Cable Matters 100-Pack Cat 6A Shielded Pass Through RJ45 Connectors (Cat 6A Ends / Cat6A Connector / RJ45 Modular Plugs/Ethernet Plugs/Network Connector) for Solid or Stranded S/FTP Ethernet Cable

Built a 10Gig network with these and Cat6A cable, where grounded outlets were required. A bit of work to terminate properly but they work great.

Awesome!

I had 6 back-to-back fails using these connectors. I was installing using new hardware so I assumed there was something wrong with the hardware until I used another brand of connectors and had zero issues. I’m fortunate that I caught it after only 6 connectors and not an entire install’s worth. I was using TrueCable Cat 6A (indoor riser non-plenum) so maybe it’s not an issue with other cable, but fail after fail after fail even with the cleanest pristine wiring and crimping where I was really taking my time to make it perfect. On the other hand, I haven’t had an issue with this Cat6A using any other brand connector yet including the cheap connectors that come with the crimper.

They work fine, but are just too small for shielded cat6a cable, so there is a gap where the sheathing won't fit in.

I have been getting into network installs more and more as I get experience with it. I have done two friends houses. Learned something from each one. I was use to the non-passthrough as I didn't think it would be any different than the passthrough. These were actually very easy to use. It took a few tries to see how these go through, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy to terminate one cable after another. These are very solid and I am very happy that I was able to use something that felt sturdy and would last a very long time.

Shielding seems adequate, and terminating isn't any more difficult than others. Price is reasonable and this brand is reasonably reputable.However, these don't fit very well into several different jack types I've tried them with, the width of them is slightly too great and I have to push them into the jack with more force than should be necessary. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep using them or not. YMMV.

I bought this name brand after hearing some of the cheapest ones had tolerance issues fitting into ports. These have made CAT 6 UTP wiring very easy, paired with a through-plug style ethernet crimper that cuts off the excess. I'm doing 23awg solid copper with no issues! I can't say if 6a/7/8 will fit, with their larger shielding.It's worth it getting these rather than fumbling with the old kind.

The clips are of great quality and easy to terminate with the pass through. Makes the work easy and fast
