RJ-45 Easy Plug Repair for Cat5e & Cat6 (Clear | Bag of 50)

This handy clip saved me from having to re-run a new 25' ethernet cable through the wall. The old ethernet cable's locking tab was broken, and I was forced to rig it the interface with some electrical tape to keep the end from falling out.This clip slides over the end of the ethernet cable and is positioned (clamped) on the area behind the interface (wire connector). I did need to trim off some of the old broken tab, but a simple diagonal cutter cleaned it up just fine. I shared some of these clips with our kids since they also had some broken ethernet clips as well. All went well. These clips were a simple install and made it much, much easier than having to replace difficult ethernet installations!

Perfect for my connection to NVIDIA shield pro.

They work as intended, but are too expensive for tiny pieces of plastic.

I work a lot with CAT cables and I often find the tabs broken on the RJ-45 connectors. I used to have to either throw them away, spend time re-terminating them, and/or having to re-run a new cable. Now, I just pull one of these repair clips out of my work box and continue on with my day like nothing happened.Other engineers have seen me use them and immediately ordered some for their work kits. I've even tossed a packet of them into some of my clients CAT6 cable bins to same them and me a headache later. They are definitely worth having some if you work a lot with CAT cables.

Judging by the reviews, these things must work great in some receptacles. And they were an interesting invention. I could get them to work in the receptacle I needed them for, but the amount of modification was ridiculous. So they didn’t work for me. I’ll just say if you buy these it’s a crapshoot. Not worth sending them back. My advice by the tools you need to replace that ends.

There is a manufacturing defect that makes these adapters unable to fit into any of the ethernet ports of any devices in my extensive home network. However, I discovered that if I use an X-Acto knife to chisel off the offending "bump" that appears on the latch, near the bottom where it connects with the box that clips onto the cable, then the adapter and cable will insert and clip into ports I was previously unable to use with the adapter in place. You'll find a tiny red oval encircling the offending "bump" in the attached photo. It looks like left-over plastic from injection into the mould.
