RJ45 Cat5 Cat6 Connector Pass Through RJ45 Ends for Solid Wire and Standard UTP Network Cables 100-Pack

OK, they work and like all j-45's make sure you have the tool to install the connectors to the wires.

PRO: It's easy to get the wires right BEFORE crimping with these. They crimp like any other RJ connector.CON: There' s tiny lip on the front that makes trimming the wires flush difficult. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD FLUSH CUT CUTTERS with these. Cheap cutters and it won't trim close enough and the connectors won't clip into the socket.

I have been doing electronics for 50 years. I know how to do CAT5. These ends have flaws between pins 5&6. Wire moves freely between them. Lots of shorts and crossovers from bad connectors. Wasted many hours of my time. What I got was pure junk.

I generally never review products. But here in this case I want to review it so others dont make the same mistake I did.These connectors are fine, well made etc, but the issue I ran into was that I tried to crimp them using the crimping tool I have used with the non pass through connectors. These pass through connectors have a tab, that tab has to be cut along with the wires to be able to plug into a RJ45 jack. The regular crimping tool doesn't cut that tab out and so you have to figure a way to cut the tab besides cutting the wires.I havent bought a crimping tool and will think about getting a different crimping tool. Nothing wrong with the connectors themselves.

Works great, easy to use

muy practico, no hay forma de equivocarte

Bought these with the crimping tool. It was easy to use on a cable that stopped working because the end that fit into my computer finally gave up from bending to much for too long. I also had several other cables that needed to be repaired and they were easy to fix and get working again. I used to just by a new cable but now I can fix them and save lots of money. I've always liked to repair things rather then put them in the trash and this works really well for me.

I was looking for inexpensive RJ45 pass-trough cable ends that would work with my older Ideal Telemaster crimp tool. At the price point they are selling these for it was worth purchasing them and trying them with my crimp tool. To my satisfaction they worked perfectly. The cable ends securely hold the cable in place once crimped. The 'prongs' that pierce the cable insulation during crimping easily pierced each of the 8 wires and made a positive connection. As with any cable I make, I test each for continuity, open, shorted and crossed wire pairs. If you have a crimp tool like my older Telemaster that does not cut off the excess wire that passes through the plug end you will need a pair of sharp flush cut wire cutters to clean up the ends before you will be able to test and use the cables you make.
