FAQs
What type of Ethernet cable do these RJ45 connectors work with?

These Astrotek RJ45 connectors are designed for solid conductor Cat5e cable. They are not suitable for stranded cable applications.

Do I need special equipment to install these connectors?

Yes, you'll need an RJ45 crimp tool to properly terminate the connector onto the cable. Improper installation may result in poor connections.

Can I use these connectors with Cat6 or Cat6A cable?

These connectors are specifically designed for Cat5e solid conductor cable. For Cat6 or Cat6A applications, you should use connectors rated for those cable types to ensure proper fit and performance.
