RJ45 connector NORDMARK RJ45-Easy-5 pass-through Cat5, 8P8C, for solid/stranded cables

NORDMARK RJ45-Easy-5 is a pass-through RJ45 connector designed for Cat5 networks with an 8P8C configuration. The connector accepts both solid and stranded copper conductors and provides a see-through termination method that makes conductor alignment visible during assembly. It is intended for straightforward field and workshop termination of patch cords and permanent links in small office, home, and commercial network installations.

Advantages

The pass-through design allows conductors to extend through the connector, speeding up trimming and positioning and reducing assembly errors. Transparent housing gives visual confirmation of conductor order and seating before crimping, improving termination reliability. The connector is compatible with standard insulation diameters for Cat5 cables and provides eight gold-plated contact positions for stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance during typical network use.

Suitable for

• Termination of Cat5 patch cords and horizontal cabling
• Field or workshop crimping of solid and stranded copper cables
• Small office and home Ethernet installations
• Network repair and prototyping where quick verification of conductor order is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: pass-through RJ45, 8P8C
• Cable compatibility: solid and stranded copper conductors for Cat5
• Housing: transparent body for conductor visibility
• Contacts: eight contact positions with gold-plated mating surface
• Application: Ethernet data transmission for Cat5-class links
• Termination method: crimp-style for compatible RJ45 crimping tools

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the eight insulated conductors and straighten them according to the chosen wiring scheme. Arrange the conductors in the correct order and insert them fully through the connector until the jacket reaches the connector stop; the transparent housing allows verification of conductor positions. Use an appropriate RJ45 crimping tool to crimp the connector, ensuring the contacts pierce the insulation and the strain relief secures the jacket. After crimping, visually inspect the termination and optionally test connectivity with a cable tester.

Usage recommendations

Use a compatible crimping tool rated for pass-through RJ45 plugs and avoid excessive force during crimping to prevent deformation. Verify the conductor sequence before crimping and use cable testers to confirm continuity and pair integrity after termination. Store connectors in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination of contact surfaces.
