Platinum Tools Ez-RJ45 Cat6 100 Piece Jar - Durable Pack

In this review the Platinum Tools Ez-RJ45 Cat6 100 Piece Jar is evaluated for IT technicians, installers and anyone terminating Cat6 patch cables who needs a large, reliable supply of connectors. The bottom line: this jar delivers consistent, time-saving terminations because the EZ-RJ45 design simplifies cable insertion and crimping, making it a practical choice when speed and durability matter most. For those who terminate cables regularly, the 100-piece jar is a strong value and reduces trips to restock.

Key Features

• EZ-RJ45 Design: The connector shape speeds up cable insertion and alignment, cutting termination time on repetitive jobs.
• Cat6 Performance: Rated for Cat6, these RJ45 plugs support higher bandwidth LAN needs typical of modern networks.
• 8P8C Contacts: Standard 8 position/8 contact configuration ensures compatibility with typical Ethernet wiring and tools.
• Cable Mounting: Cable-mounted connectors stay secured to the cable jacket for reliable physical connections after crimping.
• Economical Pack Size: The 100-piece jar reduces per-connector cost and keeps a ready supply on the bench for multiple jobs.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at network installers, IT staff, and small contractors who terminate many Cat6 cables and value speed and consistency. The 100-piece jar format suits shop use or projects where maintaining a large stock avoids downtime.

Those who only make a handful of terminations or who require shielded connectors or RoHS compliance should look elsewhere; these are unshielded, non-RoHS compliant Cat6 RJ45 plugs intended for mainstream, unshielded UTP installations rather than special environments.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High perceived quality and durability from customer feedback, with few reported bad terminations.
• Good value for money given the 100-piece jar and consistent performance on many jobs.
• Easy to use design that many users say saves time during installation and simplifies work flow.

Cons

• Non-RoHS compliant and unshielded, so not suitable for installations that require shielding or RoHS certification.
