Detailed information

IDEAL® standard CAT5e RJ45 connectors have a one-piece design to simplify cable assembly in data applications. Designed to work seamlessly with our FT-45® or Telemaster™ crimp tools, these connectors are designed and manufactured to support TIA/EIA 100Ω cable wiring standards for 100 MHz/1GB applications. 5.5mm Strain Relief Boots are compatible with all standard sized CAT5e RJ45 connectors and help to protect the modular plug body, especially the latch tab, from external handling damage. Made of flexible PVC, these boots help to maintain the cable bend radius and limits conductor movement inside of the connector that can lead to continuity failures over time.

  • RJ45 CAT5e connector, 8 position, 8 contact, for 100Ω balanced twisted pair 100 MHz cables
  • 50 micro-inch gold plating on contact mating area for long term reliability in connectivity, even after hundreds of mating cycles
  • For use with solid or stranded 23-24 AWG insulated copper conductors up to 0.041″ diameter.
  • Max cable jacket outer diameter of .270″ for plug, .220″ for boot
  • Great for making high-performing, professional looking custom length patch cables
  • Prevents broken connector tabs and snagging while extending connector life
  • Minimizes cable bends that can reduce data speed and result in data loss
  • Dampens cable movement and vibrations that can result in premature connector failure
  • PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ compatible. IEEE 802.3af/at/bt
  • Pack of 15 connectors and 15 boots

I would absolutely recommend these lever connectors and will surely be using them in the future! Those connectors were super easy to work with, didn’t seem flimsy like other brands, and were super easy to install as well as remove
