Wire Connector RJ-45 Gembird LC-8P8C-002/100

The Gembird LC-8P8C-002/100 is a pack of 100 transparent RJ-45 wire connectors designed for use with Cat6 network cables. Each connector provides a standard 8P8C interface that ensures a consistent physical connection for twisted-pair copper wiring. The transparent housing allows visual inspection of conductor alignment and contact engagement during assembly and testing.

Advantages

These RJ-45 connectors are manufactured to provide reliable contact with Cat6 conductors while allowing easy insertion and crimping. The transparent design helps verify correct wire order before crimping and supports visual checks after termination. Supplied in a bulk pack of 100, the connectors reduce the need for frequent restocking and are suitable for both one-off repairs and larger installation jobs.

Suitable for

• Termination of Cat6 twisted-pair network cables
• Patch panel and wall outlet terminations in local networks
• On-site repairs and custom-length Ethernet cable assemblies
• Small to medium installation projects and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 (8P8C)
• Compatible cable category: Cat6
• Material: transparent plastic housing with metal contacts
• Contact positions: 8 conductors
• Pack quantity: 100 connectors

How to use

Strip the outer jacket of the Cat6 cable to expose the twisted pairs, untwist and align conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Carefully insert the wires fully into the connector so each conductor reaches its respective contact and the cable jacket seats under the connector strain relief. Use an appropriate RJ-45 crimping tool to crimp the connector and secure contacts. After crimping, visually inspect the transparent housing to confirm correct conductor order and that contacts have pierced insulation for a proper electrical connection.

Usage recommendations

Use a quality crimping tool designed for Cat6 RJ-45 connectors to ensure proper contact compression and to avoid damage to the housing. For runs requiring higher performance or shielded cables, verify connector compatibility with specific cable constructions. Store connectors in a dry environment and handle them gently to prevent bending or contamination of metal contacts.
