FAQs

What is the Platinum Tools 106187C CAT6 connector and what makes it unique?
The Platinum Tools 106187C is a high-performance CAT6 network connector featuring a unique 2-piece design system with a staggered loading bar. It's specifically designed for solid conductors and includes 8 conductor mod plugs with RJ-45 male termination. The connector's distinctive feature is its simplified termination process using the loading bar as a stopping point for pair separation, allowing for quick and easy installation.
What are the key specifications for cable compatibility with this connector?
This connector is designed for specific cable dimensions: it accommodates conductors with an O.D. Range of .044" and features a maximum cable jacket O.D. of .280". It uses 0.30mm (.012) 3-prong contacts and is specifically designed for solid conductors only. The connector is not compatible with stranded cables, making it important to verify your cable type before purchase.
How many connectors come in each package and how are they packaged?
Each package contains 25 connectors packaged in a clamshell container. The clamshell packaging helps protect the connectors during shipping and storage while allowing for easy access and inventory management. This quantity is ideal for both professional installers and projects requiring multiple terminations.
What certifications and compliance standards does this connector meet?
The Platinum Tools 106187C is both RoHS and UL compliant, ensuring it meets environmental and safety standards. The RoHS certification confirms it's environmentally friendly and free from restricted hazardous substances, while the UL compliance ensures it meets safety and quality standards for network connectivity components.
What is the termination process for these connectors?
The termination process is straightforward: First, use the staggered loading bar as a guide for pair separation and maintaining proper wiring configuration. Then, flush cut the conductors to length. Finally, slide the assembly into the connector and terminate. This 2-piece system design significantly simplifies the CAT6 termination process compared to traditional connectors.
