RJ45 Cat5 Cat5e Pass Through Connectors Pack of 200 | EZ Crimp Connector UTP Network Unshielded Plug for Twisted Pair Solid Wire & Standard Cables | Transparent Passthrough Ethernet Insert

REVISION: The initial poor review (below) was 100% due to my error. The connectors DO work well. The pass-through design is WONDERFUL.My error: I got lazy building Cat 5 cables and didn't always bother with the 'crossover protocol' and simply went with pairs of matching color wires on both ends of the cable. THAT DOES NOT WORK WITH CAT 6 WIRE as I discovered after wasting a few hours thinking it was me, my crimps, the plug design, etc.In short, be sure to follow the recommended wire color order (which involves a 'cross over' of the blue and green wires). I finally did as I should have done all along, and voila! We have excellent connectivity.-------------- INITIAL REVIEW FOLLOWS ----------These plugs made it impossible to get a good connection when plugged in to the router/switch/pc on one end, and the other devices (cameras) on the other end.We built 6 cables (12 - 14 ends) for a camera system. Not one cable successfully brought the camera online. We cut off a few ends in case it was my fab error. It was not. .I've used other pass-thru RJ-45 plugs that were a joy to work with. The pass-thru idea is wonderful and can give high degree of confidence that the wires are (1) fully inserted, and (2) entered the correct channel for each color.I am not a down-grader normally, but these couldn't earn more stars than I've awarded.PRO TIP: be sure to leave extra wire length to work with and 'comb out' straight. Then, pull them all the way until your rubber outer coating is deeply embedded into the end so the clamping action really grips well and gives you good strain relief.

I had purchased these along with a new crimp tool for an upcoming project and opted to use what was included with the crimp tool first, and what a mistake that was. While I could test cable ends, it was far too difficult to get the wires fed to even crimp. I ended up having to redo every end after doing a test patch and finding my tester showed much brighter LED output on each wire test. The previous ones had a continuity that ended up bringing the router down. These were stupid easy to work with and everything tested 100% without issues. Inexpensive, but fantastic in function.

Fit and works perfect for a cat5e

I ordered some connectors from a reputable name I'm tools and had many issues on installing them on the Invincible Cable Cat6 Plenum cables. Most of the time the wires will not feed through. I ordered these, and I would say 99% of the connectors, I was able to feed the wires through with no problems. The other 1%, there was some plastic in the way. Used the Klein tool to crimp the cable ends on and had no failures.

Worked great using Klein crimper with cat5e.

In terms of pushing the wires through, other cheaper version don't work as well and get caught. This one, less likely. Make over 200 cables with multiple purchases, only a few issues (or need to test the cables).

Good quality, ran new Ethernet throughout my home along with Poe cameras, all of the jacks spear have worked perfectly fine, the pass makes it nice and easy to wire it up just right so when you clamp it’s on the sleeve.

These through-connectors work well. The internal wire guides nicely separate the wires and channel them to the correct pins. If a wire is mis-routed, it's easy to see and correct prior to crimping. Connectors fit correctly into switch/router ethernet ports. Definitely worth looking at. BobM
