RJ-45 Plug ShiverPeaks BS75011-2

The ShiverPeaks BS75011-2 RJ-45 connector is a male, straight-form network plug supplied in a pack of two. Designed for common Ethernet cabling, this connector provides a compact interface for terminating twisted-pair cables and establishing physical network links. Its straight orientation suits inline terminations where the plug extends directly from the cable and into sockets or couplers.

Advantages

These RJ-45 connectors are built for reliable electrical contact and repeated insertions. The male straight design keeps the connector profile low and compatible with standard RJ-45 ports. Supplied in pairs, they are convenient for small installation tasks or for keeping a spare. Materials and construction prioritize stable signal transmission and mechanical durability under ordinary installation and operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat5e and Cat6 twisted-pair network cables (where compatible)
• Repairing or replacing damaged RJ-45 plugs on patch leads
• Small office or home network patching and extensions
• Connecting devices to wall sockets, switches, routers, and couplers

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ-45) male, straight
• Pack quantity: 2 connectors per pack
• Contact plating: designed for reliable electrical contact (metal contacts)
• Form factor: straight-profile plug suitable for standard Ethernet ports
• Compatibility: intended for use with common unshielded or shielded twisted-pair network cables depending on cable and connector variant

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the twisted pairs, untwist pairs as required and align conductors to the desired wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Insert the individual conductors fully into the connector so each wire reaches its contact slot, then secure the connector using an appropriate crimping tool following the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Inspect the terminated plug to ensure correct seating and that no conductor is shorted or protruding. Repeat for the second connector as needed.

Recommendations

Use a compatible RJ-45 crimping tool and verify wiring order with a cable tester after termination. Select the correct connector variant for shielded cable if using STP/FTP to maintain shielding continuity. Store unused connectors in a dry, dust-free environment to preserve contact quality.
