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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

I don't know how it can work for other users. If I try to put it on the metal part of the RJ45 connector, the cable will not fit into the socket. But it is not large enough to fit around the plastic part of the connector which is before the metal end. Completely useless.

Does the job and simpler than replacing the fitting

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

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.

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.

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...
