ACT conector modular RJ45 (8P/8C) para cable redondo con conductores flexibles

The ACT RJ45 modular connector TD108R is intended for use with round cables that have stranded conductors. Manufactured from durable Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) in a transparent finish, the connector provides visible contact alignment and straightforward inspection of wire placement. It supports standard 8P/8C RJ-45 terminations and is suitable for a range of networking cabling tasks where stranded round cable types are used.

Advantages

The transparent ABS housing gives clear visibility of conductor positions during termination and reduces errors when inserting wires. The component is designed for compatibility with standard 8-position, 8-contact RJ45 configurations and works with stranded conductor types, offering reliable contact retention and mechanical stability. Its robust plastic construction resists everyday handling and helps maintain consistent electrical contact over time.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patch cables assembled from round stranded cable
• Field terminations and small-scale LAN installations
• Repairing or replacing damaged RJ45 plugs on stranded cables
• Custom cable assemblies for office or home network setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8-position, 8-contact (RJ45)
• Compatible conductor type: stranded conductors
• Cable profile: round cable
• Housing material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• Colour: transparent

How to use

Strip the outer jacket of the round stranded cable to the recommended length, untwist and arrange the individual conductors according to the required wiring standard (for example T568A or T568B). Insert the conductors fully into the connector so each wire reaches its corresponding contact slot; the transparent housing allows visual verification of correct placement. Use a suitable crimping tool designed for RJ45 modular plugs to crimp the connector securely onto the cable, ensuring the strain relief engages the cable jacket. After crimping, visually inspect the termination and, where appropriate, test with a cable tester to confirm continuity and correct pinout.

Recommendations

For best results, use the connector with stranded round network cable of compatible diameter and follow industry-standard wiring schemes. Employ a matched RJ45 crimping tool to avoid incomplete crimps or damage to contacts. If installations are subject to frequent movement or strain, consider additional strain relief measures such as cable boots or proper cable routing to prolong connector life.
