Key Technical Specifications

Gold-Plated Contacts for Reliable Connectivity

Gold plating on the connector contacts helps prevent oxidation and ensures a stable electrical connection over time. This is critical for maintaining signal quality in Gigabit Ethernet networks. Because the plating is specified, you can trust consistent performance for data transmission. However, always verify that your crimping tool is compatible with RJ45 plugs to avoid damage.

Translucent Housing for Wire Verification

The translucent plastic body allows you to visually confirm that all eight wires are seated correctly before crimping. This reduces the risk of miswiring, which can cause network failures or reduced speeds. In practice, this feature saves time during bulk installations. Also, the material is lightweight yet durable for repeated use.

Cat5e Performance for Gigabit Networks

These plugs are engineered for Cat5e cable standards, supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbps at 100 MHz bandwidth. They are suitable for home offices, small businesses, and commercial setups requiring reliable LAN connectivity. So, if you are building patch leads, this pack offers a standardised solution. Note that actual performance depends on cable quality and installation technique.

Compact Packaging for Efficient Storage

The package measures 90 mm in width and 120 mm in height, with a total weight of 2.5 g. This compact design makes it easy to store and transport on-site. For example, the 50-piece quantity fits well in tool bags without bulk. However, the country of origin is China, and compliance certificates include RoHS and REACH.
