About this print
A replacement retaining clip for RJ45 Ethernet cables where the original locking tab has broken off. The clip attaches over the existing cable connector and restores the locking function that keeps the cable seated firmly in an Ethernet port. It is a practical repair part that avoids replacing an otherwise functional cable or network device. PLA is adequate for this low-stress indoor application and prints the small clip geometry reliably.

These are replacement clips to fix broken ethernet cable clips. The clips attach to the Ethernet cable and replace the broken clip so that the cable stays locked into an Ethernet port.
EDIT - For some reason Simplify3d doesn't like this model. Cura works
EDIT 2 - I recently posted some newer models that reflect the exact dimension per the Ethernet spec... that said I am not sure they work better or worse than the original design. I printed a few and tested them and they seem to work the same as the original design. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded these and posted comments! Enjoy!
EDIT 3 - Just added a slightly LONGER clip for those that were having trouble with the original.

Printing RJ45 Ethernet Cable Clip Repair
For RJ45 Ethernet Cable Clip Repair we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
