Wire connector RJ-45 ShiverPeaks 72067-R Red

The ShiverPeaks Wire connector RJ-45 72067-R in red is a single-piece male RJ-45 connector designed for creating or repairing Ethernet cables. This compact connector provides a standardized eight-pin interface for terminating Cat5e/Cat6 style twisted-pair cables and is supplied as one unit per pack. The red housing offers visual identification in patch panels and cable runs where color-coding helps with organization and troubleshooting.

Advantages

The connector delivers a reliable electrical and mechanical connection suitable for standard network installations. Its molded housing secures the cable and contacts, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. The red color supports color-coded cabling schemes and quick identification in racks or bundled runs. Designed for compatibility with common RJ-45 termination practices, the connector is appropriate for both field and workshop use.

Suitable for

• Terminating or repairing Ethernet patch cables (Cat5e/Cat6 compatible)
• Color-coded cable management in network racks and patch panels
• Small installations, home networks, and professional cabling repairs

Key specifications

• Connector type: male RJ-45 (8P8C) compatible
• Quantity: 1 piece per pack
• Housing color: red for visual identification
• Compatibility: standard twisted-pair Ethernet cables (suitable for Cat5e/Cat6 wiring)
• Mounting/termination: crimp-style termination compatible with standard RJ-45 crimp tools

How to use

Strip the cable jacket to expose the twisted pairs and arrange the conductors in the chosen wiring order (T568A or T568B). Insert the wires fully into the RJ-45 connector so each conductor seats under its corresponding contact. Use a suitable crimping tool to compress the connector's contacts onto the wires and secure the strain relief. Inspect the terminated cable for correct pinout and mechanical stability before connecting to network equipment.

Recommendations

Use a quality RJ-45 crimping tool sized for the connector and follow standard wiring schemes to ensure reliable Ethernet performance. For longer runs or high-speed installations, verify cable category and test the finished cable with a network tester to confirm continuity and pairing.
