This is a placeholder topic for “Ethernet RJ45 Female Plug Terminal Block” comments.
This Ethernet RJ45 Female Plug to 8-PinTerminal Block consists of a standard RJ45 Ethernet port and a terminal block, which can be used without soldering…
Read moreOne of these at either end of a typical cat5 patch cable just conducts straight through on every wire, yes? (I.e, no transformers buried inside). Application for this is to use cat5 to extend a strain gauge in a way that tends to help cancel out induced electrical noise (there’s a standard for it, it’s a kind of Kelvin junction wiring).
Hi @Remy34271, Welcome to the forums!!!
It should be a 1 to 1 pinout on each end with most ethernet cables and would work for your application.
Just note that ethernet crossover cables do exist. If you used a crossover cable then the pinout would be different on each end. Less common but something to keep in mind.
Hi Aaron.
It is a bit ambiguous but I think Remy means is it a straight through connection between the green connector contacts and RJ45 pins. Maybe not, a bit hard to say.

Hi Bob,
It certainly can be interpreted both ways. Unfortunately, there isn’t much more info on these plugs that we don’t already have.
Hi Jack
I would suggest the sensible thing would be to have the connection between the RJ45 socket and the green connector as pin to pin and any cross overs taken care of in the cable connections. As is normally the case. If connecting without this breakout the wires connect directly to the connector pins.
This can be checked by a continuity test.

We currently don’t have any in-house stock that I can test on.
That makes it hard. Another Forum reader might have one they can check.
