RJ-45 male wire connector Hirose H7540.8-50, green, for network cabling

Hirose H7540.8-50 is a compact green RJ-45 male wire connector designed for network cabling. It provides a standard eight-pin RJ-45 interface for terminating twisted-pair Ethernet cables and is intended for patch cords, in-field repairs and custom cable assemblies. The connector is engineered to offer reliable electrical contact and mechanical retention while maintaining a small footprint suitable for tight spaces.

Advantages

The connector delivers consistent contact alignment for stable data transmission and reduces assembly time with a straightforward termination process. Its durable housing supports repeated mating cycles and helps protect contacts from mechanical stress. The green color coding aids quick identification in multi-cable installations and helps organize cable runs during deployment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patch cords and short-link assemblies
• Field repairs and on-site cable termination
• Custom network cable assemblies for switches, routers and patch panels
• Environments where compact connector size and color coding are required

Key specifications

• Interface: 8-position RJ-45 male
• Contact arrangement: standard eight-pin Ethernet pattern
• Housing color: green for visual identification
• Suitable cable type: twisted-pair Ethernet cables (e.g., Cat5e/Cat6 where compatible)
• Typical use: patch cords, repairs, custom assemblies

How to use

Strip the cable jacket to expose individual pairs and prepare conductors according to the appropriate wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Insert conductors into the connector following the eight-pin arrangement and ensure each contact is fully seated. Use the recommended crimping or termination tool for this connector type to secure contacts and housing. After termination, verify continuity and signal integrity with a cable tester before placing the cable into service.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible crimp or termination tools and follow the chosen wiring standard to maintain signal performance. Avoid excessive cable twisting or bending near the termination point and test each terminated cable for continuity and proper pairing. Store connectors in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent contamination of contacts.
