What is the width of RJ45 connector?

Description

RJ45 plug with through holes, cat. 6 is for 4-pair, 24-23 AWG twisted-pair cable, accepts solid, with a maximum conductor insulation diameter (1.07mm). The connector is mounted with a crimping tool with a wire trimming function. The connector differs from the usual one by the presence of through holes through which twisted pair conductors pass freely. At the same time, there is no need to pre-cut the wires to a predetermined length,

Recommended mounting tool:

  1. HT-180EBG Crimp tool for RJ45 8P Pass-Thru, Hanlong
  2. LW-HT-002TC Tool for crimping 8P/RJ45 feedthroughs, with cable stripper and cutter

Characteristics:

  • Category 6
  • Body material Plastic
  • Contact material gold-plated bronze
  • Wiring diagram T568A / T568B
  • Overall length (mm) 22.44
  • Screen Type Unshielded (UTP)
  • Width (mm) 11.68
  • Height (mm) 8.01
  • Compatible wire gauge (AWG) 24-23
  • Compatible with solid conductors
  • MAXIMUM INSULATION DIAMETER OF 0.97~1.07 MM
  • OPERATING LIFE:750 CYCLES MIN
  • OPERATION: -25℃~+55℃


The OP no doubt went away and did something or another eons ago, but it's like this for future queries. The diameter of the plug itself is within a half inch circle. An RJ45 plug will slide right into the hole in a drill index for a half inch bit... right up to the latch which on my new and improved CAT 8 cable protrudes another quarter of an inch and if your run through the wall is short, such as a plywood shed wall with no insulation, it ought to pass right through a 3/4 inch hole, but the thicker the wall the more chance for snagging up. With a 3/4 inch hole though you ought to be able to shove it through with something, or pull it through, maybe damaging the latch or maybe not. You have to have a low opinion of the wall in question to put that big of a hole in it. I've run an electrical cord through several elevated plywood shed floors but had to drill three interlocking 3/4 inch holes to do so... but I had no regard whatsoever for those floors. I could have used POE, but I would have had to buy pieces-parts and I had an extension cord that I wasn't using handy, so I just ran it down through one shed floor and up through another. A brick wall in a residential structure... NEVER... even I wouldn't do THAT! Either buy the tools and supplies to terminate ethernet or hire someone who has them to do the job for you correctly. Some crimpers have a wiring diagram right on them... but you may not get it right the first time or even a few after that and really need a tester, too. Twisted pair that has to be criss-crossed all over before it goes in to be crimped, is easy to do wrong. With constant practice I'm sure its easy. As seldom as I do it I have to move slowly and carefully and check and re-check.

Oh, and BTW: To drill a hole in in masonry of any kind including brick where if possible one goes through a mortar joint, you need either a masonry bit or a "star drill", and to drill through a wall a rather long and expensive masonry bit or "star drill", and I'm not sure that ones going up to 3/4" can be found. If they can, they aren't common and you will work yourself almost to death making a hole through a brick wall with either. A "star drill" is really a special asterisk-shaped punch that you beat on with THE RIGHT KIND OF HAMMER and with good eye protection till you make some kind of hole, often a rather messy one. All in all... get someone who knows what they are doing for that kind of job, too. A hole just large enough to pass the bare ethernet wire through, is much easier to drill because it's much smaller but I'm not going to say how small because of variations in total thickness of the wire outdoor burial usually being thicker and stiffer, if you need that.
