Typical uses
These connectors are used to make or repair network patch leads, to fit new ends to installed cable runs and to connect computers, switches, routers and network sockets. They suit small office networks, home networks and general structured cabling work.
When working with RJ45 plugs, keep the conductors in the correct order for your wiring standard, trim the cable square, and push the plug fully onto the cable before crimping. A proper crimp gives a reliable connection and reduces the risk of intermittent faults.
Choosing the right connector
Check that the connector matches the cable category you are using. The product is listed for both CAT 5 and CAT 6, but the cable itself determines the performance of the link, so use good quality cable and terminate it carefully. Make sure you have a suitable crimping tool and, where needed, a cable tester to check the finished lead.
Who it is for
The product suits installers, IT staff and technically confident users who need to terminate networking cable. It is a simple component: for a complete network you will also need cable, sockets or patch panels and network equipment.
Handling and care
Store unused connectors in their packaging to keep the contacts clean and undamaged. Inspect the plug before fitting and do not reuse a connector that has been crushed or has bent contacts.
