  • Product typeRJ45 Connectors
  • Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance
  • Transparent housing lets indicator lights remain visible through the connector
  • Supports 24 to 26 AWG solid or stranded wire for versatile terminations
  • 100-piece pack lowers cost per custom patch cable
  • Mating clip withstands frequent unplugging without latch fatigue

Micro Connectors Cat5E RJ45 100-Pack

This pack contains one hundred transparent RJ45 modular connectors designed for terminating 24 to 26 AWG solid or stranded wire. Gold-plated contacts support reliable performance on Gigabit Ethernet rated networks. Each connector provides eight contacts for standard eight-wire configurations. The bulk quantity suits installers building custom patch cables in volume.

Suited for custom cable builds.

Technicians creating their own patch cords from bulk cable will appreciate the mating clip designed for frequent unplugging and the transparent housing that allows indicator light penetration. The connectors are RoHS compliant and compatible with both solid and stranded conductors. Installers requiring shielded plugs, Category 6 rated geometry, or connectors for wire gauges outside the 24 to 26 AWG range should select a different product.

24 to 26 AWG termination range decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the supported wire gauge of 24 to 26 AWG for solid or stranded conductors. If your cable falls within this range, the connectors will terminate it correctly for Gigabit Ethernet use. If the cable uses a thicker or thinner gauge, these plugs will not seat the conductors properly and a different connector must be chosen.

Questions about this item

Do the gold-plated contacts on these RJ45 connectors wear out and need replacement after repeated mating cycles?

The gold-plated contacts are designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance and the mating clip supports frequent unplugging, so the connectors themselves do not require scheduled replacement.

What is the maximum wire gauge these connectors accept before termination becomes unreliable?

They are specified for 24 to 26 AWG solid or stranded wire; using cable outside that range can cause poor contact or crimp failure.

Do the transparent housings trap heat when cables run at full Gigabit throughput all day?

The connectors are passive components with no active circuitry, so they generate no measurable heat during continuous data transmission.
