Platinum Tools plans to give away three new EXO ezEX-RJ45 Termination and Test Kits during InfoComm 2017, held in Orlando, FL. from June 14-16 at the Orange County Convention Center. Potential winners only need to come by the Platinum Tools booth during the first three days of the show and get scanned in order to gain entry to the daily giveaway. One winner will be awarded each day of the show.
The winner of Residential Systems “Best of Show” CEDIA 2016 award, the ezEX-RJ45 Termination System with the new EXO Crimp Frame is shipping now. The ezEX-RJ45 Termination & Test Kit (p/n 90148) giveaway includes an EXO Crimp Frame with EXO-EX Die, 5-Inch Electrician’s Scissors, Cat-5e/6 Cable Jacket Stripper, ezEX44 RJ45 connectors (30 pcs), TP500 LanSeeker Cable Tester, and Hanging Pouch.
“This is the ideal, complete kit,” said John Phillips, Platinum Tools 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 EXO Crimp Frame is a RJ45 crimp tool that can terminate multiple sizes of cables and conductors. The crimp frame highlights two interchangeable dies that work with EZ-RJ45 and ezEX-RJ45 connectors. 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 and EXO-EX Die are specifically designed to crimp and flush-trim the protruding conductors in a single operation. This termination system couples two concurrently developed and matched solutions for terminating larger cables.
“In today’s networks, twisted-pair cables are demanding more speed and bandwidth,” said Phillips. “To help meet these requirements, Cat-5e/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 Termination System is the solution…providing greater cable to connector compatibility to meet higher performance demands.”
LanSeeker is a 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. A professional-grade tool, the LanSeeker is designed for installation and troubleshooting of twisted-pair security and datacom cables, supporting both unshielded or shielded twisted pair.
