"Streaming media traffic, whether, data, audio or video, is on a sharp rise and networks are demanding more bandwidth, " explained John Phillips, Platinum Tools, Inc. product manager. "That means bigger and usually shielded cable, such as Cat6E, Cat6A and Cat7. Our new 10Gig Kit terminates larger cable to meet 10-Gig standards. "

The connector choice is critical. In today's world, it needs to be at least 10-Gig rated, cable compatible, and field-terminate capable. "Our 10-Gig Cat6A shielded connector not only meets, but exceeds these requirements, " Phillips added. "Used along with the Tele-TitanXg Crimp Tool, our cable jacket stripper and external ground tab shielded crimper you achieve a consistent and optimal termination every time. "
