June 27, 2023

Platinum Tools®, the leader in solutions for the preparation, installation, hand termination and testing of wire and cable, is proud to announce its new PTS Pro Crimp Tool (p/n 12520C) is now shipping.

“Platinum Tools’ new PTS (Pass Through Standard) Pro Crimp Tool takes years of Platinum Tools innovations and combines multiple tools into one sleek design,” explained Sean Rothermel, Platinum Tools product manager. “The PTS Pro allows for the termination of both ezEX-RJ45 connectors and the legacy EZ-RJ45 connectors in a single tool with no part changes. This is a single tool for all Platinum Tools terminations.”

The tool utilizes a sliding plate to change between the different types of connectors and a captive thumb screw to make swapping between connector styles seamless. The tool features a connector locking mechanism so connectors “click” into the tool for termination. This tool also includes the cutting and stripping blades for Cat5e and 6 built directly into the handle.

Additional PTS Pro Crimp Tool features and specifications include:

  • Crimps standard pass-through and standard RJ45 connectors
  • Wiring guide printed directly on the tool for easy connector wiring
  • Ergonomic grip for comfort during extended use
  • Replaceable blades
  • Smooth single cycle operation
  • For both UTP and STP connectors
