Asheridge Introduces New Connector and Crimping Tool (20/2/2007)

Asheridge Communications, the specialist provider of custom installation solutions, has announced two new products designed to make custom installation easier and quicker. The new Easy Terminating RJ45 connector simplifies installation and optimises electrical performance of twisted pair cable terminations whilst the EZ-RJ45(r) Crimp tool is an ideal crimping tool for use with the RJ45 connector.

The RJ45 connector from Asheridge is a one piece design which allows the wires to be inserted through the connector and out through its front for an easier termination. Electrical performance is improved since the connector is pulled down over the cable jacket, seating it tightly in the rear of the connector. Reducing the distance between the wire twists and contacts also improves network performance. The RJ45 ensures easier verification of wire sequences, in turn making terminations faster, reducing scrap, and eliminating wasted crimps. It is perfect for Cat 3, 5, 5E and anticipated Cat 6 data networks cords.

The patented EZ-RJ45(r) Crimp Tool available from Asheridge designed to quickly crimp and cut the wires of the RJ45 and other Connectors in one, simple operation. The ratcheted, straight-action, crimping motion provides a uniform crimp every cycle. It also features precision-cast crimping dies for superior accuracy, as well as a built in wire cutter and stripper.

Both products are available from Asheridge as part of its wide range of leading brand solutions to make custom installation and electrical contracting quicker and easier.
