Drôtová spojka Gembird LC-8P8C-001/100

The Gembird LC-8P8C-001/100 wire connectors are transparent 8P8C (RJ-45) plugs supplied in a pack of 100, designed for terminating Cat5 cables. These connectors allow you to create custom-length network cables by inserting stripped cable conductors into the plug and securing them with a compatible crimping tool. The transparent housing provides visual confirmation of correct conductor alignment and contact seating.

Advantages

Transparent construction enables easy inspection of wire order and contact engagement. The 8P8C (RJ-45) form factor is compatible with standard Cat5 cable pairs, providing reliable electrical contact when crimped correctly. Supplied as a bulk pack of 100, they are convenient for installers and small-scale production, reducing the need for frequent reordering. The connectors are suitable for both professional network installation and home cabling projects.

Suitable for

• Creating or repairing Cat5 Ethernet cables
• LAN setup and patch cable production
• Small network installation and maintenance tasks
• Educational and training environments for hands-on cabling practice

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ-45)
• Compatible cable category: Cat5
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack
• Housing material: transparent plastic
• Contact arrangement: 8 conductors, standard pinout alignment

How to use

Strip approximately 1–2 cm of the outer jacket from the Cat5 cable, untwist and align the individual conductors according to the desired wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Trim the wires evenly, insert them fully into the connector so each conductor reaches its contact slot, then use an appropriate RJ-45 crimping tool to press the contacts into the wires and secure the plug to the cable jacket. After crimping, verify continuity and correct pinout with a cable tester before deploying the cable.

Recommendations

For consistent results, use a quality RJ-45 crimping tool and a cable tester. Ensure conductors are fully inserted and aligned before crimping; inadequate insertion can cause intermittent connections. These connectors are intended for Cat5/UTP installations — for Cat5e or higher-performance requirements, verify compatibility with your cabling and testing standards.
