Cable Matters 100-Pack Cat 6 Pass Through RJ45 Connectors (RJ45 Pass Through Connectors / Cat6 Connector) for Solid or Stranded UTP Ethernet Cable

Feel well made & work well for basic installs, not tested them for anything major so can't comment on that

Good value, easy to use and useful container. Push-through connectors that simply work. Recommended

They work very well

These seem like some excellent connectors, and when paired with a decent passthrough crimper, terminate cleanly. The cables pass through easily, and it's so nice being able to easily get visual confirmation of each cable being securely at the right terminal. I haven't done too much field testing yet, but most of my systems are only 1GbE so I'm not forseeing any issues.

I've been making network cables for years, and to this day I find putting RJ45's plugs on a bit fiddly. As careful as I am, sometimes one wire doesn't quiet reach the prong or a couple of wires get flipped over and I have to cut it off and start again. Human error and all that, we've all done it.So this is where I thought "PASSTHRU RJ45'S THAT'S GENIUS, I'LL SAVE SO MUCH TIME, CUT DOWN ON HUMAN ERROR AND STOP WASTING PLUGS"... oh how wrong I was. I bought these plugs and made a cable up and it tested bad. (*NOTE* One end of the cable had a preassembled plug on it). Despite passing thru all 8 wires in the correct order, once crimped only wires 1, 5,6,7,8 would work. So I cut it off and tried another one. Again only 1,2,5,6,8 worked. Ok, that's bad luck right? So I cut it off and tried another. Again it tested bad as 1,2,4,5,8.I cut it off and grabbed a regular RJ45 I had lying around, fed the wires in, crimped it down and it was fine first time. Wires 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 all tested ok. Thank goodness for my cable tester otherwise I'd have no way of being able to diagnose the issue being the plug and not the cable. To look at these plugs the wires look like they were terminating but on closer inspection, I'm not convinced all of the blades were puncturing the wire sleeves and some of the plastic looks like it was getting deformed by my crimping tool which doesn't happen with every other plug I've ever crimped.I'm sending these back for a refund, and looking at other feedback, I'm not the only one. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I can't rely on these at all. Of the handful I tried, none worked.

I love these! Instead of a frustrating 20 minutes trying to get the right wires in the right holes, you can strip your cable to 6" or so and just feed them in one by one. I think it's much easier pushing them through singly, you can do them together and save a bit of cable, but for me the simplicity is worth the waste of the cut off wires!The only thing is to be careful wimming the wires to length that you get a nice clean accurate cut to ensure you don't short out adjacent conductors. I use a very sharp knife and have had 100% success with them.

I have used many brands of glass ends being a network engineer and these are one of the better ones I have used. Great price and a nice container to keep them from flying everywhere. They crimp well and the pass through holes are to spec

I've crimped 10 or so connections with these so far, and it has been nothing but failure. No connection, bridged connections, and half the wires all being one pin ahead. Using a different set, I got a perfect crimp the first time, twice in a row. No need to redo.The little plastic jar makes it look nice, and the loose rounded-square-esque holes make it easy to use when passing wires through, but then they are too free to pass into another slot, or simply not get good contact from the pins because the wires are off center.No matter how cheap these get, don't buy them. They just don't work.
