UGREEN NW120 Cat6 RJ45 Unshielded Connector 100 Pack costs KSh 1,400 at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Every pack is brand new and sealed, holding 100 8P8C modular plugs with gold-plated contact pins, a see-through polycarbonate shell, and rated support for 1000Mbps Gigabit links. The UGREEN NW120 terminates Cat6 unshielded twisted pair cable and also handles Cat5e and Cat5 runs. At KSh 1,400 for 100 pieces, each plug works out to KSh 14 which starts to matter when one office floor swallows sixty ends before lunch. Stock sits on the shelf now, ready to collect over the counter.
Network technicians, CCTV installers, ISP field crews, and campus IT staff buy the UGREEN NW120 100 Pack because crimping is a numbers game. A junior technician burns ten to fifteen ends learning the T568B wire order, and weak plugs snap at the latch or lose contact after a few months in a humid Mombasa equipment room. Buying five connectors at a time from a downtown stall means a second trip mid-job, usually at the worst hour. A 100-piece box instead covers a full apartment block, a 20-desk office network, or a week of maintenance callouts without stopping work.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded loose plugs sold by the handful, Mascom International carries the UGREEN NW120 as a sealed 100-piece pack from a brand with published contact plating and conductor tolerances. Installers consistently report fewer failed crimps from clear-bodied plugs, because the wire order is visible before the tool closes. The transparent shell of the UGREEN NW120 is exactly that. Walk into our Kimathi Street counter to inspect a plug in person, or order the UGREEN NW120 100 Pack for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the UGREEN NW120 Cat6 RJ45 Unshielded Connector 100 Pack
What exactly do I get for KSh 1,400?
You get 100 RJ45 modular plugs nothing else, no tool and no cable. Each plug is an unshielded 8P8C connector built for Cat6 UTP cable, with gold-plated copper pins and a clear body. At KSh 14 per piece, the pack is priced for people terminating cable regularly rather than fixing one patch lead. A crimping tool and a cable tester are sold separately at Mascom International, and our counter staff will match the right tool to these plugs.
Will these work with Cat5e cable or only Cat6?
They work with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 unshielded twisted pair cable. The plug is built around Cat6 conductor dimensions, roughly 1.1mm insulated conductor diameter, so Cat5e cores seat comfortably inside the same channels. What they will not do is terminate shielded (STP or FTP) cable properly, since there is no metal shield contact. For shielded backbone runs between buildings, ask Mascom International for shielded plugs instead using unshielded ends there defeats the cable's screening.
Do I need a crimping tool, or can I press these by hand?
You need a standard RJ45 crimping tool. These are crimp-style plugs, not tool-free connectors, and pressing by hand will not drive the eight gold pins through the wire insulation. Any common 8P8C crimper works no special die is required. Mascom International stocks crimping tools and LAN testers at our Kimathi Street store, and buying tool and plugs together saves you a return trip. Budget for a tester too, because untested runs are how a whole day gets lost.
Are these pass-through connectors?
No. The UGREEN NW120 is a standard non-passthrough plug, so the eight conductors stop inside the body rather than poking out the front. That means you trim the wires to length before inserting them, which takes a little more care on the first few. The payoff is a fully closed contact face with no exposed copper at the tip. Technicians used to pass-through ends should slow down for the first ten crimps, then the rhythm returns.
Why do gold-plated contacts matter in Kenyan conditions?
Gold resists corrosion, and corrosion is the quiet killer of network links along the coast and in unventilated rooms. Humidity in Mombasa, Malindi, and Kilifi attacks bare copper contacts, producing intermittent faults that look like a faulty switch port. Gold plating on the eight pins keeps contact resistance stable for years. Dust is the other factor the closed plug body and secure latch keep grit off the contact face in ceiling voids and rooftop cabinets on dusty upcountry sites.
Can I use these for CCTV cameras running over PoE?
Yes. IP cameras using Power over Ethernet run on the same Cat6 UTP cable and the same 8P8C plug, so the UGREEN NW120 terminates camera drops exactly as it terminates desk points. Keep runs under 100 metres from switch to camera and use solid-core cable for permanent installs. For Dahua and similar camera deployments, most installers terminate at both the camera pigtail and the NVR patch panel, which is why 100-piece packs disappear so fast on site.
How many connectors does a real job actually need?
A 20-desk office network typically needs about 80 plugs two ends per run, plus patch leads and a wastage allowance. A four-storey apartment block wired for fibre-to-the-home distribution often uses 60 to 120. Budget 15 percent wastage for learning crimps, mis-orders, and re-terminations after a failed tester result. One 100-piece pack therefore covers most single-site jobs outright, which is why field teams working Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu keep a spare pack in the vehicle.
What network speed will these actually support?
They are rated for 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet over Cat6 cable within a 100-metre channel. Real throughput depends on your switch, cable quality, and crimp accuracy far more than on the plug itself. A clean termination on Cat6 cable with a Gigabit switch gives you the full link. Cat6 cable can carry 10 Gigabit over shorter distances, roughly 37 to 55 metres, though that depends on your cable and equipment rather than these connectors.
Technical Specifications
Connector Format and Contact Design
- 8P8C RJ45 modular plug format fits every standard Ethernet port on switches, routers, and wall outlets
- Eight gold-plated copper contact pins resist corrosion, holding stable resistance in humid coastal and rooftop installations
- Three-point staggered contact design bites the conductor at multiple points for a firmer electrical joint
- Unshielded (UTP) construction with no drain wire contact, matching standard unshielded Cat6 building cable
- Crimp-style non-passthrough body keeps conductor ends fully enclosed behind the contact face
- Sprung retention latch clicks into ports and holds under cable weight in ceiling and cabinet runs
- Standard plug dimensions accept common RJ45 strain relief boots sold separately at Mascom International
Cable and Conductor Compatibility
- Built for Cat6 unshielded twisted pair cable and fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5
- Accepts both solid-core cable for permanent wall runs and stranded cable for flexible patch leads
- Suits insulated conductor diameters around 1.1mm, matching the 23AWG to 26AWG range on common Cat6 cable
- Not suitable for shielded STP or FTP cable, which requires a shielded plug with metal shield contact
- Works with T568A and T568B wiring standards — pick one order and keep it consistent site-wide
- Terminates cable feeding routers, switches, patch panels, IP cameras, decoders, printers, and desktop workstations
Data Transmission Capability
- Rated for 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet across a full 100-metre channel from switch port to endpoint
- Backward compatible with 100Mbps and 10Mbps equipment, so older switches and decoders still link normally
- Carries Power over Ethernet current for IP cameras, access points, and IP phones on the same cable
- Contact plating reduces signal loss at the termination point, where most avoidable link errors originate
- Suits Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, and Faiba router-to-device runs where Wi-Fi cannot reach reliably
- Handles video surveillance streams, VoIP traffic, and file server transfers on the same structured cabling
Housing Material and Site Durability
- Transparent polycarbonate shell lets you confirm wire order and full insertion before closing the crimp tool
- Wear-resistant and dirt-resistant plastic holds its clarity instead of yellowing after months in service
- Shell strength reduces cracking during crimping, cutting the wasted-plug count on high-volume jobs
- Closed body keeps dust off the contact face in ceiling voids, rooftop cabinets, and unsealed server rooms
- Tolerates Kenya's temperature swings from Nairobi's cool nights to Garissa and Lodwar daytime heat
- Latch design resists snapping when cables are pulled or repatched during routine cabinet maintenance
Termination Workflow and Tooling
- Requires a standard 8P8C crimping tool — no proprietary die, no brand-specific press needed
- Trim conductors flush to the plug's front wall before insertion, since this is a non-passthrough design
- Clear body lets you verify all eight wires reach the contact channels before committing the crimp
- Pair with a basic LAN cable tester to confirm continuity and pair order on every terminated run
- Allow roughly 15 percent wastage on new installs to cover learner crimps and re-terminations
- Crimping tools, cable testers, Cat6 cable, patch panels, and strain relief boots are stocked separately at Mascom International
