Wire connector RJ-45 ShiverPeaks BS72051-10 White

The ShiverPeaks BS72051-10 RJ-45 wire connector in white is a male RJ-45 plug designed for creating or repairing Ethernet cables. Supplied in a pack of 10, each connector provides a straightforward solution for terminating CAT5e/CAT6 style twisted-pair cables where a reliable plug connection is required. The compact white housing and standard 8P8C contact layout make these connectors suitable for typical home and office networking tasks and for small installation jobs that need multiple terminations.

Advantages

These RJ-45 male connectors offer consistent contact alignment and a secure mating interface when crimped correctly, reducing intermittent connection issues. The white plastic housing is durable and resists common wear from repeated insertions. Sold in a 10-piece pack, they support efficient bulk work and reduce the need for frequent reordering during installations. The design is compatible with standard crimping tools and typical unshielded twisted-pair cabling.

Suitable for

• Terminating Ethernet patch cables (CAT5e/CAT6) for home and small office networks
• Replacing damaged RJ-45 plugs on existing cables
• Small-scale network installations and lab prototyping
• Bulk cabling tasks where several connectors are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: male RJ-45 (8P8C) plug
• Color: white housing
• Pack quantity: 10 connectors
• Cable compatibility: unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables such as CAT5e and CAT6
• Crimp attachment method: requires standard RJ-45 crimping tool for termination
• Contact material: plated contacts for reliable electrical connection

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to the recommended length and arranging conductors in the required wiring sequence (T568A or T568B). Insert the twisted pairs into the connector until the wires reach the end of the contacts, then use a suitable crimping tool to secure the connector onto the cable. Verify that the housing is seated properly and test the terminated cable with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and correct pair wiring.

Recommendations

Use a quality RJ-45 crimping tool sized for 8P8C plugs and avoid excessive jacket stripping to maintain cable twist near the termination. For reliable network performance, test each finished cable with a cable tester and consider using connectors rated for the cable category (CAT5e/CAT6) to match throughput requirements.
