Ortronics Clarity5E RJ-45 Connector

The Ortronics Clarity5E TJ5E00 is a network connector designed for terminating twisted-pair cabling in structured wiring systems. It provides a standard RJ-45 interface with gold-plated contacts to maintain signal integrity. The unit comes in a fog white finish suitable for standard faceplates and patch panels. Installers use it to create reliable copper network drops.

Suited for Cat5e patching.

This connector suits technicians building or repairing Cat5e copper links in offices, homes or data cabinets. It matches unshielded keystone openings and standard punch-down tools. Buyers needing fibre termination, shielded RJ-45 housings or tool-less keystone jacks should look at other product types. The single RJ-45 port supports one cable run only.

Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion

The defining specification is the gold plating on the contact pins, which reduces oxidation and preserves low contact resistance over repeated mating cycles. This directly affects long-term link reliability in humid or high-traffic environments. No other electrical or mechanical rating is published for this model. Verify pin-out compatibility with your wiring scheme before terminating.

Questions about this item

What size keystone opening does the RJ-45 connector fit?

The Clarity5E TJ5E00 snaps into a standard keystone cut-out used for wall plates and patch panels.

How do I terminate the cable and what step is often missed?

Use a punch-down tool to seat each wire in the IDC slots, then verify every conductor is fully latched before closing the housing.

When should I replace the connector?

Replace it if the gold-plated contacts show corrosion, the latch tab breaks, or signal tests report excessive return loss.
