bjenko3312 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 On a recent project we have had a few unique issues and they all circled back to the common factor of being POE devices in the system. POE Access points, POE Door station, POE T3 Inwalls. After weeks of scratching heads and empty solutions, I am being told be C4 that the source of the problem is the EZ connectors we recently switched to for our Cat6 terminations. C4 advises that the POE could cause a frequency in the connector housing and that some instances show that the EZ connector can fry an item such as their most recent incident, a new Matrix Balun. C4 has advised me that they no longer warranty devices connected to EZ connectors as well and I sure wish they would send this out as an important news feed if that be the case, how many of you are using the Leviton EZ connector? Has anybody else had issues like this or problems with the EZ connectors, POE devices, interference in the intercom stream? ideas are welcomed.

dwestcoat Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 we used EZ ends for every install. For anything with HDMI baluns, we use shielded butt up ends. No consistent issues seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 They told us not to use it during their leaf training last year in Melbourne for this very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 EZ connections just add another failure point and should be avoided. MANY manufacturers recommend against it - most of those will state that it voids warranty. A bit of practice with 'normal' connectors and they are no less 'easy' than EZ.
