Product Description
The 100pcs Shielded RJ45 Cat6 Pass Through Connector 8P8C Ethernet Plug is a pack of 100 plugs for terminating Cat6 network cable. It suits structured cabling, general Ethernet runs and CCTV IP systems.
What the specs mean on the job
- Pass-through design: the wires push all the way out of the front of the plug before crimping. You can check the colour order by eye before you commit.
- 8P8C: 8 position, 8 contact. This is the modular plug format used on Ethernet equipment.
- Shielded metal housing: gives improved protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference) and signal noise.
- Solid and stranded Cat6: both conductor types are supported, depending on the cable you are terminating.
- Pack of 100: enough plugs for a multi-point install without reordering mid-job.
What else you need
- Cat6 cable in solid or stranded form.
- A crimping tool. The plugs work with standard RJ45 crimpers. Pass-through connectors are typically fitted with a pass-through crimping tool, which trims the excess wire as it crimps.
- A cable tester is a sensible extra for checking each termination, though it is not part of this pack.
RJ45 is the common name for the 8-contact Ethernet plug. Using the same plug on both ends of a run keeps the wiring order easy to follow.
