Wire connector ACT WT003 — RJ45 aluminium housing, 2 g

ACT WT003 is a compact RJ45 wire connector in an aluminium-coloured housing designed to provide a physical connection for copper Ethernet cabling. Weighing approximately 2 g, the connector is suitable for situations that require a small, lightweight RJ45 termination compatible with standard network patch and patch-panel cables. The aluminium-style finish gives the connector a neutral appearance while maintaining the required mechanical contacts for reliable signal transmission over twisted-pair copper network cable.

Advantages

The connector combines a compact form factor with a durable aluminium-coloured housing that resists deformation and supports stable contact alignment. Its low weight makes it convenient for repair work and installations where space and weight are constrained. The design is compatible with standard RJ45 termination practices for copper Ethernet cables and aims to ensure consistent electrical contact and signal integrity when installed correctly.

Suitable for

• On-site network repairs and quick cable replacements
• Compact or space-constrained installations in patch panels or keystone modules
• Prototyping and testing of Ethernet links using copper twisted-pair cable
• Telecommunications and data equipment requiring an RJ45 interface

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 interface for 8P8C copper Ethernet cabling
• Housing appearance: aluminium-coloured finish
• Weight: approximately 2 g
• Compatibility: designed for standard copper twisted-pair network cables (Ethernet)
• Mechanical: compact, lightweight construction suitable for tight spaces

How to use

Strip the outer jacket of the Ethernet cable to expose the twisted pairs, untwist and arrange the conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Insert the prepared conductors fully into the RJ45 connector until each wire seats in its corresponding contact slot. Use an appropriate crimping or termination tool to secure the contacts and housing according to standard procedures. After termination, verify continuity and pair integrity with a cable tester before deploying the cable in live network equipment.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the connector with standard 22–26 AWG solid or stranded twisted-pair Ethernet cable and a compatible crimping tool. Verify the wiring order and test the finished cable for continuity and signal quality; avoid excessive cable jacket removal and protect the terminated connector from moisture and mechanical strain during installation.
