PETECHTOOL20 Pack RJ45 Cat6a Cat6 Connector for 23 AWG Gold Plated 8P8C Pass Through Shielded Modular Ends Plug

Great for CAT6 connection. Good join every time. Will not work for CAT5

Really easy installation if you have the right tools.

Works as advertised, cheap and easy to use, remember that it only works with 23 AWG, it won't work reliably with anything smaller (tried it with 24AWG and it didn't work)

These are fantastic RJ45 connectors, and to date I've achieved 100% success when using them.Before buying these, I'd stupidly (lazily!) tried some crimp-free RJ45 connectors that were absolutely useless with 23 AWG solid copper CAT 6 cable. They had a near total failure rate due to their poor design, and were (relatively speaking) stupidly expensive.So, I bought a set of these connectors, because I had wires poking out of walls, and wanted some connectors that might actually work and with a high success rate (there wasn't that much cable poking out of the walls!)These are superb.It is actually impossible to go wrong with them, if you take a bit of time and follow a few simple steps.Firstly, don't forget to buy strain-relief boots, and then don't forget to put them on the cable before fixing the connectors (I know you know not to forget this, but everyone does at some point.)Then, strip and straighten the wires, untwisting the pairs to make nice straight conductors. Arrange them in order, and while holding them flat between thumb and finger, cut them at 45 degrees. This will make it easy to push them through the connector.Push them through the connector, and make sure that they are (a) in the correct order, and (b) all the way through. The nice thing about (a) here is that the solid colours are separated from the stripes due to the offset holes, which accommodate the 23 AWG wires perfectly. This makes it a cinch to check the ordering before crimping.Then crimp using a decent through crimping tool which also trims the cable.If you follow this simple recipe, then you will never have a bad crimp. Seriously, I have yet to have one of these fail, and I've been sticking them on patch and in-wall cables throughout my house.Without doubt, crimping an RJ45 connector has never been easier, and I recommend these without any hint of reservation.They're brilliant.

Used on 23awg pure copper cable..some fitted other no.... holes in plug smaller had to feed each data wire into the plug one at a time ... right hand side "brown wire " that hole very thight... orange easy

Despite them claiming larger diameter I couldn't fit my cat6a cable through the connectors. I tried to just pass a single strand to check and it kept getting stuck. It would of been far easier to have designed them with a removable guide. I can't use any of these connections and unfortunately past the return window as had building works going on. If you want to buy them try them soon as they come so you can return.

Quality connector, sound termination every time when using the correct tool.

Now, I've made hundreds of Cat5/6 cables and for the most part they have been fine. However, now and again I've managed to cross over a wire meaning I have to remake the plug. It's easy to make that mistake and not always easy to spot, even if you have a clear plug, especially if like me you are at an age when every close up operation requires reading glasses...So, I bought these plugs for one reason. It's easy to check the order in which the wires are inserted because you can pull a good length through and check them to make sure you have inserted them correctly.Once you have done this and are happy then you can cut the cables to the correct length. And, what I found was the best way to do this was to cut them close as possible to the plug then gently pull the cable back just enough to sink past the end of the crimp so as to ensure that there is no touching of bare ends.Crimp, test and use. Easy peasy.Overall, a decent quality plug for the money.
