ACT RJ45 (8P/8C) CAT6 easyconnect unshielded modulaire connector for round cable with solid or stranded conductors

The ACT RJ45 (8P/8C) CAT6 Easyconnect Unshielded connector is a modular network plug intended for use with round cables that have either solid or stranded conductors. Manufactured from durable polycarbonate with a transparent finish, the connector provides visual confirmation of conductor placement and contact. Packaged in quantities of 25, these unshielded CAT6 RJ45 connectors are suitable for standard Ethernet terminations where shielded cabling is not required.

Advantages

The transparent polycarbonate housing allows clear inspection of wire alignment and termination quality before inserting into a jack or patch panel. Compatibility with both solid and stranded round conductors simplifies inventory and supports mixed-cable installations. The CAT6-rated design supports higher-frequency Ethernet networks while the Easyconnect form factor is intended to speed up manual terminations and reduce rework.

Suitable for

• Terminating CAT6 Ethernet cables in home and office networks
• Patch panel and wall outlet connections where unshielded cabling is used
• Small-scale installations and DIY networking projects

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 (8P/8C)
• Category rating: CAT6 (unshielded)
• Housing material: polycarbonate (transparent)
• Cable compatibility: round cables with solid or stranded conductors
• Pack quantity: 25 pieces

How to use

Prepare the round cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors, then arrange the conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Insert the conductors fully into the connector so each wire reaches its contact point; the transparent housing allows visual verification of proper seating. Use a compatible crimping tool or termination method designed for Easyconnect RJ45 plugs to secure the conductors and create reliable contacts. After termination, test the connection with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and pairing.

Recommendations

Use these unshielded CAT6 connectors with appropriately rated UTP round cables and follow industry wiring standards for consistent performance. Avoid using them on shielded cables or in environments with high electromagnetic interference unless additional protection is provided. Verify conductor type (solid vs stranded) and select a compatible crimping tool for best results.
