RJ45 connectors
RJ45 connectors
I need durable RJ45 connectors that can withstand heavy use. The existing ones have damaged clips, so I'm seeking tougher options that are difficult to break. Look for reliable terminations suitable for demanding environments.
I haven't relied on them much personally, but I've noticed these in use before and they looked quite reliable within a few seconds of handling: http://www.te.com/usa-en/products/connec...=pgp-story There are also RJ45 connectors with XLR-style shields if the equipment allows it: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1yq72bpuWB...20x220.jpg They work well when you connect to the same devices repeatedly (ideal for portable military networks).
Sadly, most items are made from plastic. You could extend their life by purchasing a protective plastic cover for the clip, which would need you to reattach the cable.
Using plastic clips can help reduce snagging issues. https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Plastic-Et...B00K82RNX2 I also discovered these options, though I don’t have prior experience with them: https://www.adorama.com/pt202035j.html?g...ltEALw_wcB There could be alternatives with metal clips, but I’m worried about the ports they connect to. I’ve noticed many broken RJ45 jacks. If the cable is pulled out, the jack might break and stop accepting a working connection.
