RJ-45 wire connector Gembird LC-PTF-01/100, F/UTP, brown/silver/transparent, 10 pcs

Gembird LC-PTF-01/100 is a pack of 10 pass-through RJ-45 connectors designed for terminating F/UTP (FTP) shielded Ethernet cables. Each connector is finished in brown, silver and transparent materials and weighs 17 g. The pass-through 8P8C design lets conductors extend through the plug so wiring order can be verified before crimping, and the connector can be pulled tightly over the cable jacket for a secure rear seat and improved electrical performance.

Advantages

The pass-through construction simplifies twisted-pair terminations by allowing complete wire insertion and visual verification of the wiring sequence. Gold-plated two-fork internal contacts accommodate both solid and stranded conductors and provide reliable signal transfer. The design reduces the untwisted length between contacts and wire twists, improving overall transmission characteristics. These connectors are compatible with shielded F/UTP cables and support conductors up to 24 AWG, reducing wasted crimps and increasing termination reliability.

Suitable for

• Field cabling and on-site network installations
• Patch panels and switch port terminations
• Custom-length shielded Ethernet cable assemblies
• Repairs and upgrades of existing shielded LAN runs

• Pack quantity: 10 pieces
• Single connector weight: 17 g

How to use

Strip the cable jacket and untwist pairs to the minimum recommended length, then align wires according to the chosen wiring standard and pass them completely through the plug so the conductor ends are visible at the front. Pull the connector down firmly onto the cable jacket so the jacket seats into the rear of the plug, then crimp with a compatible RJ-45 crimp tool rated for pass-through connectors. After crimping, trim any protruding conductor ends flush with the plug front if necessary and verify continuity and shield connection with appropriate testing equipment.

Recommendations

Use a dedicated pass-through RJ-45 crimp tool to ensure correct contact engagement and to avoid damaging gold-plated contacts. When terminating shielded F/UTP cables, ensure the cable drain or shield is properly connected to the connector and to the connected equipment to preserve grounding and EMI protection.
