RJ-45 draadverbinder ShiverPeaks BS72057-S-10

The ShiverPeaks BS72057-S-10 RJ-45 wire connectors are designed for terminating Cat5e and Cat6 cables in networking installations. Each pack includes ten connectors finished in black with metallic contacts, providing a compact solution for building or repairing Ethernet cables. These RJ-45 plug connectors support standard 8P8C terminations and are intended for use with stranded or solid conductor cables specified for Cat5e and Cat6 performance.

Advantages

These RJ-45 connectors offer consistent contact geometry and gold-plated contact surfaces that help maintain low contact resistance and reliable signal transfer. The combination of a durable housing and secure conductor retention simplifies the crimping process and reduces the risk of intermittent connections. Their form factor and finish are suitable for visible installations where a discreet appearance is preferred.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat5e and Cat6 patch cables
• Home and small office network repairs and builds
• Creating custom-length Ethernet cables for routers, switches, and patch panels
• Field installations where durable plug connectors are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 (8P8C) for Ethernet cabling
• Compatible cable categories: Cat5e, Cat6
• Pack quantity: 10 connectors
• Housing color and finish: black with metallic contacts
• Conductor compatibility: stranded and solid conductors per Cat5e/6 standards
• Contact plating: corrosion-resistant plating for improved conductivity

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors, maintaining the correct pair twist as much as possible. Arrange the wires in the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), trim the conductors to the appropriate length, and insert them fully into the RJ-45 connector so each conductor seats under its corresponding contact. Use a compatible crimping tool to crimp the connector to the cable, ensuring the strain relief engages the cable jacket. After crimping, inspect the termination visually and, if available, test the cable with a network cable tester to verify continuity and pair integrity.

Recommendations

For best results, use a quality crimping tool sized for RJ-45 connectors and test each completed cable with a cable tester. When terminating Cat6 cables, maintain pair twists as close as possible to the connector to preserve performance. Store unused connectors in a dry environment to prevent contamination of contact surfaces.
