100-Pack CAT5e RJ-45 UTP Connectors

These 10Gtek CAT5e 8P8C modular plugs terminate solid or stranded copper Ethernet cable for 1 Gbps links. The pack supplies 100 non pass-through connectors aimed at installers and network technicians building or repairing patch cords. Phosphor-bronze pins with 3 µin gold plating and a staggered eight-contact layout reduce crosstalk and meet TIA/EIA performance requirements.

Flexible latch and 750-cycle durability

A bendable latch survives repeated insertion and removal without snapping, supporting up to 750 mating cycles in normal use. The polycarbonate housing resists cracking during crimping and daily handling. No active components mean zero power draw and silent operation in patch panels, wall plates or direct equipment connections.

Crimp-tool compatible, non pass-through design

Standard RJ-45 crimp tools terminate these plugs; no pass-through feature means conductors are trimmed before insertion. Each connector measures 7.0104 cm x 7.1882 cm x 14.4018 cm and weighs 0.02 pounds. The 100-count pack frees installers from frequent re-ordering during large cabling projects.

Questions about this item

How do I crimp these non pass-through CAT5e connectors without damaging the staggered pins?

Strip the jacket, untwist pairs to the 1-row 8P8C layout, insert fully so conductors reach the end, then crimp once with a standard RJ-45 die; the 3 µin gold-plated phosphor-bronze pins are staggered to reduce crosstalk, so avoid re-crimping.

What wears out first on the 100-pack of 3 µin gold-plated plugs during repeated patching?

The flexible latch and 3 µin gold plating are rated for 750 mating cycles; after that the contact force drops and near-end crosstalk rises on the 100 MHz CAT5e link.

Which spec caps sustained throughput on a 100 MHz CAT5e channel built with these plugs?

The 100 MHz bandwidth ceiling limits the channel to 1 Gbps; alien crosstalk and insertion loss grow with bundle density, so that ceiling appears before the 750-cycle mechanical rating.
