RJ45 8P8C Crimp End Plug Connector for Ethernet Network, MACLEAN MCTV-662, pack of 100

MACLEAN MCTV-662 is a pack of 100 RJ45 8P8C crimp end plug connectors designed for terminating twisted-pair Ethernet cables. These modular plugs are compatible with standard 8P8C jacks and are suitable for creating custom patch cords, repairing damaged connectors, or finishing small network installations. The parts are intended for use with a compatible crimping tool and support typical Cat5e and Cat6 twisted-pair cable constructions when wire gauge and conductor geometry match the plug design.

Advantages

These RJ45 8P8C crimp end plugs provide a straightforward mechanical and electrical connection for copper twisted-pair cables. Supplied in a bulk pack of 100, they offer convenience and cost-efficiency for installers and technicians carrying out multiple terminations. The modular design allows for reliable contact with standard RJ45 jacks when properly crimped, and the clear insertion profile simplifies alignment during assembly.

Suitable for

• Creating custom Ethernet patch cables
• Field repairs of damaged RJ45 connectors
• Small office and home network installations
• Prototyping and lab cable assemblies

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 8P8C modular plug
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack
• Compatible cable categories: Cat5e and Cat6 (when conductor size and geometry match)
• Intended termination method: crimping with compatible crimp tool
• Contact arrangement: 8 positions, 8 contacts

How to use

Strip the cable jacket to expose the twisted pairs, untwist and arrange the conductors in the required wiring order (T568A or T568B), and trim to the correct length. Insert the aligned conductors fully into the plug so each wire reaches its contact slot, verify the jacket seats into the plug's strain-relief area, then crimp securely using a matching RJ45 crimping tool. After crimping, check continuity and pair-to-pin mapping with a network cable tester before putting the cable into service.

Usage recommendations

Use these plugs with solid or stranded cable only if the plug design supports the conductor type; verify compatibility with the cable gauge and insulation diameter. For best results, use a quality crimping tool and perform a continuity test on every terminated cable. Store the plugs in a dry environment to avoid contamination of contact surfaces prior to use.
