Broken RJ45 Connector Solution (5 pcs in Black/Silver/Blue/Yellow/Clear colors)

Does the job and simpler than replacing the fitting

I'm impressed that these little plastic connectors make the satisfying click and pretty secure connection after the plastic lugs snapped off my existing cable. I have 15m cables so buying these clips was cheaper than a replacement cable. However, the clip has to sit over a moulded rubber part of the cable connector which previously housed the small plastic lug (the one that snapped). This was true for multiple cables that I have. To fit these clips on, I had to spend time sawing off the moulded rubber, which wasn't that easy. After I did that though these worked like a charm. A small and cheap solution to a specific problem.

This was a "godsend" for repairing the broken retaining clip on my RJ45 connector. I had hardwired my house to reduce EMF radiation, and having to re-run this cable would have been time-consuming and stressful. Thank you.

Will admit that I didn't like the price. But I do have damaged plugs on a couple of network cables that, over the years, have become trapped behind the decor & complete renewal was impractical. Pest was that the damaged plugs didn't always stay in the related sockets, even with elastic bands etc. So, these little replacement clips do certainly do the trick and properly keep the plugs engaged, and I can't argue with that. To be fair then, I can't mark them down! For your info, they do appear to be 3D printed, so I guess that somewhere on the internet there is an .stl file for the practical to utilise.

it didnt solve the problem at all after about a month of using it didnt make a difference. not to mention the heat coming off the pc makes the plastic more malleable and makes it even less reliable. i thought they made it out of decent plastic due to the reviews but its not. just buy a new cable.

I had to make a small adjustment to the original plug, but the need was obvious. The repair fitted straight on and now the plug is a good solid-fit once more. Dead easy to use, great result for the cable.

I had two Ethernet candle with broken clips that were routed under floors so not feasible to replace. Both had mouldings that needed trimming but once I did that these fitted perfectly and hold the cables securely. No more connections dropping out!

I bought these RJCLIPs because a the tab had broken off a custom cable, which would have cost me £32 to replace. The clip fitted perfectly onto my RJ45 connector, and then I gave it a very rigorous test to see if it maintained contact, and it passed with flying colours

Parfait pour pour faire face à la casse recurente de la languette du câble rj45.

For those of you who in the Ham Radio Community, these inexpensive connectors are very common to attach a hand microphone to the radio body. For example, my Icom IC-703 radio has an attachable HM-103 microphone that uses this connector but during use, the cheap plastic clip part broke off after snagging on something. After Watching videos showing the process to put on a whole new connector, you had to buy new connectors, specialty crimping tool, and start the tedious task. Thought I would try this simple product. It worked perfectly on my connector with the broken plastic clip. Once installed it seems to hold very well to the connector, and it attaches and detaches from the radio easier than new. So try this first if you don't want to put a whole new connector on. Also, if you look closely, this unit also has a smooth angular clip that appears not stick out and catch on things only to get bent off and broke. So this seems an improvement over what normally comes with the stock hand microphone. Two pictures have been uploaded.

I had a Cat 5 cable with the dreaded broken clip and the RJCLIP worked like a charm to fix it. Rerunning the cable wan't an option and preferred not to crimp on a new end so this product was the answer. Works like new. One note is that the RJCLIP does not fir over the existing sleeve and I couldn't slide it back to reveal the cable end so I used some snips to remove the sleeve and the RJCLIP fir perfectly and snapped right into my connection point as advertised. This really is an affordable and clever solution to those loose or broken clips.

In my home our internet router is in the living room. A few years ago I had painstakingly wired a 50 foot Ethernet cable from our living room to my bedroom where I have a PC, a Tivo and a television with an Amazon Fire Stick -- all of which require a fast, stable internet connection in a location where the wireless signal is weak. Then a couple of months ago the clip broke off the Ethernet cable in my bedroom where I had it plugged into a splitter for my various devices. It was just plain not practical to rewire a whole new 50' cable through walls, etc. I had tried all sorts of things to hold the cable connection in place using everything from a matchstick to putty, and nothing held it in place for very long. Then I spotted this "RJCLIP - Broken RJ45 Connector Solution." I couldn't believe that somebody had come up with such a simple, elegant and inexpensive solution to the exact issue I was having. It took me literally less than 30 seconds to connect the clip and plug it into my splitter... and it works absolutely perfectly to hold the Ethernet cable in place with no signal loss at all. It's a lifesaver! It's rare to find such an easy solution to a seemingly large problem. I'd give this little gizmo ten stars if I could! It made my life so much easier. Thank you!

Honestly I was not sure this would work... I was mistaken, after a little adjustment it works perfectly ! Saved me the trouble of running a very long wire through walls...
