Example Installation Scenario
A network installer upgrading a commercial office building or deploying new 10 Gigabit network infrastructure may be installing Cat6A or Cat7 cabling between switches, patch panels, and network equipment. With the Platinum Tools 90170 10Gig Termination Kit, the technician can quickly strip the cable jacket using the Cyclops 2 stripper, arrange the conductors into the shielded RJ45 connector, and complete a precise termination using the Tele-TitanXg crimp tool.
For shielded cabling environments where EMI protection is critical—such as data centers, surveillance systems, or AV distribution networks—the CT-360 ground crimp tool ensures proper grounding of the connector shield, maintaining reliable high-speed network performance.
This streamlined workflow improves installation efficiency while delivering professional-quality terminations.
