How to install Platinum Tools Xpress Jack w/Platinum Tools Die

• Prepare your workspace and verify wiring standards: Decide whether you’ll use T568A or T568B wiring schemes, and ensure your keystone jacks and patch panels are compatible with the Xpress Jack system.
• Prepare conductors: Strip the cable ends to the appropriate length and arrange the 8 conductors in the proper sequence according to your chosen wiring scheme. Ensure there are no frayed wires and that each conductor is cleanly prepared for termination.
• Align the keystone jack: Place the prepared keystone jack into the Xpress Jack’s die alignment groove. Make sure the jack sits firmly and is aligned with the die cavity to ensure an even, consistent cut and seat.
• Execute the one-stroke termination: Apply firm, even pressure to engage a single stroke that seats and trims all 8 conductors simultaneously. A clean, audible engagement typically indicates correct termination.
• Inspect and test: Visually inspect the termination for any stray strands or uneven cuts. Use a cable tester to verify continuity and proper pair alignment. If any issue is detected, re-terminate the affected jack with a fresh setup.
