The Platinum Tools 100071C EXO-EX Die for EXO Crimp Frame is used with the EXO Crimp Frame to terminate ezEX-RJ45 connectors (typically used in Cat6 and Cat6A). The EXO-EX Die is interchangeable and reversible when used with the EXO Crimp Frame. The EXO-EX Die is designed to lock connectors into place, seating them in the correct position for termination. The die is equipped with a hardened steel blade to trim the conductors flush to the face of the connector during termination. The hardened steel improves the life of the blade, allowing the blade to stay sharper and last longer between blade replacements. The EXO-EX Die is specifically designed for the ezEX-RJ45 connectors (ezEX44 and ezEX48), which are an RJ45 pass through connector, developed for larger cables and conductors.
