Review on 🔌 Platinum Tools 100020 EZ-RJ45 Shielded Cat5e/6 (Internal Ground), Green - 50/Bag by Leonard Babers

These connectors will NOT work with Cable Matters Cat6A (S/FTP) 23AWG shielded cables. Period. Now I can't be 100% sure that these are actually Platinum Tools connectors because a closer look at the product description led me to the text "This item is not sold directly by Platinum Tools." Although apparently it is is supplied and sold by Revain, I believe it could still be a counterfeit product. But me and a 30 year old electrical engineer made sure that due to the size of the cable not even one cable goes through the end of the plug. If you try to use force, the cables will only be pinched. Attempts were made with the EZ-RJ45PRO-HD crimping tool. These similar ends will also not work with 23AWG cables, same result: Pro Shielded EZ RJ45 CAT6 Connector 8P8C End Pass Through would be expected, this is Cable Matters Brand Cable Matters (50-Pack) RJ45 Cat 6A Shielded Modular Plugs with Sheaths for Voltage Help. However, this requires a special tool to crimp the end properly. There is a kit I ordered (Platinum Tools 90170 10Gig Termination Kit) that is similar to the same type of termination and includes 100 terminations, crimping tool, cable jacket stripper. , and an external grounding crimp tool. Good luck in your endeavors! Hope that helps.
