Designed for technicians working in any space that relies on RJ45 interconnections to transmit data at high speeds and volumes (broadcast, aerospace, networking, etc.) the Platinum Tools EZ-Viking is a crimp tool which cuts off conductors in the cable you're working with, thereby resulting in a precision-cut EZ-RJ45 termination point. The tool is used to terminate EZ-RJ45 Cat5e/6 connection cables-both shielded and regular, external or internal-using high-leverage ratchet action to guarantee a full crimp cycle.

Its zero-flex frame eliminates torque loss during the crimping cycle, while its steel die provides 360° connector-support during the crimp. Using proper cabling technique with this device can actually result in a stronger electrical interconnection than standard-issue Cat5e/6 terminations, as you can wedge the individual conductors closer to the termination point, and cut cleanly, sharply, and precisely across for a flush trim.
