Aug. 24, 2018
Platinum Tools has launched the ezEX-RJ45 shielded connectors, which are designed for larger cables and conductors.

Platinum Tools has launched the ezEX-RJ45 shielded connectors, which are designed for larger cables and conductors. They feature an integrated H-Lo stagger load bar and allow big conductors to pass through the front end of the connector. As such, they make it easy to verify the wire sequence before terminating, says Lee Sachs, president and general manager of Platinum Tools.
