Broken RJ45 Connector Solution (5 pcs: Assorted Colours of Black/Silver/Blue/Yellow/Clear)

Does the job and simpler than replacing the fitting

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

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.

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.
