RJ45 Plug: common questions
Solid or stranded RJ45 plugs: which do I need?
Match the plug to the cable. Solid-conductor plugs pierce between the strands of a solid conductor, stranded plugs straddle the bundle. Using the wrong type can give an intermittent link that fails later.
Which category plug should I use?
Use a plug rated for the cable category, Cat5e through Cat8, since higher categories use tighter conductor geometry and load bars to keep pairs twisted to the contacts.
Shielded RJ45 modular plugs for terminating Cat8 cable. Available in 20 and 50 packs, plus a tool-less version for field work without a crimper.
- Shielded body — Cat8 is always a shielded construction, so the plug must bond to the cable screen to preserve performance at 2000 MHz.
- Tool-less option — terminates by hand, useful for on-site repairs and for anyone without a Cat8-rated crimp die.
- 20 pack, 50 pack, or single tool-less unit
Cat8 runs 25 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet over a maximum 30 m channel, so these are data centre and top-of-rack parts. For pre-terminated cable, see Cat8 26 AWG and Cat8 30 AWG.
