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?

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.

an RJ45 measures 13 mm across , so a 12 mm drill is too small -i would use a 15 mm drill, in order to have some space

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.

Nobus good point. What is the diagonal then? What would be required? 13mm ?
I've a lot of fly leads of differing lengths to use up....
If I were to just put a single cat 5 through and crimp a new connector what drill bit required please?

For a standard cat 5e cable a 6mm drill is enough. It fits and you don't have to fill the hole afterwards.
