Category 5e Unshielded (UTP) Standard RJ45 Modular Connectors (8P8C Closed-End Style, 50μ" Gold-Plated Contacts, 100-Pack Bag)

Product Overview

The CAT5ERJ45 (100-Pack) is a contractor-grade set of Category 5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) 8P8C modular plugs engineered for dependable, cost-effective field terminations in local area networks (LAN), voice distribution, analog HD CCTV over baluns, and IP surveillance installations. Designed with a traditional closed-end internal wire-stop chamber, each plug aligns 24 to 26 AWG solid or stranded twisted-pair conductors cleanly into dedicated guide tracks, ensuring proper spacing and seating to satisfy ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 5e performance standards up to 100 MHz.

Molded from high-grade, transparent flame-retardant polycarbonate (UL 94V-0), the CAT5ERJ45 incorporates a robust 3-prong contact blade arrangement treated with 50-microinch (50μ") pure gold plating over an electrolytic nickel sub-layer. This 3-prong configuration pierces both solid installation cores and flexible stranded patch cord leads, creating a low-resistance gas-tight connection that resists oxidation, atmospheric tarnishing, and signal degradation over extended operational lifespans. Compatible with all standard non-pass-through ratcheting RJ45 crimp tools, these modular plugs deliver secure physical latching and dependable performance for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), and Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at PoE) applications.

✅ Key Features

• Standard Closed-End Profile: Traditional 8P8C plug architecture with internal wire stops ensures consistent wire depth for technicians accustomed to standard measure-and-trim methods.

• 3-Prong Gold-Plated Contact Blades: High-strength phosphor bronze pins with 50 microinches (50μ") of gold plating provide superior conductivity, minimal insertion loss, and long-term corrosion immunity.

• Universal Solid & Stranded Conductor Fit: Precision-formed contact prongs securely bite into both solid network trunk wires and stranded patch leads (24–26 AWG).

• Category 5e 100 MHz Performance: Fully verified to meet and exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Cat5e specifications for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet and Gigabit data networks.

• Flame-Retardant Clear Polycarbonate Body: Rugged UL 94V-0 thermoplastic shell resists cracking under high-pressure crimp cycles and enables easy visual inspection of internal wire seating.

• Integrated Primary Strain Relief: Internal plastic wedge securely clamps down on the outer cable jacket during crimping to absorb pulling tension and prevent conductor pull-out.

• PoE / PoE+ Ready: Engineered to sustain continuous low-voltage current for IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at (30W) Power over Ethernet applications without pin carbonization.

• Contractor 100-Piece Value Pack: Shipped in a durable, resealable polybag designed for high-volume jobs, structured cabling pulls, and maintenance toolkits.
