100021C – EZ-RJ45® Shielded Cat5e/6 Connector (Internal Ground) – 10/Clamshell
The EZ-RJ45® Shielded Cat5e/6 Connector (100021C) by Platinum Tools is an advanced, high-performance solution designed for professional network installations that require superior shielding and reliability. This connector combines the innovative EZ-RJ45® pass-through design with full shielding and internal grounding, offering unmatched electrical performance and protection against EMI/RFI interference.
By allowing the conductors to pass completely through the connector body, the EZ-RJ45® design ensures that wire twists are maintained closer to the contacts — a key factor in reducing crosstalk and maintaining Category 6 signal integrity. The integrated shield and internal ground deliver additional protection, making it ideal for environments with high levels of electrical noise or sensitive data transmission requirements.
Packaged conveniently in a 10-piece clamshell, this connector is perfect for field technicians, installers, and IT professionals who need efficient, high-quality, and secure terminations for both Cat5e and Cat6 shielded cables.
