RJ45 Plug CAT6 (unshielded, pass-through)

PLUG-CAT6-U-PT

An RJ45 plug crimped onto the end of a network cable. The pass-through type lets the wires exit the front, so their order can be checked before crimping.

Type: Adapter
Connectors: RJ45

In-depth technical details

RJ45/Cat6/Cat7 runs use one of two equivalent Ethernet wiring standards, T568A or T568B -- both perform identically, as long as both ends of the same cable use the same standard. A real Cat5e/6/7 cable carries 4 twisted pairs: blue, orange, green, brown.

Connector anatomy

RJ45 (8P8C)

01 8 gold contacts The eight blades pierce the wire insulation to touch the copper directly — four pairs, two for transmit and two for receive.
02 Locking clip Snaps inside the socket so vibration cannot pull the plug out. A snapped clip is the number-one cause of intermittent network drops.
03 T568A vs T568B Two equivalent wiring standards: T568A puts the green pair on pins 1-2 and orange on 3-6; T568B swaps them. Performance is identical as long as both ends of the same cable use the same standard.
04 Strain-relief boot Stops the wires flexing where they leave the plug — the exact point most cables fail.
05 Outer jacket The outer sheath protecting the conductors inside from abrasion and moisture.

How it works

The plug is crimped onto the end of network cable with a dedicated crimping tool. Its eight blades pierce the wire insulation and touch the copper directly under pressure, and a shielded version adds a metal shell that connects to the cable's shield so interference protection continues right to the termination.

Termination: Crimped, insulation-displacement contacts
Shielded version: Metal shell continues the cable's shield to the termination
