Cat 6 RJ45 Crystal Head 100-Piece Can with Shielded and Gold-Plated Contact Options

When terminating network cables for data installations, a reliable RJ45 plug makes all the difference between a stable connection and intermittent faults. These Cat 6 crystal heads are designed for consistent performance, offering both shielded and unshielded variants to suit different cabling environments. Supplied in a convenient 100-piece can, this bulk pack covers the needs of a typical installation or maintenance project. The injection-moulded construction ensures each plug has uniform dimensions, which helps achieve proper contact with the jack and reduces the risk of rework. Whether you need standard 3U gold-plated contacts for everyday use or heavier 50U plating for demanding applications, this range includes the right option.

Features and Construction

The crystal heads are built around a robust plastic housing with precisely positioned contact pins, available in several gold-plating thicknesses and a full-copper version for the shielded jack model.

Material and Build

Each plug is manufactured using injection moulding, a process that gives consistent shape and dimensions across all 100 pieces. The contacts are gold-plated in 3U, 15U, or 50U thickness options, allowing you to select the level of corrosion resistance and conductivity that fits your budget and performance requirements. The shielded jack version includes a metal housing that provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and is also available with full copper contacts for enhanced conductivity.

Size and Practical Fit

The plugs are sized to the standard RJ45 form factor, compatible with Cat 6 solid or stranded twisted-pair cable. The design includes a latch that securely locks into the Ethernet port once terminated. The white colour gives a clean, professional appearance in patch panels, wall plates, or direct cable runs.

Uses and Placement

These crystal heads are suitable for a wide range of data cabling tasks, from structured cabling in offices to home network installations.

Professional and Commercial Use

For IT technicians and network installers, having 100 plugs in one can streamlines inventory management. Shielded jacks are ideal for environments with high electrical noise, such as industrial floors or data centres. The different gold-plating options let you match the connector to the expected lifespan and signal quality requirements of each job.

Everyday Home and Office Use

Home users setting up a wired network will find the 100-piece pack generous for multiple rooms. The unshielded plugs with 3U gold plating offer a cost-effective solution for standard Ethernet connections in dry, low-interference environments. The consistent crimping dimensions help achieve reliable terminations even with basic tools.

Benefits and Buying Value

Buying in bulk reduces per-unit cost and ensures you have the right connector on hand when needed, without making multiple trips to a shop.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation, maintaining signal integrity over time. The shielded versions help prevent signal degradation from nearby electrical cables, reducing the likelihood of network dropouts. Once properly crimped, these plugs require no ongoing maintenance.

Why Choose This Product

With multiple contact plating options and the choice of shielded or unshielded design, you can select the precise plug for your cable type and environment. The injection-moulded housing gives every plug the same dimensions, which is critical for consistent termination. The 100-piece can size suits both small and medium projects without wasting packaging material.
