Product Description

D-Link Cat6 RJ45 Cable Connector (Pack of 100 Pieces, Silver) is a true Cat6 modular plug designed to full Cat6 specifications, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It's fully backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e cabling as well, so you can standardize on a single connector across mixed cable types on the same job.

Each connector terminates all 4 twisted pairs (24-26 AWG wires) and supports both solid and stranded conductor cables, with gold-plated contacts over nickel plating for strong conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance. The transparent, UL94V-2 rated polycarbonate housing lets you visually inspect wire alignment before crimping, helping reduce termination errors, and the bulk 100-piece pack makes it a cost-effective choice for installers and technicians handling ongoing cabling projects.

Technical Specifications

Recommendations & Use Cases

This connector pack is best suited for installers and DIY users who need to field-terminate Ethernet cables rather than relying on pre-made patch cables.

Points to Note Before Buying

• Non-Pass-Through Type: These are standard (non-pass-through) connectors based on available specifications — if you prefer easier crimping without needing to trim excess wire, check whether a pass-through variant is available, as that affects your crimping technique.
• Crimping Tool Not Included: A crimping tool is not included in this pack — factor that into your purchase if you don't already own one.
• Wire Type Check: Since these support both solid and stranded wire, double-check your specific cable type is compatible with your crimping tool's blade design for a secure connection.

FAQs

1) Can I use these connectors with Cat5e cable, or are they strictly for Cat6?

Yes, these connectors are backward compatible and work with both Cat5e and Cat6 UTP cables. This gives you flexibility to standardize on one connector type even if you're working with a mix of cable categories in your installation.

2) Do I need any special tool to attach these connectors to the cable?

Yes, you'll need an RJ45 crimping tool to properly attach and secure these connectors onto your cable. The crimping tool is not included in this pack and needs to be purchased separately if you don't already have one.

3) What's the difference between T568A and T568B wiring, and does it matter which one I use?

T568A and T568B are two wiring standards that define the order in which the 8 wires are arranged in the RJ45 connector. Functionally, either standard works fine for standard Ethernet connections, but you must be consistent — use the same standard on both ends of a cable run. Mixing standards on either end of the same cable can cause connection issues. Choose based on your organization's/region's standard practice (T568B is more common in the US/most commercial installations).

4) Are these connectors suitable for outdoor cable runs or CCTV camera installations?

These connectors themselves are suitable for terminating cables used in CCTV/IP camera installations (indoor NVR/switch-side connections). However, the connector's suitability for outdoor exposure depends more on the housing/boot protection you add and whether the cable itself is outdoor-rated — the bare RJ45 connector is best used in protected, indoor, or enclosed termination points (e.g., inside a junction box).

5) How many connectors will I need for a typical home or small office network setup?

Each network cable run needs 2 connectors — one at each end. So, for example, wiring 10 network points would need roughly 20 connectors (with a few extra recommended for crimping errors/practice). This 100-piece pack comfortably covers larger installations (40-45+ cable runs) or gives smaller installers backup stock for multiple future projects.
