Ultimate Guide to the Simply45 Pass Through RJ45 Termination System

rj45 simply 45

What makes the Simply45™ Pass Through RJ45 Termination System stand out?

According to the website for the USA designed and TAA compliant pass through system:

“We re-engineered the pass through RJ45 modular plug to be simply better quality, simply easier to use and simply more affordable.”

In fact, Simply45 was featured as one of the Best of Show winners at InfoComm International 2019 by AV technology, and chosen from literally thousands of other products, representing it’s exceptional achievement in product design and development.  

And there’s good reason why…

In this post, we’ll look at the key features that make the Simply 45 pass through RJ45 termination system stand out and some of the key products the line offers:

Key Features

  • Color Tinted Cap & Connector — Both the jar cap and the connector color match for easy identification of the connector type.
    • CAT6A – Red jar cap and plug
    • CAT 6 – Green jar cap and plug
    • CAT 5E – Blue jar cap and plug
    • Boot CAT5E – Blue to match CAT5E plugs
    • Boot CAT6 – Clear to be used with CAT5E-SH, CAT6 and CAT6E plugs

  • Multiple Plug Options — Different plug sizes are available for different wire sizes. Types include CAT6A and CAT6 UTP, CAT5E UTP and STP. All plugs and boots are also UL-listed

  • True 50 Micro-Inch Pure Gold Contact — Get improved performance and decreased resistance with 24 carat hard gold-plating in the contact area

  • Better Conductivity — Contacts are designed with 3 points or pins that help support the wire, piercing the wire insulation and clasping the wire tight for improved conduction

  • Industry Leading Flammability Rating — Simply25 plugs and boots have the highest flammability rating as per UL94 V0

  • Slim Boot Design — Designed to be the same width as the connector, a slim boot profile makes for cleaner installations

  • Installer Friendly Crimper — Heavy-duty ratcheted crimper ensures quicker and cleaner terminations

Simply 45 RJ45 Modular Plugs

Simply45 modular plugs are uniquely designed to be better quality, easier to use and “simply more affordable.”

The RJ45 plugs are UL94 V0 rated and are designed to allow the wire conductors to pass through the front of the connector completely, so you can easily view and verify the wire order prior to crimping.

The contact plating for each plug is min 50 micro-inch pure gold (24 carat hard gold plate) and exceeds ANSI/TIA-1096-A specifications.

The boots protect against over-crimping, provide a clean and professional termination and maintain the appropriate bend radius for cable performance. UL, RoHS, FCC and TAA compliant.
