Modulaire RJ45-stekker QOLTEC 54550 CAT5e UTP, 100-pack

Modular RJ45 connector QOLTEC 54550 CAT5e UTP, pack of 100 are modular network plugs designed for terminating unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables in Ethernet installations. Supplied in a pack of 100, these CAT5e-rated connectors support standard twisted-pair cabling used for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T networks where CAT5e specification is applied. The connectors are intended for creating patch cords, terminating wall outlet leads and finishing small LAN cabling runs.

Advantages

These connectors provide a compact and consistent termination solution for CAT5e UTP cables, enabling reliable contact with eight conductors and ensuring compatibility with common RJ45 jacks. The pack quantity of 100 reduces repeat ordering for small- to medium-scale installations and workshops. Designed for use with standard insulation diameters and conductor arrangements, the connectors facilitate predictable electrical characteristics and mechanical fit when properly installed.

Suitable for

• Terminating CAT5e UTP patch cables
• Making custom-length network leads for office or home networks
• Wiring wall sockets and patch panels in small LANs
• Use by network technicians and installers in repair or upgrade tasks

Key specifications

• Wiring standard: 8-position, 8-contact modular RJ45 (8P8C)
• Category rating: CAT5e (suitable for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T over appropriate link conditions)
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
• Contact material: gold-plated contact area for reliable conductivity (typical for RJ45 connectors)
• Pack quantity: 100 pieces
• Intended conductor arrangement: compatible with T568A and T568B wiring schemes

How to use

Prepare the UTP cable by stripping the outer sheath to expose the eight conductors, untwist pairs to the minimal length required, and align wires according to the chosen wiring scheme (T568A or T568B). Insert the conductors straight into the connector until the cable sheath reaches the connector body to ensure proper strain relief. Use a compatible crimp tool to press the connector's contacts into the conductors and secure the plug onto the cable. After crimping, verify continuity and correct pair wiring with a network cable tester before putting the cable into service.

Recommendations

For consistent results, use a quality crimping tool sized for modular RJ45 8P8C plugs and verify that the conductor insulation diameters fall within the connector's acceptable range. Avoid over-stripping or untwisting pairs more than necessary to preserve signal performance. Use these CAT5e connectors with appropriate cable lengths and installation practices to achieve expected network speeds.
