Overview
The Platinum Tools 13501C Xpress Jack is a specialized termination tool designed to simplify the installation of compatible keystone jacks in structured cabling systems. It seats and trims all eight conductors in a single operation, reducing the repeated manual punching required with conventional termination methods.
The tool includes a Platinum Tools die and is designed for 110-type, four-pair keystone jacks. Its heavy-duty carbon steel construction, rust-resistant black oxide finish, and comfort-grip thermoplastic rubber (TPR) handles support repeated use in network installation and structured wiring work.
The Xpress Jack is suitable for professional installers handling network outlets, patch-panel connections, and other compatible keystone jack terminations. Die compatibility is important before purchase: the included die is intended for Platinum Tools keystone jacks and compatible designs. A separate die is available for supported Leviton keystone jacks.
