ITBEBE 100/100 RJ45 Cat6 Cat6a Pass Through Connectors for 23 AWG Cables - 100 Cat6 Passthrough Connector Ends and 100 Clear Strain Relief Boots for Clean, snag-Free Ethernet Patch Cord

I've had problems with a lot of brands of connectors, but these work great with 23awg cat6. The only issue I've had is with the boot... it's just a hair too small to slide over a gel-filled direct burial cable, but that was a temp connection that will be punched down into a patch panel in the future anyway, and the plug still terminated on the cable just fine.I use these with Klein passthrough crimper/cutter and have had few to no failed crimps out of dozens used.

bought for a project that is on hold, i'm sure they are fine, good price, if they fail will update review

A must have if you do any type of custom Ethernet Cable runs. I've used this same brand for years at work. I must have made 1000s of cables. The only time the cable failed after testing was because the proper wiring sequence wasn't followed. It never failed because of the connector. The pass trough makes it so much more unproblematic to see that your wires are in the correct order, and if the wires are sticking out, it's long enough. Many fails from other types where the wires must bump up to the back wall inside. Multi-color boots make identifying cables easy and helps save the cable as well. Hint: Purchase a Pass Through RJ45 crimper as well, saves time trimming excess wire.

Installed a handful of these connectors and thought everything was good until a couple of days later when I started having intermittent connectivity. I remade some connectors just in case, but still no dice. Finally, I inspected the connectors closely and noticed that the gold colored contacts on the bottom of the connector aren't at the end of the connector like you'd expect with any other RJ45 connector. On every connector, the contacts are 1/16-1/8 inch from the end of the connector. This is causing intermittent connections and with every connector looking that way, I need to replace all my ends with new connectors. I guess I got what I paid for, back to the namebrand for me.

The media could not be loaded.  The RJ45's are perfect for 23awg Cat6. I have had zero failures in over 50 terminations. I have used other brands that I purchased from Amazon and have had nothing but problems with terminations. These are what you want if you are using 23awg Cat6. Very easy to work with for a fast and quality termination.The strain boots are a perfect fit and makes this combo pack a great value. I would recommend buying the combo over just the RJ45 connectors based on value alone.

Good value for the combination of the jacks and boots together. The pass through jacks work great, easy to pass through the heavier CAT6 cables and keep twisted closer to the jack. I’ve used on both solid and stranded cable, both worked good. Pass through is the way to go, though you do need a special crimper unless you want to manually trim the ends.

I used a bunch of these for routing new cable for my house. Really easy to use and I really like the stress relief connectors.

Love the push through. First one was wrong due to my error. Made dozens with these. I love the strain relief. Not only makes it look professional but actually works. Hint: push through module, place in crimper, trim wire, pull back slightly, crimp.

I have been involved with computers and networks for over forty years. I have terminated hundreds of RJ45 plugs on Cat 5 thru Cat 7 cables. My "success rate" is in the order of 97-98%. Until I used these RJ-45 Plugs! I do like the "feed-thru" connectors and have used them for the last several years. However, these connectors will not be my "go-to!" I have made six patch cables using Cat 6 cable. On one of these connectors one of the pins fell out of the connector even before the conductors were inserted into the plug. On at least two - maybe three - the initial crimp left one or two leads open. I had to re-crimp with a different crimp tool to establish continuity. On two plugs I was unable to insert a conductor thru the plug (23 ga. wire). I had to strip the insulation to get the conductor thru the plug and then exert a significant force with pliers to pull the insulated part of the conductor thru. These plugs come with a strain relief. When using Cat 6 with the internal spine I was unable to insert the strain relief into the plug because the Cat 6 took up too much room in the plug. Before writing this I tried two 2 meter patch cables. Both failed - one connector showed a 5-6 (WBl to Green in T568B) short. A second connector was open in pin 7 (WBr) but the conductor was firmly held in place. I have not experienced any of these problems with other RJ45 plugs that I have used in the past. I have ordered better quality RJ45 feed-thru plugs.

The RJ45 connectors are fine, and work well for 23AWG Cat6a cable.The boots, however, are meant for thinner cable (they are unusable for 23AWG cable) and I have no idea why they were bundled with the connectors.The connectors probably won't work with thinner cable, BTW. Not happy having two incompatible but related items bundled together.

Due to the distance from the crimped ends to where you have to strip the wire, when tests are completed it causes a short because the copper wire touch when crimped as there’s no guiding clips to ensure they don’t touch.

I have used this brand of connectors for a couple of years and have monitored their efficiency. I have not noticed any issues with their use. Good solid product.

This is good for UTP (Unshielded Twisted Paire) CAT6 cables which are less thick versus the STP CAT6.YOU WILL HAVE A BIG HARD TIME IF YOU TRYING TO USE BLUE BACK-END COVERS FOR STP CAT6 CABLES
