UTP RJ45 CAT5e Pass-Through Network Connectors 10 pcs, DS-IT DC-RJ45-UTP5-PT (for solid and stranded cable)

DS-IT UTP RJ45 CAT5e pass-through network connectors, pack of 10, are designed to terminate CAT5e UTP cables quickly and reliably. These pass-through plugs accept both solid (single-core) and stranded conductors and allow each conductor to extend through the connector for simple alignment and testing prior to crimping. The connectors are intended for building Ethernet patch leads and on-site terminations in LAN installations where consistent contact and straightforward assembly are required.

Advantages

The pass-through design provides clear wire visibility and easier alignment, reducing wiring errors and rework. Compatibility with both solid and stranded cable types makes the connectors versatile for workshop and field use. A standard RJ45 form factor ensures compatibility with common crimp tools and network hardware. Supplied as a 10-piece pack, the set supports multiple terminations without frequent reordering.

Suitable for

• Creating Ethernet patch cables for home and office networks
• Field terminations during LAN installation and maintenance
• Use with both solid (single‑core) and stranded CAT5e UTP cables
• Testing and verifying conductor order before crimping

When it may not be suitable

These connectors are designed for CAT5e UTP cabling and may not meet performance expectations for higher category cables such as CAT6 or CAT6a, which have tighter electrical and mechanical requirements. They are not intended for shielded cables (STP/FTP) or non-standard conductor sizes outside typical CAT5e specifications.

Key specifications

• Cable compatibility: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT5e
• Conductor types supported: solid (single‑core) and stranded
• Connector type: RJ45 pass-through plug, 8P8C
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Intended use: Ethernet patch leads and on-site terminations

How to use

Strip the outer sheath of the CAT5e cable to expose the four twisted pairs, untwist and align the conductors in the chosen wiring scheme (T568A or T568B). Insert the conductors straight through the pass-through RJ45 connector, ensuring each conductor fully reaches the front of the plug to verify correct order. Use an appropriate crimping tool designed for pass-through RJ45 plugs to crimp the connector securely, then trim any protruding conductor ends if necessary. After crimping, test the assembled cable with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and correct pairing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm you are using CAT5e UTP cable, not shielded or higher-category cable
• Ensure your crimping tool supports pass-through RJ45 connectors
• Decide on wiring standard (T568A or T568B) before assembly
• Purchase additional connectors if making many patch leads or replacements

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, maintain minimal untwist length of pairs, keep the conductor order straight, and use a quality pass-through crimp tool. Verify each cable with a tester after crimping to detect miswires or continuity issues before deploying in a network.
