Finding a free hanging Cable to Cable connector?

[CADALL]

I'm designing a pigtail from my security camera and I can't find a molex or samtec connector that fits the need.

Basically, I need the ability to have my eight free wires, stripped and tinned, going into a bulkhead that allows me to fasten some screws down like in a terminal block style to fixate the wires on one end. Then allowing the user to take their eight wires and also fasten some other screws on the opposite side to marry the two together.

Can anyone make a suggestion?

Thank you for your help!

How about Eurostyle terminal strips

Eight wires. Is that a Power-over-Ethernet security camera?

If it is, then you should stick to Ethernet wiring standards.

If not, then disregard.

Even if not PoE, the RJ-45 connector is awfully easy to reallocate and wrie up any way you want. Your IT guys will hate you though if these get installed next to Ethernet connectors.

L-Com has some nice IDC (insulation displacement contact) versions that sound like they would fit your needs.

If you don't mind soldering you might find nice solutions at Positronics (

Sure seems like this need is so that any "homeowner/user" can install these things.. I doubt any would want to solder or buy an IDC tool.
Frankly I would just include regular .250" quick connect or butt splice terminals you can buy at the hardware store and keep the wires single/free. Every homeowner should have a regular red/blue/yellow crimp tool or pliers to easily crimp those. If not the tool is just a few bucks at the hardware store.

Ah, I missed the attached photo. I second your suggestion for the Eurostyle.
