Network Cable Extralink RJ45 Connector CAT5E FTP RJ45 8P8C Transparent

Extralink RJ45 Connector CAT5E FTP is a shielded RJ45 plug designed for terminating twisted-pair network cables. The connector is transparent and built to accommodate CAT5E FTP cables, providing a standard 8P8C interface with eight gold-plated contact pins for reliable electrical connection.

Advantages

The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference on FTP installations. Eight gold-plated pins ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance. The transparent housing allows visual verification of wire positioning during termination. The connector is compatible with standard CAT5E twisted-pair cables and fits common networking devices that accept 8P8C plugs.

Suitable for

• Terminating CAT5E FTP (shielded twisted-pair) network cables
• Home and small office Ethernet installations
• Repairing or replacing damaged RJ45 plugs
• Field or workshop cable assembly and patch cable production

How to use

Strip the cable sheath and untwist the pairs to the required length, then arrange the wires in the appropriate CAT5E pinout. Insert the wires fully into the connector so each conductor reaches its contact pin and the cable jacket is seated inside the connector. Crimp the plug with a compatible RJ45 crimping tool until contacts pierce the conductors and the strain relief secures the jacket. Verify continuity and correct pair mapping with a cable tester before deploying the cable.

Recommendations

For best results, use with CAT5E FTP cables and a quality crimping tool designed for shielded RJ45 plugs. Test terminated cables with a network cable tester to confirm wiring and signal integrity. Avoid excessive untwisting of pairs to maintain performance.
