Wire Connector RJ-45 ShiverPeaks BS75011-8

The ShiverPeaks BS75011-8 Wire Connector RJ-45 is a straight male RJ-45 connector supplied in a pack of eight. Designed for terminating Ethernet cables, this connector supports standard eight-position modular plugs and is suitable for common networking and telecommunications wiring tasks. The connector’s straight form factor and compact dimensions make it compatible with typical patch cables and custom cable assemblies.

Advantages

These RJ-45 connectors offer straightforward installation and consistent contact alignment for reliable data transmission. Supplied in a multi-pack of eight, they allow quick replacement or batch termination without frequent reordering. The male straight design provides compatibility with standard RJ-45 jacks and network devices, while the connector housing ensures stable mechanical retention and predictable electrical contact for Ethernet signalling.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet cables for patching and cabling projects
• Repairing or replacing damaged RJ-45 plugs on patch cords
• Creating custom-length network cables for home and office networks
• Use in telecommunications closets, network installation kits, and field work

Key specifications

• Connector type: Straight male RJ-45 modular plug
• Pack quantity: 8 pieces per pack
• Contact positions: 8P8C standard modular contacts
• Form factor: Standard compact housing suitable for typical Ethernet cables
• Intended cable categories: Suitable for common twisted-pair Ethernet cable categories (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6) when used with compatible cable preparation

How to use

Prepare the Ethernet cable by stripping the outer jacket and arranging the individual conductors according to the required wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Trim the conductors to the appropriate length and insert them fully into the RJ-45 connector so each wire reaches its respective contact position. Use a compatible crimping tool to compress the connector onto the cable, ensuring the contacts pierce the insulation and make solid electrical contact. Verify the termination with a cable tester before deploying the cable in a network.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, match the connector to the cable category and use proper cable preparation and a compatible crimping tool. Avoid excessive bending or strain on the terminated plug and verify continuity and pair integrity with a tester after crimping. Store unused connectors in a dry environment to prevent contamination of contact surfaces.
