Drill bit to bore hole for rj45 connecter through wall
Say, drill bit to bore hole for rj45 connecter through wall required.
The connector is connected to the cable. Would a 12" drill bit do?

Are you asking if a 12-inch bit would be a large enough diameter to fit an RJ45 connector through?
Dhanesh Kansari
do you mean by 12 MM or 12 Inch? How many cable do you want to through wall?

I ask because 12-inch bit = obviously, yes.
if you were referring to 1/2-inch, not quite big enough...could fit through, but would take some force and probably damage the connector. you would be better off with a 5/8-inch bit.
RJ45 is 8P8C Connector having 21.46x11.68x8.30 mm (LengthxWidthxHeight). So, as per standard size we need to drill with 12MM drillbit. After doing 12MM hole you can get through the wall. Now depend on wall size. you need use long Masonry Drill.
Am I the only one who thinks drilling mouse-sized holes in your walls is *maybe* a bad idea?
A crimping tool is $10, plus $1 a bag of 10 RJ45 connectors.
And you don't even have to search the internet on how to align the colored wires, just keep the connector you cut.
shauwwin - iposted that in my very first POST 15mm, since it measures already 13 mm across !
Dhanesh - that is not what the author asked, and in fact - you don't know what material the wall is made off
many walls now are made of concrete, or panels
