I have been looking for some of the Cat5e RJ45 plugs to terminate a

I bought some 2 part plugs, but they were too wide and wouldn't go into

tho', and they were the same, too wide for the socket.

The ones I bought were from Amazon, and they had good reviews and write
ups, but not from me!

Any ideas as to what's going on with the said plugs, and I am no loath
to buy any more in case they are the same.

ooops , wrong group, apologies.

As a thought, are you sure you are dealing with an RJ45 / LAN socket
and not an RJ11 / Phone type socket?

Cheers, T i m


Lan socket, cable tester, laptop and a netgear switch, where the plugs
would not fit in any of them

So its not a RJ45 plug then is it...


Methinks RobH is just playing with us.

Err, no I wasn't actually.
Anyway I have measured the width of a couple of RJ45 plugs, and the
standard ones I already have is 11mm across the width of the plug,
whereas the too wide ones are about 11.2mm or a bit more
