Wire connector IDC Goobay 79577

This Goobay 79577 wire connector uses IDC (insulation displacement) technology to join eight conductors for Cat 6 and Cat 6A data/LAN cables without the need for bulky junction boxes. The compact connector is intended for connection, extension, repair or rerouting of network cables and features a fully shielded die-cast zinc housing with strain relief on both sides. Its small footprint allows easy installation in cable ducts; housing dimensions (W × H × L) are approximately 18 × 26 × 39 mm.

Advantages

The toolless IDC design enables quick assembly without special tools and provides a reliable eight-wire contact for Cat 6/6A cables. The fully shielded zinc die-cast housing improves electromagnetic compatibility and mechanical robustness while integrated strain relief protects cable terminations. Its compact size saves space in cable ducts and simplifies rerouting or repairs compared with traditional connection boxes.

Suitable for

• Joining or extending Cat 6 and Cat 6A Ethernet/LAN cables
• Repairing damaged network cable runs
• Rerouting cables inside cable ducts or confined spaces
• Compact installations where a junction box is impractical

How to use

Prepare the cable ends by stripping the outer sheath to expose the eight insulated conductors according to standard practices for Cat 6/6A. Insert the conductors into the corresponding IDC slots of the connector and press them in until the insulation displacement contacts bite through the insulation to make electrical contact. Ensure the cable is seated and aligned, then secure the housing so that the integrated strain relief holds the cable. No specialized tools are required for assembly; use a compatible pressing tool only if recommended by applicable installation procedures.

Usage recommendations

Use this connector only with Cat 6 or Cat 6A stranded or solid conductors as specified; verify pinout alignment before finalizing the connection and keep connections inside appropriate cable ducts or enclosures to maintain shielding effectiveness and mechanical protection.
