Platinum Tools 100071BL EXO-EX Die Replacement Blade

In modern IP Video and Ethernet networks, twisted - pair cables need more speed and bandwidth. To meet these needs, the size of Cat5e/6/6A cables has grown. Both the outer diameter of the cable and the insulation diameter of the conductors are larger and vary by manufacturer, which makes cable - connector compatibility a tough challenge. The patented ezEX - RJ45 Termination System is the answer, offering better cable - to - connector compatibility for higher performance. The ezEX - RJ45 connectors have a unique integrated Hi - Lo stagger load bar, letting 'big' conductors pass through the front end easily, so you can verify the wiring sequence before termination. Key features include single - cycle crimp and flush trim, easily interchangeable EXO Die, reversible EXO Die for left - or right - handed use, connectors that lock into the tool for proper positioning during crimp, a push - button lock for easy storage, and ergonomic TPR handles for comfortable gripping.

Using this replacement blade is straightforward. First, make sure your tool is turned off. If you're replacing an old blade, unlock the push - button lock to access the blade area. Remove the old blade carefully. Then, insert the new Platinum Tools 100071BL EXO - EX Die Replacement Blade into the tool. Lock it in place using the push - button lock. When using the tool for cable termination, place the connector in the tool and ensure it locks in for correct positioning. Then perform a single - cycle crimp and flush trim operation. Note that the EXO Die is reversible, so you can use it whether you're left - handed or right - handed. For storage, just use the push - button lock to keep the tool compact. To maintain the blade, keep it clean. After use, wipe it gently with a dry cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaning agent, but make sure to dry it thoroughly before the next use.
