Wire connector RJ-45 Gembird PLUG5SP/10

The Gembird PLUG5SP/10 is a transparent RJ-45 wire connector engineered for creating reliable Ethernet terminations. Designed to accept SF/UTP cable shielding, this connector helps maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference in network cabling. Each pack contains 10 connectors and the compact package dimensions (100 mm x 140 mm x 50 mm) support convenient storage and transport.

Advantages

The transparent housing allows visual inspection of conductor alignment and contact seating prior to crimping, improving installation accuracy. Compatibility with SF/UTP cable shielding provides an option to preserve the cable’s shield continuity where required. Supplied in a 10-piece pack, the connectors are suited for small to medium installation jobs and spare-parts inventory.

Suitable for

• Terminating SF/UTP Ethernet cables
• Small office or home network installations
• Field repairs and on-site cable patching
• Prototyping and lab testing of network cables

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45
• Cable compatibility: SF/UTP (shielded foiled/unshielded twisted pair)
• Housing colour: Transparent
• Packaging quantity: 10 connectors per pack
• Package dimensions: 100 mm x 140 mm x 50 mm

How to use

Prepare the SF/UTP cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the pairs and, when present, folding back the foil or drain wire to maintain shield continuity as required. Arrange the conductors according to the target wiring standard, insert them fully into the RJ-45 connector until each conductor reaches the end of its contact channel, and verify alignment through the transparent housing. Use an appropriate crimp tool to press the contacts and secure the connector to the cable. After crimping, check each contact visually and with a cable tester if available to confirm correct termination and signal continuity.

Usage recommendations

Use a compatible RJ-45 crimp tool designed for shielded connectors and follow the cable manufacturer’s instructions regarding shield grounding. Avoid excessive stripping of the outer jacket to preserve strain relief, and verify pair order before crimping to reduce rework.
