A Perfect Crimp, Every Time: Your Guide to Data Jacks, Plugs & Crimps

A network cable is just a length of wire until it's properly terminated. The quality and reliability of your entire data or voice network literally comes down to the handful of tiny connection points at each end. A dodgy crimp or a loose jack can cause frustrating dropouts and slow speeds.

That's where high-quality data jacks, plugs, and crimps come in. At SCHNAP, we stock a complete range of dependable termination hardware, ensuring every connection you make is rock-solid, compliant, and built to last.

The Components of a Rock-Solid Connection

We've got every part of the termination process covered.

• Data & Voice Jacks (The Socket): These are the female connectors that are terminated in your wall plates or patch panels. Our range includes high-performance RJ45 keystone jacks for Cat5e and Cat6 data networks and modern VoIP phone systems, as well as traditional RJ11/RJ12 phone jacks for standard analogue voice lines.
• Data & Voice Plugs (The End of the Cable): These are the male connectors that are crimped onto the end of a cable, typically to create a custom-length patch lead. We stock a huge range of RJ45 plugs for data and RJ11/RJ12 plugs for telephone applications.
• Crimping Tools (The Finisher): A perfect termination requires a precision tool. A cheap, flimsy crimper can result in a loose connection or damaged conductors. Our range of professional crimping tools ensures a secure, solid connection that properly seats each pin and won't pull loose under strain. It's the most important tool for guaranteeing a reliable network.
