CableCreation Cat6 RJ45 Pass Through Connectors, 100-Pack Cat6/Cat5e Gold Plated Modular Plug Unshielded Crimp Connector for Solid or Stranded UTP Ethernet Cable

This review is for the CAT6A connectors. I recently ran out of connectors in the middle of adding a couple 24 port switches to my home network. There are lots of garbage connectors out there. Lots of pass thru connectors but I’ve never liked them and if you care about connection speed they aren’t an option. After a couple hours of research these seemed like the best bet. Turns out I made a good choice. These are great connectors. I have not had any issues with them whatsoever. Some reviews mentioned the tabs not locking. I did a pull test on the patch panel and one of the switches and the stayed in place. The patch panel and the RJ45 port on the switch flexed but the connector stayed connected. I have to assume the complaint was a different model connector or a bad batch. I didn’t hear a ‘click’ but some connectors don’t ’click’. I use 23AWG CAT6 and they crimped well and they held the cable in place securely. I suspect the reviews complaining about the connectors not holding the cable securely and crimping issues were from people using CAT5 and possibly a low quality crimp tool. I checked a few cables with iperf and was able to get 2.39gb over 2.5g ports. One thing to note is that since there is no metal shield for the connector they aren’t really CAT6A connectors. They work as expected and the price was right. I’d buy them again.

These are the best and easiest ethernet connectors I have used. They work great with Klein tools and have let the full speed of CAT6 cable through in my tests up to my longest test at 100FT.

Most end users this may not apply to, but to the extreme user this may. I terminated mutltiple drops in a channel config (tip to tip connectors), and a few with tips on the station side and a quality patch panel on the distribution side. These were attached to commscope cat 6 plenum rated wire. Each of these drops (cables) were tested using a Fluke Networks Lvl III Cable Analyzer. Using the industry standard of near end cross talk (next) as a point of measurement for termination quality these tested quite well. The lowest I got was 11.8 db margin with most in the range of 17-18 db. These mod tips perform quite well. Should be noted a few had to be redone to achieve these numbers, but this is a installer issue. Stepped on a few and beat on a few to see if they would shatter or deform easily. These mod tips didn't even skip a heartbeat. Pros: Exceptional value for price. Test and perform exceptionally well. Resealable pack that can survive a tool bag. Gold plated conductors. Proper dimensions, no sloppy fit to jack. Cons: I call it snap plastic that everyone uses to make mod tips. This causes the clips to break off very easily. Note, I did NOT have any that did. But after crimping I had to pull the clip backwards to give it memory again. Each time worried the clip would snap off. Each cable was done with a strain boot to protect the termination. This is NOT per se a bad mark on the manufacturer, just a general market item. There are a few out there that use a significantly different plastic formula. But these are rare and hard to find. Note, I rate all mod tips that do not have enhanced clips the same, but again these are rare and hard to find. It is just a honest opinion. The "snap" plastic is the industry standard, and in no way should reflect this brand name or manufacturer.

My first ever three piece suit! Let me tell you, I grabbed these out of the bag and I’m greeted with two smaller bags of plastic pieces. This caused me an incredible amount of confusion because I didn’t fully read what I was purchasing. My mistake! After looking at the directions these actually turned out to be pretty easy to use. Step 1. Strip the wire as you normally would. DO NOT unbundle the strands. Step 2. Insert smaller plastic pieces over the wires. Orange/WhiteOrange and Brown/WhiteBrown go into the plastic insert. Green/WhiteGreen and Blue/WhiteBlue go into the vertical space in the middle. Step 3. Place wires in T-568B standard because you’re not a criminal. Step 4. Trim excess wire with flush cutters Step 5. Crimp plastic end Step 6. Profit? I complained about these super hard when I first started using it but now it makes sense. Quality is solid because I threw one in a fit of anger due to my lack of ability to read properly. When used properly, these are rock solid! Will be using these in the future. For my latest project I ended up crimping 30 ends and 29 worked perfectly! The first one I did was awful and my fault.

Rally good fits perfectly and transparent and open front best design

Comes in a lovely packet, they are A class quality. Just made some cables, for the virgin media box and ps5 super fast, thought it would max out at 100mb but went upto 500 plus (max net speed i have)

Good but not through connectors

Great quality.
