VCELINK Cat7 Cat6A RJ45 Pass Through Connectors Shielded 30-Pack, 3-Prong Gold Plated Modular Plug Ethernet Ends with Strain Relief Boots (Black)

Work good

I've terminated 5,000 feet of Cat6A in a new house build and used Tool Free connectors for most of my connections. That said, there are a few runs that needed traditional style terminations due to location restrictions (POE doorbell for example). Well I've tried a lot of different terminations and this set proved to be the best at terminating TrueCable Cat6A Plenum Shielded Cable. I've used several VCELiNLK terminations (Tool Free and these) and I have no hesitation recommending them. I will be using the VCELiNK terminations exclusively moving forward.

These connectors (RJ45 type) configured to accept and work with the larger diameter CAT6 and CAT7 individual solid diameter cables are a reasonable value. It is important to understand the term "pass through". This because when you open the outer jacket of the bundled cable, separate out the individual cable inside in either the "A" or "B" configuration on both ends, and slide them into these connectors (making certain that you slide on the provided cable protector boot first), the wires will pass through and protrude (stick out of) out the end of the connector. This is by design and intended BUT you must have the correct connector compression tool designed to flush cut off the ends while compressing the connection ends.Not having that specific type of tool on hand will both spoil your work day and stop the process. That is unless you have a precise cutter to flush cut the connection ends.Good kit with reasonably well made connectors that provide very good cover and noise suppression for these able and connectors.

Easy to use if you are careful to make sure the wires stay in place while crimping.

No complaints

Pros - When all pins are present after crimping, they work well, are sturdy, and consistent in testing. the boot is nice and the plastic on it allows for easy use thats soft on the fingers compared to other boots.Cons - They were quite the pain to get the pinout of the cabling put in right. then, i terminated about 24 different ends and out of those, 5 of them were missing a pin. had to sacrifce a connector to get these fixed. 3 stars. almost 1 if i kept finding missing pins.

Waste of time and money.I've tried a few of them on CAT6a and CAT7 cables and they just don't work well.for comparison, I've tried other connectors with the same crimp tool and the other ones worked well.

I tried a different brand and transmission was orrible, I thought it was the cable or possible electromagnetic interference in the wall with the electric cables, but these connectors solved the problem.
