100-Pack PETECHTOOL RJ45 Cat5/Cat5e Gold Plated 8P8C UTP Ethernet Network Pass Through Connectors

Ramjet: I just love using these pass-through RJ45 connectors, they make network cable assembly so much easier. You do need a special crimping tool, but it's worth it. Quick delivery by the seller, really good price.

neal fildes: I have graduated to thru-type connectors, I have some spools of cable with thicker wires and some thinner. This went into my toolklit for the thinner wires and works great so far. for less fuss I recommend matching the connector with the cable based on the conductor dimensions for more satisfaction

Mr.GMr.G: During this hardship time due to covid19, it is hard to find someone to do your network wiring at home for home school. So I decided to do my own DIY network wiring around the house and also to my extended families.

This connectors are great for DIY jobs, this connectors really makes your connection a snap and save time.

SAChapman: So these do make it easier to make sure you have your ethernet wires in the right order in the connector. I've done non-pass-thru connectors for years, and it does take some care to make sure that you have the wires in there correctly. Pass-thru connectors make that easier and make it easier to fully seat the cable correctly so the outer jacket gets crimped because the amount that you have to strip is much less precise.

But you really do need the special crimper that trims off the protruding wires while crimping it. Trying to do it manually would be almost as annoying, and much less effective, than simply having the correct tool. There are multiple such tools available on Amazon of course, and if you're just getting started crimping Ethernet cables, I'd suggest getting one of those and standardizing on pass-through ends.

However, it does appear that these aren't completely gold plated. Functionally, I don't know that that's a real problem, but all my previous ends have been fully gold-plated.

Rich: These connectors are easy to use and provide a solid connection. I used an older crimp tool meant for the older non-pass-thru style connectors. That older crimp tool worked fine. I just snipped off the ends of the wires as they exit the connector after using the old style crimp tool. No problem. A new crimp tool would have cost more than the connectors. Anyway, I had no fails with these connectors.The pass thru feature makes it really easy to make sure that the correct colors of the wires go into the correct openings/slots in the connector.

I used them with Cat 5e cabling. They worked perfectly. I had a bit of Cat6 cabling and tried using them with that. Not surprisingly, the OD of the Cat6 wires (with insulation) is too big for these connectors. So make sure you order the right connectors for the cabling you will be using. Maybe you will need two different sizes of connectors?
