RJ45 planning and installation: now easier and faster than ever with R&M
Created May 11, 2026
Product FocusWith the launch of its harmonised next-generation RJ45 portfolio, R&M is simplifying LAN projects from specification to installation. A universal module design reduces the number of variants to just two per category Planners, buyers and installers can select the right option more quickly, manage fewer part numbers and reduce SKU complexity.
At the heart of the upgrade is Easy Lock quick-mounting technology. Wire guiding, copper wire connection and housing closure are combined into one simple, tool-free step, enabling termination in as little as one to two minutes per module. Integrated features such as strain relief, colour coding and an attached dust cover cap also reduce the risk of dropped parts, installation errors and unnecessary rework.
The modernised Cat. 6A, Cat. 6 and Cat. 5e modules are designed for structured LAN cabling in building, office and IT networks. The EL 4.0 range supports applications up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, while the ISO range provides additional system margins and transmission rates of up to 40 Gbit/s.
R&M has also improved sustainability across the range by phasing down plastic packaging in favour of recycled cardboard boxes and paper bags. Compatible across the R&Mfreenet system and adaptable for third-party products, the new modules offer flexibility for projects worldwide, without compromising performance, reliability or ease of use. The result is a smarter, cleaner and more efficient RJ45 solution that helps customers speed up rollouts, simplify logistics and deliver reliable network performance over time.
