Excel introduces fast and easy RJ45 Plug Range

WE ARE ACUTELY AWARE OF THE PRESSURES OUR CUSTOMERS FACE ON TIME , AND THAT TIME IS VERY CLEARLY MONEY WHEN IT COMES TO INSTALLATION PROCESSES .

Excel 100-117 Fast RJ45 Plugs
Excel Networking has announced the launch of its new FAST product range .

Excel , the copper and optical fibre

cabling infrastructure provider , has announced the availability of a new range of unscreened RJ45 field terminated plugs , boots and tools with immediate effect .
The FAST solution is also easy to use . The plugs are compatible with both Category 5e and 6 cables and can be purchased with or without blade style high density transparent strain relief boots .
The fast and easy installation is achieved thanks to the push through design of the plug body , as well as the use of a single tool to terminate the plug , position the boot when used and trim excess wires .
Ross McLetchie , Mayflex Sales Director , said : “ Whilst not the most significant launch of recent times the introduction of the FAST range is a useful addition to the Excel offering .
“ We are acutely aware of the pressures our customers face on time , and that time is very clearly money when it comes to installation processes .
“ This introduction follows on from multiple examples of products within our range that save on time but don ’ t compromise on quality or performance .”
Stock is available now with products supplied in plastic free packs of 100 plugs only , or 100 plugs with boots , and tools are available to purchase separately .
The FAST range will replace the current ‘ standard ’ unscreened RJ45 plugs offered by Excel . A short video and data sheets have been produced to demonstrate the speed and ease of use .
McLetchie continues : “ The fast and easy elements of the design are due to the pass through plug , which allows prepared cores to be pushed through the face of the plug before being crimped and trimmed , compared to the conventional design where core lengths have to be cut to length before entering the plug body .
“ It ’ s great to see this new product being included in our plastic free packaging series from the start , and I am sure it will become a de facto tool bag and van stock item for anyone terminating cable on site for use in IoT and device connection .” •
