Wire Connector RJ-45 Black Silver S/CONN 08-02050 Male

The ShiverPeaks Wire Connector RJ-45 Black Silver S/CONN 08-02050 Male is an RJ-45 male network connector finished in black and silver. Designed for creating or repairing Ethernet cables, this connector provides a standard eight-pin interface compatible with twisted-pair network cabling. Its metal contacts and housing design are intended to deliver a stable electrical connection and mechanical durability for typical networking environments.

Advantages

This RJ-45 male connector offers a compact form factor and a robust contact interface to support reliable signal transmission for Ethernet networks. The black and silver finish provides visual contrast that can aid cable identification while maintaining a professional appearance. The connector is designed for straightforward cable termination and repeated insertion cycles, promoting consistent connectivity in patch panels, wall outlets, and modular plugs.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat5e and Cat6 twisted-pair Ethernet cables
• Repairing damaged RJ-45 plugs on network cables
• Custom cable assemblies for home or office networks
• Connecting to routers, switches, patch panels, and network devices

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 male, 8P8C configuration
• Finish: black and silver housing/contacts
• Contact material: metal contacts for low-resistance connections
• Compatibility: standard twisted-pair Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6)
• Use environment: indoor networking and cable assemblies

How to use

Strip the outer jacket of the Ethernet cable to expose the twisted pairs, untwist and align the wires into the correct color sequence, then insert the wires fully into the RJ-45 male connector so each conductor seats under its contact. Use a compatible crimping tool to compress the connector onto the cable, ensuring secure contact between conductors and pins. After crimping, inspect the termination for proper wire order and mechanical retention before connecting to network equipment.

Recommendations

For consistent network performance, use this RJ-45 male connector with appropriately rated cable (Cat5e or Cat6) and a quality crimping tool. Avoid excessive bending near the termination point and verify wiring with a cable tester after assembly to confirm continuity and correct pairing.
