Wire connector RJ-45 VALUE 21.99.3060

The VALUE 21.99.3060 RJ-45 wire connector is designed for Cat5e cables and supplied in a pack of ten. Its transparent housing allows visual inspection of conductor alignment and proper insertion depth. The connector provides a standard eight-position eight-contact interface compatible with typical Ethernet terminations for 100BASE-TX and other Cat5e applications, supporting reliable wired network links in home and office installations.

Advantages

Transparent construction enables quick verification of cable preparation and conductor order before crimping. The connector is sized for Cat5e conductors and fits standard modular crimp tools, simplifying termination tasks. A consistent contact arrangement and gold-plated contact surfaces ensure stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance, supporting long-term performance in structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat5e patch cables and patch cords
• Small office and home network wiring
• Replacing damaged RJ-45 plugs on existing cables
• Assembly of custom-length Ethernet cables for switches, routers, and patch panels

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45, 8P8C modular plug
• Cable compatibility: Cat5e solid and stranded conductors
• Housing color: transparent
• Contact plating: gold-plated contact surfaces for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Pack quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Suitable for use with standard crimping tools for RJ-45 modular plugs

How to use

Prepare the Cat5e cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the twisted pairs and untwist the pairs to the appropriate length. Arrange conductors according to the desired wiring standard (T568A or T568B), straighten the wires, and cut them to an even length. Insert the conductors fully into the RJ-45 connector so each wire reaches its contact pin and the jacket seats against the connector strain relief. Use a compatible crimping tool to crimp the connector until the contacts pierce the insulation and the plug body is secured. Test the terminated cable with a cable tester or by connecting devices to verify continuity and correct pairing.

Usage recommendations

Use proper cable preparation tools and a quality RJ-45 crimping tool to ensure reliable terminations. Avoid overstripping the jacket and maintain pair twist as close as possible to the termination point to preserve signal integrity. Verify wiring order before crimping and test each cable after assembly to confirm correct operation.
