Wirepath WP-CAT5E-RJ45-RE Cat 5e RJ45 Connector Red

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-CAT5E-RJ45-RE is a Cat 5e RJ45 unshielded modular connector finished in red. This type of connector terminates structured Cat 5e cabling at patch panels, keystone jacks, or direct device connections in low-voltage data and voice networks. The red color coding supports organized cable management in multi-port installations where port identification is critical. Network installers and low-voltage technicians use this connector in both residential and light commercial structured wiring applications. It is sold individually, making it suitable for small repairs or custom-length patch cable fabrication.

This connector is appropriate for Cat 5e horizontal runs, patch cable assemblies, and structured wiring panels in residential and commercial network installations. The red color designation makes it well suited for environments that use color-coded port mapping to differentiate network segments, VoIP lines, or other service types. Low-voltage technicians working in home automation, security, or data distribution panels will find this connector useful for maintaining consistent termination standards across a structured cabling system.

Key Features

• Cat 5e rated RJ45 modular connector for standard structured cabling terminations
• Red color coding supports port identification and cable management best practices
• Unshielded (UTP) design compatible with standard Cat 5e unshielded cable installations
• Sold individually for single-use repairs or custom patch cable builds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RJ45 modular connector for use with Cat 5e unshielded twisted pair cabling in residential and commercial structured wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or qualified network installers following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Proper termination requires a dedicated RJ45 crimping tool sized for 8P8C modular connectors. Verify that the cable jacket and conductor gauge are compatible with Cat 5e specifications before terminating. De-energize any connected network equipment before handling patch panels or active ports.
