Broken RJ45 Connector Solution (10 pcs: Assorted Colours of Black/Silver/Blue/Yellow/Clear)

I purchased the RJCLIP Broken RJ45 Connector Solution (10 pcs: Assorted Colours) to fix a network cable end with a broken retaining clip. I have a 75’ network cable that runs from my router in the living room all the way through plastic wall cord covers, around the fireplace, under the carpet and back through more wall cord covers. I wanted a solution (short of replacing the RJ-45 connector end) that would keep me from having to replace the entire cable. Once I trimmed off some of the rubber housing from the old cable end the RJCLIP snapped right on the cable connector. I then pushed the cable end into my router and heard a happy “click” to know it locked the cable end snugly into place. A quick pull on the cable confirmed the cable was not going to pull out. I would highly recommend RJCLIP as a quick and easy way to repair network cable ends.

Works as advertised. Saved me from installing new cables.

If you work in a “properly” cabled facility in an office, you don’t need this, because all long cables are in the walls and terminate in a punchdown jack. The cable from the wall outlet has a broken tab? A new SlimRun cable may be cheaper than fixing the tab on the old one, if you don’t mind creating e-waste.But if your physical network infrastructure is less than perfect, and you have long and/or hard-to-restring CABLES with RJ45 plugs on them, these are an excellent repair to the delicate clip. Yes, I can snip off the bad connector (after taking a photo of the wire order…) and crimp a new connector on, but experience teaches that I’m pretty bad at it, and I should budget time and wire to test the cable and prepare to clip off my plug and try again.The people who should buy this right now: anybody using RJ45 connectors in a live/one-time/time-critical event; throw these in the to-go toolbox. Maybe you’ll never use them. But this product instantly repairs a common problem and requires no skill to install; you can send someone else to do it.

Quickly fixed the network cable and avoided the need to cut and re-terminate it to ensure it stays plugged in. Would recommend.

It works okay, but isn't worth $1.25 each. Actually takes some work to get it to stay in place. The catch is on the flimsy side.

These things are a great solution to broken retention clips on ethernet cables. They even work on snagless cables if you shave off some of the rubber on the end (there are videos out there that show how to do this, watch before attempting). The clips are sturdy and snap into place nicely. Broken cables are restored to a usable condition. In my case I had a 100 foot cable running through a large part of my house with a broken clip on one end that would not have been easy to remove and replace. This fixed the issue. The problem is that they are extremely overpriced. They need to either give you more clips for the money, or charge a lot less. I would give them five stars if they were cheaper or they gave you like 20 or 30 clips for this price. The product itself is fantastic.

They are sturdy and flexible at the same time. They perform the task of securing rj45 ends into their respective ports extremely well. I won’t be investing in the transparent kind from here on out.

Difficult to use, didn't end up fitting on my cable. I ended up just buying a new ethernet cable.
