100 Pcs CAT6 RJ45 Pass Through 23 AWG Network Cable Modular Gold-Plated Plug 8P8C Connector End

Highlights –-I’m colorblind, so verifying the wiring order once through the connector is far easier than traditional RJ45 connectors-Comes in a bag inside of a box, great for storage-Solid copper, with great signal quality and zero failures (40 used so far)Pro’s –-Works with CAT6-So far, zero failures (crimped 40 so far, with Klein VDV226-110)-Passes Fluke cable testing with flying colors-Fast & easy method for crimping CAT6 ethernet, great for beginners & professionals alikeCon’s –-So far, none! I have not experienced a bad connector yetOverall:When redoing my home network with CAT6, I found myself wanting to make custom-length cables for certain applications. While I had plenty of experience with traditional RJ45 crimp connectors, I figured I would try these out to see if it would make anything easier, especially as I am colorblind. With 40 connectors used so far, with zero failures, I am impressed! The ability to see the wiring, after it has been pushed through the connector, but before it’s crimped, has saved me from inadvertently mixing up wires, and being colorblind, has certainly helped me! My Fluke PoE-capable cable quality tester gives the proverbial thumbs up on these, and I’m certainly looking forward to using more of these connectors in the future.

I'm no pro, and have only minimal (30 or 40 cables) experience terminating network cables. I needed to terminate some Cat6, and was having a hard time using regular connectors. The wires were too thick for me to flatten into alignment (particularly wire 6) while still keeping enough sheathing to be retained by the end of the clip.This item worked great. I was able to expose plenty of wire, easily align them, and then snip off the extra wire after pushing it through the connector. I was able to easily identify that each wire was in the correct position before crimping.Another reviewer mentioned that his clips would not "snap" into place. I noticed that the release arm on many of my clips was too shallow. I was able to slightly pry them up, allowing it to clip into place. I'm not sure how that trick will work in the long run, but my clips remained fasted during my testing, and again over night. It's definitely going to work for me.I'd buy this item the next time I had terminations to make, and highly recommend it.I used this crimper BUNDLE Crimping and Punch Down Tools with 66, 110 and Krone Blades - for 4P/6P/8P, RJ-11/RJ-12/RJ-45 Network and Telephone Cables (Crimper&Punch) and this inexpensive flush-cut cutter Eurotool XTL-0048 XS Flush Side Cutter Pliers for Jewelry Wire and this tester ELEGIANT RJ11 RJ45 Cable Tester Multifunction Wire Tracker Check Wire Measuring Instrument.

These RJ45 connectors work great for my 23AWG Cat 6 riser cable from TrueCable (solid bare copper, part number 6ECMRWHT_1Kbx).

These are good overall. In my past box of 100, I had a few that did not have clear holes to pass the wires thru. I just pitched those few away, as part of doing business. I've not tried certifying the thru-put using these, but for general use networking, Ive not run into to problems. They seem to hole up just fine and pick up GB networks without trouble. If you use them right, and have experience in putting on Rj45, you'll have no troubles. If this is your first time putting a connector on, and looking for an easy way to terminate, this is a good product. If your the latter, expect some failures till you get used to the product before naysaying them. For the $, can't beat them. Anyone tried certifying these?

Especially if you dress a lot of them, as I do, you'll love these because not only are they shielded for use on those critical shielded cables, but they are perforated at the end to make crimping them on easy and fast compared to the non-perforated models.Those who are experienced in this work know what I'm talking about. So often we are given those cheap clear plastic RJ-45 ends and after you strip the outer jacket and straighten the pairs, and put them in the correct standards order of color coding, you stuff them into the connector and they hit the end of the inside of the connector channel. Unless you have all eight conductors perfectly cut to the right length (and who has time for that?) you will end up with some conductors not in all the way and some coming up short. With these connectors, you stuff the conductors into it and they come out a hole at the end of the channel allowing you to quickly push all conductors fully into their channels and the outer jacket into the pinch area. It's so fast and easy, and all because of those eight holes at the end of those eight channels.I use these even on un-shielded cable because I love 'em.

These are great connectors and super easy to use with no chance of mistakes. I have been using these for a few years now in all my network installs. With the pass-through feature you can always verify if the wires are in the correct order before crimping so there are no wiring mismatches. Easy to install. Strip the wire, organize the wiring pattern for your needs, insert into the connector and push in as tight as you can get it, Verify correct wiring pattern, Cut excess wire off as close as you can with a Electrician’s Scissors, Pull back on the wire a little tiny bit until the wire on the end is flush with the end of the connector, crimp the connector. Easy and fast with no mistakes!
