UGREEN 60558 Cat6 Unshielded RJ45 Modular Plugs, 100-Pack

Overview

The UGREEN 60558 is a pack of 100 clear unshielded Cat6 RJ45 plugs for making your own network cables to the exact length needed. Each 8P8C plug takes eight prepared conductors of 0.8 to 1.1 mm and is crimped to form a male cable end, for links up to 1000 Mbps on a compliant finished cable. It suits home, office and installer cabling with U/UTP cable.

Is it right for you?

• Suits unshielded Cat6 (U/UTP) cable with conductors of 0.8 to 1.1 mm.
• Not for shielded cable, and not automatically suitable for every Cat6 or Cat6A cable; check the fit first.
• If you want a pass-through plug or a female extender, this is not it.

Key features

• 100 clear unshielded 8P8C male modular plugs for Cat6 U/UTP.
• 3U gold-plated contacts.
• For conductors of 0.8 to 1.1 mm; UGREEN describes use with both single-strand and multi-strand conductor.
• Up to 1000 Mbps with a compliant finished link.
• Passive crimp part: no electronics or software.

What else you need

• A compatible crimping tool, Cat6 U/UTP cable and, for a tidy job, boots.
• A cable tester to check the conductor map and link before use.

Installation

Sample-fit and pull-test a termination before a bulk job. Keep fingers clear of blades and crimp dies and wear eye protection while cutting and crimping.

Before you buy

• The plug does not create network speed or correct a poor cable, and a Cat6 label does not upgrade lower-category cable or the rest of the link.
• Plugs are not reusable after crimping.
• Indoor use only: no outdoor rating is established. Keep the plugs dry, clean and away from corrosive environments or excessive heat.
• Test every lead before use; a visual check is not enough. Professional installations may require certification testing.
• Never work on live mains. Network wiring is low voltage, but wall boxes and racks can sit near hazardous circuits.
