequence before you terminate.
  • Slide the conductors into the connector through the rear, guiding them straight into the contact slots. Ensure each wire seats fully and aligns with the intended position to prevent mis-termination.
  • Crimp the connector with an appropriate RJ45 crimping tool designed for shielded terminations. Apply steady, even pressure to secure the contacts and establish a solid shield connection. If the connector includes an external ground lead, attach it to the equipment grounding path as required by your installation standards.
  • Inspect the termination visually for proper conductor alignment and seating. Use a cable tester to confirm continuity, pair integrity, and correct pinout. If any conductors are out of place, rework the termination promptly to avoid network issues.
  • Attach the shield ground to the relevant chassis or shielded enclosure grounding point, following your local electrical and building codes. This step is essential for maintaining shield integrity in environments with significant electromagnetic interference.
  • Perform a final test on the installed link to verify performance. If the test indicates any faults, re-terminate the connector or replace the housing as needed to ensure a reliable connection.

Frequently asked questions

  • What cables are supported by this shielded EZ-RJ45 connector? It is designed for shielded CAT5e and CAT6 twisted-pair cables, offering enhanced shielding and grounding for RF-prone installations.
  • How does the external ground improve performance? The external ground path helps maintain shield continuity around the twisted pairs, reducing EMI/RF interference and helping preserve signal integrity, especially in environments with dense electrical activity.
  • Can I use standard RJ45 crimp tools with this connector? Yes, you can use a standard RJ45 crimping tool compatible with shielded terminations. Ensure the tool is suited for shielded connectors to achieve a consistent crimp and proper shield contact.
  • Is this connector suitable for field deployments? Yes. The rugged design and front-view wiring verification are specifically intended to streamline field terminations while maintaining high reliability in challenging environments.
  • Do I need to modify grounding when using shielded cables? In most cases, you should connect the shield ground to the equipment or chassis grounding path per your local codes and installation standards. This ensures the shield remains effective and compliant with regulations.
  • Will this connector work with both solid and stranded conductors? The EZ-RJ45 shielded design is compatible with common CAT5e/CAT6 installations, which typically include solid or stranded conductors. Always verify conductor sizing and connector compatibility for your specific cable type.

Great for decreasing screen time, a great phone with great features
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I love the form factor of this phone. Perfect for those trying to decrease time spent online. Battery life is very good considering how small the phone is. I could often go 2 days without charging. Most apps work well, would occasionally have to turn the screen landscape to use some apps. My one complaint. The water resistance was not great in my experience. I took it on a run, and some sweat migrated between the screen and plastic case, and it was toast. (Pictured) I understand obviously phones can’t get wet, but when I tell you it was minimal. I truly loved this device…….if they would be willing to fix mine or send me another I would be ecstatic. If a version with better water resistance is released I will be buying.

Jelly Star mini smartphone is a bundle of joy
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I've been using the Jelly Star about a week now and have no regrets about my purchase. I have the blue color and it's really pretty. This phone is as good as the reviews I researched said it was. Very fast, has all features of a regular smart phone but easy to hold in one hand and carry in pocket. This phone is 3/4" thick with a screen 2.75" x 1.5" and comes with a protective case. Good connection with T-Mobile cell towers, nice variety of ring tones, decent camera for snapshots. When it first arrived I was hesitant to commit, worried that with the tiny print I would struggle, but now that I got it connected I'm really happy with it. I'm old enough that without reading glasses, I need to squint to see the print in text messages, but it has a zoom feature that works well once you get used to it, and I plan to use other devices for viewing the images I take with it. Bought it mainly to have as a basic communication device that isn't bulky/in the way all the time. Don't have to constantly charge the battery either. Only using the phone for calls, texts, and WhatsApp; so far only need to charge it every 3 days. I took the time to research online how to stop apps from running in the background which should also help conserve the battery. I'm looking forward to loading music on it and maybe even taking it for a run once I get the headphones and armband accessories. I recommend it.

Screen Stopped Working Amazon Denied Refund
Color: Black
I bought this phone 2 months ago and within a week the screen stopped working. It stopped responding to any touch. I sent it back to Amazon in its original physical condition in its original packaging and ordered a second one. The second one has battery issues where it randomly starts heating up and dies within a couple of hours. Just found out amazon denied my return because they said the phone was damaged. It was not. I love the idea of the phone but the execution is poor and because there's no reliable way to get replacements I definitely would not recommend risking it.

Works on Visible (Verizon)
Color: Black
For the price, this little device offers no compromises aside from the obvious. It's quick, offers a full day of battery life, and has a feature set to rival much more expensive competition. The screen despite it's size is fully usable for my every day tasks. Texting, web browsing, reading comics, etc are all viable if you have the eyes for it. The build quality is great. This reminds me of an old Nokia in the hand. I've also had no signal problems in rural Appalachia. And yes, it *does* work on Verizon, but you'll need another phone to activate the sim with before transferring it over.
