Yes, these Platinum connectors are those. We had used the Platinum Cat5e connectors and really like the push through feature. The part number listed below is a Cat 6/6a design that also allows for this, but a different crimper is required. That is the other part number. We are pretty hopeful these work better than the loading bar and non push through design.

Cannot remember what that is called. -----Original Message----- From: David Coudron Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2017 7:31 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Shielded Cat6 connectors Funny, but this is the exact path we are following as well. We tried the Quiktrex connectors and they were a disaster. The loading bar is far too messy to deal with in any where but a controlled environment. Trying to crimp at the top of a grainleg or tower, or even at the bottom in low lighting or tight spaces is very time consuming and fraught with errors. We spoke with Platinum and have just ordered the following two parts: 100061C - New crimper with new die 202048J - New Cat6 ends that will accommodate Cat6a as I understand it. These are not shielded ends, but from talking with Platinum, the same end will be available in shielded in a few weeks.

I had exactly the same discovery, opinion of the results and conversation with Shireen. I'll look into the Platinum Tools.
