ACT RJ45 (8P/8C) CAT6 Modulaire Connector for Round Cable

The ACT RJ45 (8P/8C) CAT6 Modulaire Connector for Round Cable is a transparent RJ-45 plug engineered for use with CAT6 round network cables, compatible with solid and stranded conductors. With compact dimensions of 11.7 mm width, 21.5 mm depth and 7.92 mm height, this connector provides a standard 8P/8C interface for terminating Ethernet cables and establishing reliable network links. Supplied in packs of 25 pieces, it is intended for installers, technicians and small-scale cabling projects where consistent electrical contact and mechanical fit are required.

Advantages

The transparent body allows visual inspection of conductor alignment and correct insertion depth. Designed for CAT6 performance, the connector supports the eight-conductor wiring required for Gigabit Ethernet and other standard network protocols. Its compatibility with both solid and stranded conductors simplifies inventory management and installation planning. The compact dimensions make it suitable for space-limited terminations and standard RJ-45 patching needs.

Suitable for

• Termination of CAT6 round cables in patch leads and custom-length network cables
• On-site installations by network technicians and electricians
• Small office and home office (SOHO) cabling projects
• Repair or replacement of damaged RJ45 plug terminations

How to use

Strip the outer jacket of the CAT6 round cable to expose the eight conductors, untwist and align them according to the chosen wiring scheme (T568A or T568B). Trim the conductors to the correct length, insert them fully into the ACT RJ45 connector so that each conductor reaches its contact point and the cable jacket seats against the connector’s strain relief. Use a compatible crimping tool to secure the contacts and complete the termination. After crimping, verify continuity and correct wiring with a cable tester before placing the cable into service.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, use a quality crimping tool matched to modular RJ45 plugs and follow the selected wiring standard. Ensure conductors are straight and fully inserted before crimping; inspect through the transparent housing to confirm correct alignment. Avoid excessive stripping of the cable jacket to maintain strain relief. Test each cable after termination to confirm performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications.
