Leviton EZ-RJ45® Cat 5e Modular Plug — Faster Terminations, Zero Wasted Connectors
The Leviton 47613-EZC EZ-RJ45 Cat 5e Modular Plug is engineered for professional network installers who demand speed, accuracy, and consistent performance. Unlike conventional RJ45 plugs, the EZ-RJ45 features pass-through openings that allow conductors to extend out the front of the plug body, letting technicians visually confirm wire sequence before crimping. The result: no more bad terminations, no wasted connectors, and no re-crimps.
When terminated using the Leviton EZ-RJ45 Crimp Tool (40989-ACT, sold separately), these plugs exceed ANSI/TIA-1096-A Category 5e performance requirements for attenuation, NEXT, and return loss — making them suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, VoIP, and structured cabling installations in commercial, industrial, and residential environments.
