Platinum Tools will showcase several new solutions during CEDIA Expo 2026, held in Denver from Sept. 2-4 at the Colorado Convention Center, booth #1123. The PT-OTDR-100 mini OTDR tester, HPH J-Hooks, ezEX-RJ45 termination systems, PoE Tester and PTS PRO Crimp Tool will be on-hand for attendees during the show.
The PT-OTDR-100
The PT-OTDR-100 mini OTDR tester provides a simple to set up and easy-to-use solution for OTDR testing. The PT-OTDR-100 includes a 5.5-inch OLED touch screen for easy viewing of cable tests and can save and export your OTDR tests.
Platinum Tools says this unit will perform OTDR tests, OPM, VFL and laser source functionality for fiber optic cable, and will also perform continuity testing and TDR for Category cable.
HPH J-Hooks
According to Platinum Tools, the HPH J-Hooks (available in white, red, blue, and black variations) have been designed to support today’s modern high-performance network cable installations, such as pro AV, data centers, commercial structures, manufacturing facilities, and residential applications.
HPH J-Hooks are built with steel J-Hooks over-molded with Plenum-rated polypropylene for an easy cable slide. The ‘Snap-Lock’ firmly secures cables to help eliminate the use of cable and velcro ties.
They feature a smooth, radiused 2-inch-wide base with no pressure points, and are UL listed, Plenum-rated, RoHS and TIA compliant.
ezEX-RJ45 Connectors
The ezEX-RJ45 connectors are designed for larger cables and conductors, featuring an integrated Hi-Lo stagger load bar while allowing ‘big’ conductors to pass through the front end of the connector, making it easy to verify the wiring sequence before terminating. These connectors are typically used with either CAT6 CAT6A and are terminated with EXO Crimp Frame and EXO-EX Die (100061C).
TPS200C PoE++ Tester
At just 2.5 inches square, the pocket-sized and easy-to-use TPS200C PoE++ tester has been designed for all varieties of PoE up to 56 volts and 280 watts of power. Powered by the PoE circuit, the TPS200C requires no batteries and can be used in line with an actual PoE device to measure current flow, or by itself in Powered Device (PD) Simulation mode to determine the maximum power available from the PoE power source.
PTS Pro Crimp Tool
The PTS (Pass Through Standard) Pro Crimp Tool takes years of Platinum Tools innovations and combines multiple tools into one sleek design a single tool for all Platinum Tools terminations. It allows for the termination of both ezEX-RJ45 connectors and the legacy EZ-RJ45 connectors in a single tool with no part changes and utilizes a sliding plate to change between the different types of connectors and a captive thumb screw to make swapping between connector styles seamless.
The tool features a connector locking mechanism, so connectors “click” into the tool for termination and also includes the cutting and stripping blades for Cat5e and 6 built directly into the handle.
