Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of EZ-RJ45 CAT-5 CONNECTORS 50-PACK
Customer Review: Have to get their own crimp tool
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased these connectors thinking it would make my life easier in preparing network connections.
Since I already had my own RJ 45 tool, I did not purchase the EZ branded one.
However, the EZ connectors come with plastic in front of the pins, and I assume their crimp tool shaves that off as part of the crimping action.
With the regular crimp tool, that layer of plastic remained and it acted as an insulator.
The plastic pushed the connectors in the jack away instead of allowing them to make contract with the pins, as per the RJ 45 standard.
Consequently my terminations did not give me the "Easy" connection they claimed.
I wasted a couple of days troubleshooting the problem and ended up cutting out grooves with a utility knife and a dental pick on each jack to allow the connectors in the jack to come into contact with the EZ RJ Connector. I even ended up stabbing my finger in the process.
So beware that these apparently are only "easy" if you also get their special crimp tool (another 50+ $).
The only thing that they allow for, if you don't have their special tool, is to align the right wire pairs and see them come through the other end to verify. But with the extra time spent cutting out the grooves, it made it a lot more difficult than regular plain vanilla RJ45 connectors.
Description of EZ-RJ45 CAT-5 CONNECTORS 50-PACK
Platinum Tools' EZ-RJ45? connector simplifies twisted pair terminations by allowing the wires to be inserted through the connector and out the front. Technicians can easily verify the proper wiring order. Performance is improved by reducing the distance between the wire twists and contacts, thus promoting faster terminations.Kitchen and Housewares
