Cat5e RJ45 plugs are modular connectors crimped onto the end of category 5e cable to create a patch lead terminated with an 8 way 8 position plug. Installers use them to make up leads on site rather than buying pre-made patch cables.
Choosing a Cat5e RJ45 plug
- Standard crimp plugs for solid or stranded 4 pair Cat5e cable, or pass through connectors that make crimping easier to check.
- Shielded 8P8C plugs where the installation needs a shielded system rather than unshielded.
- Sold in bags or packs of 100 for volume installation work.

Cat5e RJ45 Plugs FAQs
What is a pass through RJ45 plug?
A pass through plug has conductor channels that run the full length of the plug, so the wires can be seen and trimmed flush after crimping, making it easier to check the pairs are correctly ordered before use.
Do I need a shielded or unshielded plug for Cat5e?
Use a shielded plug on a shielded Cat5e cable run to maintain screening continuity through the connector, and an unshielded plug on unshielded cable. This range includes both shielded 8P8C and standard clear plugs.
What pack sizes are available for Cat5e RJ45 plugs?
Cat5e RJ45 plugs in this range are sold in bags or packs of 100, suited to installers terminating multiple patch leads on site rather than buying single connectors.
