RJ45 Plug OEM / ODM FAQ
We design and manufacture high-performance RJ45 plugs for Cat5e–Cat8 copper cabling systems. This FAQ explains our OEM/ODM capabilities, packaging options, performance standards, and certifications to help you choose the right RJ45 connector OEM manifactirer for your brand and your structured cabling projects.
OEM / Branding FAQs
- What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom RJ45 plugs?:The MOQ for custom branding is typically 30,000 - 50,000 pieces per part number, depending on material type and packaging complexity.
- Can EXW provide OEM/ODM services for RJ45 plugs?:Yes. EXW offers full OEM/ODM services, including logo engraving, plug design customization, boot color coding, and eco-friendly paper packaging. We help brands launch complete RJ45 product lines quickly and consistently.
- How long does it take from design approval to mass production?:For new OEM designs, the average lead time is 3 - 4 weeks after tooling and sample confirmation.
- Can EXW match packaging and labeling with our existing keystone jacks or patch cords?:Yes. Our design team ensures unified branding across your product family — from RJ45 plugs to keystone jacks and patch panels.
- Can we order accessories such as boots, crimp tools, or color-coded inserts together?:Yes. EXW provides full solutions and accessory kits for OEM customers.
- Can you design custom packaging for RJ45 plugs with our logo?:Yes. We offer customizable PP or PE bags, paper boxes, and recyclable zip bags with full-color printing and barcode or QR code options.
- Do you provide sustainable packaging solutions?:Yes. EXW now provides plastic-free paper packaging that reduces plastic waste, aligning with global ESG goals.
- What information can be printed on the packaging?:We can include product category (Cat6A, Cat8), PoE rating, barcode, brand name, and compliance icons for easy retail or project identification.
Product Performance, Compliance, and Compatibility
- What cable types and wire gauges are supported?:Our RJ45 plugs are compatible with Cat5e to Cat8 solid or stranded cables from AWG 22–26, depending on plug specs. Always terminate your cable with the plug sample first.
- Does the plug support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?:Yes. EXW’s shielded Cat6A and Cat8 plugs are tested for IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) up to 90 W without failing.
- What is the plug’s performance rating?:Cat6A RJ45 Plug: up to 500 MHz, 10 Gb/s. Cat8 RJ45 Plug: up to 2,000 MHz, 25 Gb/s. All plugs meet or exceed ISO/IEC 11801-1 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards.
- Are the plugs backward compatible with lower categories?:Yes. A Cat6A or Cat8 plug can be used with Cat6 or Cat5e cables, but performance will match the lowest component in the channel.
- How durable are EXW’s RJ45 plugs?:Each plug endures at least 750 insertion cycles and passes contact resistance < 20 mΩ and shield continuity testing.
- What certifications does EXW’s RJ45 plug have?:All EXW plugs comply with ISO/IEC 11801-1 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, UL 94 V-0 (available upon request), RoHS, and REACH environmental directives.
- Are test reports available for verification?:Yes. Please discuss with our sales representative about which type of test report you would like to see.
- How does EXW ensure quality consistency?:We conduct 100% visual inspection, contact resistance testing, and corrosion testing on every lot. Our factories are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.
Support for Procurement & Large Projects
- Can EXW assist in selecting the right plug for our cable type?:Yes. Please discuss the sample length with our sales representative and send us your cable sample. Our engineers provide pairing guidance between plug models and cable specifications to ensure proper fit and channel performance.
