This cat6 connector features a loading guide to aid in proper pinout of the RJ45 connector. Feed each conductor through the guide and simply push the guide into the RJ45 connector and crimp. These connectors are useful for creating custom-length patch cables from bulk cable. The pinout for these connectors can be either TIA/EIA 568 or 568B
An RJ45 also named 8P8C connector is most commonly used in network and telecommunication applications. It can also be used for other data type communications such as serial.
What is the difference between a solid and stranded connector?
A solid RJ45 connector has 3 teeth that pinch the solid wire to ensure good contact. A stranded RJ45 connector contains 2 teeth that bite the strands to hold the wire in place. Stranded is typically used when you are making your own patch cables.
