100-Pack RJ45 Cat6 Pass Through Connector RJ45 Modular Plugs for Solid or Stranded UTP Cable

I can't make a better picture than the ad itself, but I can confirm these work great. I still have a few "old fashioned" connectors with a closed end, and I avoid using them - I should just toss them. With these pass-through connectors, it is so easy to strip back the outer jacket, align the wires, trim the wire ends if they are too ragged looking, and slip them into and through this connector. I do watch the wire as they come out the other side, to keep make sure they are still in the right order, and that they all came through cleanly (none bent inside the connector). While my old style were also clear, you couldn't really guarantee that the wires remained in the right order. With the pass through, that's an easy double-check operation. I haven't had a failure, and I don't expect one since I'm terminating each cable once and then plugged it in to a mating connector - and rarely will they be moved after that. So, I can't just the durability, but from what I can tell, the quality is great, and the pass through saves me a lot of time.

Love em!! High quality pass through connectors. Easy to use, easy to wire, and work great. Great deal for the price.

Update - The problem was with my crimper; it was old and cheap, and was originally purchased for making up CAT 3 cables. I updated to a new, but still cheap, crimper and now these connectors now work like a charm. ---------------------------------------------------------- As others have noted, these produced a poor crimp as compared to other connectors with many connections left open. These connectors also do not click in properly and so cables terminated with these pull loose very easily.

These have worked for my application but honestly I had to recrimp some ends when using old cat 5e cable. They tested good after another squeeze on the crimper. It was a good value to buy this set. And handy to have in a container. The clickies seem good, none of them have broken yet, seem durable.

Had issues at some facilities with their ethernet cables eaten by mice. Creating multiple cables the old fashion way was taking up too much time for me. Having this option to utilize the 'pass through' technology, not only have me create cables fasted but more accurately. I had less failures using the 'pass through' types than the other types. Having purchase this 100 pack gave me more chances in the event I had issues. I will say this, out of 30 connections. I had 4 errors compared to about 8 the other way.

Bought these because they were cheap, but this is one case where the quality matched the price. These are poor quality compression connectors. Used them on solid Belden CAT6 cable. While the terminations look like they set when compressed, they rarely pass even basic pair testing. Tried different tools. Tried different testers. Same result. I can't visibly see why when inspecting them, but it was an incredibly high open failure rate. After going through a few dozen trying to get 6 cables to pass, we gave up on them and threw the remaining in the trash. Came back with a different, better quality brand, worked flawlessly. Other have had similar experiences, take heed in our warning.

Plugs are perfect for CAT5 or CAT6. The pass thru ability is great to save time on trimming. Use the proper tool to trim the ends for ease of installation.

These work perfect, they save so much time, but it's kinda hard to cut up against the edge where they pass through

Good quality. never had issues from this seller

It's very good 👍

Well, there isn't a whole lot to say about these RJ45 connectors expect they appear to be well-constructed and work as expected without issues. Note that crimping tools capable of working with past-through connectors are needed; non pass-through capable crimper won't work with these connectors. These have gold-plated contacts and the latch is indeed bendable up to around 160°-170° (180° is a bit of stretch, really). They have 3-prong tip as opposed to 2-prong counterparts, which is decent. These are to be used with 24/26 AWG solid core wires with up to 1.1mm in diameter. I've never care to measure those and they should work for most, if not all, of the commonly available Cat 5/6 cables though. ✘ Btw, the bag they come in is NOT resealable; I mean, what the heck? I should also mention that there is a reason (and a critical one at that) why these wires are twisted and they should never be straightened or untwisted more/longer than necessary to minimize interference. ≡ Value All things considered, these are decent RJ45 connectors (rated for Cat 6, 24/26 AWG wires, up to 1.1mm in diameter) that seem reasonably well-constructed and work as expected without issues. They are reasonably priced at $10 (for a 50-pack) for what they provide and their overall build quality, usability, versatility, and performance.

easy to crimp to network cable, quality of item was good

Pins do not make contact when crimping. Center two pins do not fully pierce cables. Connector flexes before the pins extend. DO NOT BUY
