RJ-45 male wire connector Hirose H7642.7-100, blue, pack of 100

Hirose H7642.7-100 is a blue RJ-45 male wire connector supplied in a pack of 100. Designed for use with standard Ethernet cabling, this 8P8C connector enables reliable copper terminations for patch cables, custom leads and in-field network repairs. The compact modular plug accommodates solid and stranded conductors and fits common RJ-45 jacks and couplers, providing a straightforward solution for terminating Cat5e and compatible cable types.

Advantages

The connector offers a consistent mechanical fit and electrical contact that supports standard Ethernet signals. Supplied in a pack of 100, it reduces handling time for bulk installations and spare-part management. The blue housing provides visual identification for colour-coded cabling schemes. The design facilitates quick insertion and secure retention of conductors, helping to reduce rework and improve installation speed while maintaining contact reliability.

Suitable for

• Terminating Ethernet patch cables and custom leads
• On-site network repairs and cable replacements
• Small-scale and bulk wiring tasks in offices and data closets
• Colour-coded cabling systems and visual cable organisation

Key specifications

• Housing colour: blue
• Compatibility: standard Ethernet cables including Cat5e and similar
• Conductor types supported: solid and stranded conductors
• Pack quantity: 100 pieces
• Retention mechanism: standard modular plug latch

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors and arrange them in the required wiring sequence. Insert the conductors fully into the RJ-45 plug until the cable jacket reaches the plug body, ensuring each wire aligns with its corresponding contact. Use an appropriate crimping or termination tool compatible with modular RJ-45 plugs to secure the contacts and housing. After termination, verify continuity and wiring order with a cable tester before deploying the cable in the network.

Recommendations

For reliable terminations, use a quality crimp tool matched to modular RJ-45 plugs and verify terminations with a cable tester. Maintain appropriate cable bend radius and avoid excessive pulling force on the terminated connector. Store unused connectors in their original packaging to prevent dust contamination and mechanical damage.
