Cat5e Unshielded RJ45 Connector
Cat5e Unshielded RJ45 Connector is a transparent two-piece modular plug with double-row staggered wire positioning. It is designed for reliable Cat5e Ethernet cable termination and stable gigabit network connections. The unshielded structure makes it an economical choice for ordinary indoor network environments, while the double-row design improves wire alignment efficiency and crimp consistency. It is widely used in patch cord production, field cable termination, office structured cabling and home network wiring.
2-Piece Double Row Staggered Layout
The Cat5e Unshielded RJ45 Connector adopts a two-piece structure with main plug body and independent load bar. Its double-row staggered wire slots separate eight cable cores into upper and lower rows, leaving more space for straightening and arranging wires. Compared with single-row plugs, this design reduces overcrowding, lowers near-end crosstalk caused by crossed wires, and improves the first-time pass rate of cable testing. The transparent shell also allows visual inspection before crimping.
Unshielded Transparent PC Housing
This connector is fully non-shielded and does not have a metal shielding shell. The housing is made of high-toughness transparent PC plastic, which provides good mechanical strength and cracking resistance during crimping. As an unshielded solution, it is suitable for general office networks, home networks, retail networks and surveillance camera wiring without strong electromagnetic interference.
Gold-Plated Contacts for Stable Signal
The contact pins of the Cat5e Unshielded RJ45 Connector are gold-plated to reduce contact resistance and resist oxidation. This helps maintain stable signal transmission and long-term reliability after repeated plugging and unplugging. It also supports stable power delivery for PoE devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points.
Compatible with Solid and Stranded Cat5e Cables
This connector works with both solid core Cat5e bulk cable and stranded Cat5e patch cord wire. It is suitable for cable manufacturers making pre-assembled patch cords, as well as installers performing on-site termination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the double-row two-piece design?
The double-row staggered layout separates eight cores into two rows, making wire arrangement easier and more orderly. This helps reduce crosstalk, improve test performance and increase crimp efficiency.
Is this connector suitable for shielded FTP cable?
No. This is an unshielded RJ45 connector. Shielded FTP cables require shielded RJ45 plugs to form a complete shielding loop.
Can it be used for Cat6 cable?
It may physically fit some Cat6 cables, but this connector is designed and tested for Cat5e performance only. Cat6 bandwidth and performance cannot be guaranteed.
