COVVY RJ45 Female To 8 Pin Screw Term Block Terminal Connector Cat7 Cat6 Cat5 Cat5e Ethernet Cable Extender Adapter CCTV Digital DVR Network Adapter In-Line Coupler(Female,1 PCS)

If you need an 8 core data cable quckly and already have cat5 cables with rj45's on them either already installed or loose this is a great solution. I manufactured analog hardwired volume controls to replace the digital units that failed and rather than try and solder solid core cat5e I used these and they work a treat! I was able to solder 'flex' alarm cable onto the volume pots into the phoenix style connector and then simply connect to the existing cat5e rj45 will be buying more of these

I realise that I tend to review items that have done a great job rather than everything that I purchase. Well, these are in that category. These units are well moulded with very solid-feeling well-formed plastic. The connectors for the wiring use high quality screws to terminate each conductor with a moulded Ethernet socket providing the other side of the connection. The green screw terminal blocks can be unplugged from the black Ethernet adapter part. In truth, the fact that the screw terminal pieces are detachable is probably unnecessary (after all you can unplug the Ethernet cable anyway). I suspect that it is simply the best way for the makers to source quality screw clamp connections. You have to work out which side of the screw block is pin 1 of the cable and to maintain balanced pairs you have to follow Ethernet's rather crazy cable order.I needed to put some balanced cabling between the house and the garage - for current-sensing transformers with a Zappi car charger. This required three end-to-end runs of cable with two joins. I terminated the cables at the joins with Ethernet connectors and then used these Block Terminal Connectors to break-out the pins to allow one cable between the house and garage to split at each end to more than one destination.

Good quality

Ideal item to get access to the individual conductors. I found it ideal that having crimped one end I could check all 8 wires were properly terminated by using continuity meter. With one on each end of completed cable you could test the continuity and isolation of the cable.

I should send these things back. They're simply rubbish. There's some internal connection issue, possibly between the screw block and the main body, or possibly the RJ45 contacts, making the whole thing unreliable. Poor show.

The unit is very well constructed, quick delivery of two items,But for my application due to the recessed socket on a Kenwood TK-8189-E Transceiver RJ-45 socket it could not be used due to the construction of the moulding at the front, never less the unit is ideal for other applications in the future

I had a damaged connector on my Ethernet (stranded) cable. Many failed attempts to use the crimped connectors. Consequently I've been using WiFi for 2 years. Now with his connector within 10mins I was up and running with Gb Ethernet. Brilliant!I used the pin-out on the image and this worked perfectly.

I needed a connection that had screw connections and though this would do the job. Unfortunatley the screw connections were so tight. They could not be tightened or untightened without damaging the product.
