Broken RJ45 Connector Solution (5 pcs in Black, Silver, Blue, Yellow, and Clear Colors)

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.

These are one of the smartest inventions I’ve seen and are so inexpensive for what they do. I was anxious about the quality , but have had no issues with the connection and have been able to plug and unplug the cable without and fear of breaks.

I cant give it 5 starts b/c you do have to push down on the arm on the clip in order to insert it into a number of RJ45 ports. Very little inconvenience. Once it is inserted, the clip is secured into the port and the cable works like it should. The clip is not friendly to some ethernet cables that come w/ a boot so you may have to do some cutting. After you take the boot off; the clip is easy to install, and problem solved!!! GREAT alternative to buying a RJ45 crimping tool which can be pricey depending on your budget. Also, you have to know what you are doing when crimping. This item avoids all of that. This here is genius at work.

Been using them for about a month and they absolutely work. I had a few issues getting it to stay in the socket at first. But when i finally got it in and got it to stay in I have had zero problems! I am playing World of Warcraft with out having the cable fallout. I highly recommend this! I have uaeed just the ne but the other 4 are being kept safe just in case.

I bought this after carefully reviewing the details of what kinds of people were having issues with it to determine if it was a quality issue or a user issue. Turns out, for the most part, it was user-related as in there was a lack of common sense to shave down or cut plastic on the head of their ethernet cords to make this fit. It was perfectly snug and clicked right into the hole upon testing it. I recommend that if you buy it, before purchasing actually determine if your cable is physically impossible to use with it by viewing if the plastic tab is fully gone where this would rest (see pic) or if you have a very strangely shaped ethernet head where it wouldn't work at all even if you shaved some of the plastic down to make it fit. I will definitely buy more if I need more from this vendor. Hope this helps you make an informed decision to know if this is right for you. 99% of the ethernet cords will fit this and chances are you don't have a special cord.

I have several cat5 enet cables that have broken terminator clips. They no longer lock in the port and can easily be pulled out. These were a less expensive than replacing the cables. They work just fine but in some cases I could not remove them from the socket! I had to use my needle nose pliers to get it out. Now I will only use them with cables I don’t have to plug and replug. Once they are in I can leave them plugged in and they work great for that!

These work well. They saved me having to replace a long Ethernet cable, which seemed like a waste. And avoided having to put on a whole new connector and stripping the wire, etc. All that was broken was the little plastic piece that holds it into the port. The Ethernet cord I have had a blue rubber lip cover on it (to supposedly keep the plastic piece that broke from breaking?). In order to get the RJ Clip to fit correctly, I had to trim off this blue rubber piece with scissors, and make it level. Then the new RJ Clip fit fine.

More than one occasion the small clip tab on the computer cable end has been broken off inadvertently. These clips prevent you from spending more money on a new cable. The cables are a lot more expensive than a pack of these clips. They are not easy to install but when you get it right it works like a charm. I almost sent these back as they were not holding the cable in the port. BUT, I did not. I had installed them wrong and after studying the pictures I was able to figure out how to get it to hold correctly. The instructions do not help as they are almost non-existent. But these clips work. You just have to fiddle around with them until you get it right.
