Quality Assurance and Quality Control Testing Procedures of RJ45 Plugs and Patch Cords

Excellence Wire has our very own research and development center that is well equipped to run many kinds of routine testing. All of our products must meet specific legal, industry, and customer requirements from sourcing to manufacturing to packaging. From raw materials to final products, we conduct a variety of testing, as listed below. The test reports are available upon request. We manufacture products with excellent features and superior performance that surpasses international standards. We stand behind our products and hold responsibility for the quality of the products.


Tensile Strength Test for RJ45 Ethernet Cables

The test is critical for selecting appropriate materials during research and development. The pull tester determines the maximum stress that a patch cord can withstand and verifies the minimum strength and elongation requirements to break the cable. We use a common testing method known as “Pull and Break” by directly pulling the wire joint until destruction. EXW patch cables can sustain pulling force up to at least 20 lbf (9.1 kgf) on average without being damaged.

Insertion and Withdrawal Test for 8P8C Modular Plugs

We measure the insertion and withdrawal cycles of a connector at a constant speed of push-and-pull by a motorized test machine. This is done over multiple cycles to verify that our 50 microinch gold plated RJ45 8P8C connectors exceed the international standard (750 cycles) and can be re-inserted at a minimum of 1,200 times.

Incoming Quality Control of RJ45 Ethernet Cable Manufacturing and Assembly

We have strict IQC testing protocols. The video will quickly walk you through the types of testing that we do before production. The comprehensive testing procedures include cable dimensional testing, measurement of insulation thickness, cable termination testing, and color inspection. We also have many other testings that may be appropriate for your project. We are able to ensure quality and come up with inventive solutions to common issues that your type of project may have.

In-Process Quality Control of 8P8C Ethernet Patch Cord Assembly

The stringent IPQC of ethernet patch cords is the final quality control (FQC) of RJ45 ethernet connectors. From exterior inspection to functionality testing, the procedure includes plug housing hole diameter inspection, dimensional inspection, visual inspection, height inspection of retaining latch, bend testing of retaining latch, and connector pin height measurement. During visual inspection, we ensure that every plug housing has no black specks, flow lines, sink marks, vacuum voids, scratches, flashes, warping, and discoloration. In each bend testing, a retaining latch is bent at least 20 times to guarantee the durability.

Plating Thickness Measurement

We have a professional electroplating workshop to make different gold plating thicknesses. The thickness of the gold coating is an essential factor in determining the functionality, appearance, and cost of a final product. Through the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer, we can ensure that our products meet the requested gold plating thickness. The XRF analyzer is a very clean test method because it requires no chemicals. The plating thickness measurement can be done quickly with this non-destructive instrument.

Corrosion Resistance Assessments: Salt Spray Testing and Nitric Acid Testing

We offer 2 kinds of testings to assess corrosion resistance of the gold coating and the substrate materials: (1) salt spray testing for contact pins and gold wires and (2) nitric acid testing for gold wires. The contact pins are used in modular plugs, and the gold wires are component parts of keystone jacks. Both of the testings are common accelerated corrosion test methods. The samples under test are exposed to a highly corrosive environment in a closed cabinet over an extended period of time. The duration of the test is positively related to the plating thickness.
