Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋♂️
⚡ Is this the same as a telephone plug? No. This is an RJ45 plug, which is wider and has 8 contacts for data. Telephone plugs (RJ11/RJ12) are smaller and only have 2, 4, or 6 contacts.
🛡️ Do I need a special tool to install these? Yes. You will need a Modular RJ45 Crimping Tool to securely press the gold prongs into the wires and lock the plug onto the cable jacket.
🔌 Will these work with Cat6 cables? Yes. These standard 8P8C plugs are compatible with both Cat5e and Cat6 cables, provided the wire gauge is within the standard 24-26 AWG range.
