iGreelyShielded Cat6 RJ45 Connectors - 50-Pack Gold Plated RJ45 Cat6/Cat5E/Cat5 8P8C 50 Micron 50u 3 Prong FTP STP Ethernet Cable Crimp Modular Plug

These are great CAT 6 connectors. First thing to know is they are not pass through connectors. This means they need to be cut accurately. They need to be cut straight across while having a slight fan shape. They need to be cut at the right length to have the wire sleeve under the rear crimp and all the wires right in the end of the tubes, no gaps. This means there is a bit of a trial and error process till you can get every wire snugly in the end of their tubes before crimping. I did not realize this about these when I got them but gave it a try anyway. Once I got good at it, the final product is excellent. Super-duper sturdy connections. Rock solid. Even after a cable being almost ripped out of the plug they hold fast. Unlike the two peice and pass through connectors I have used before which feel flimsy in comparison. They also crimp 100% on the first squeeze no need to repeat like the looser feeling connectors. I highly recommend. I even make high quality cables for my friends and co-workers at custom lengths for gifts using these connectors. Make sure you have a good pair of end snips to nail the length cut and you will love these.

To be honest I didn't need shielded cable or connectors as I'm running this in my house and frankly, I don't have a high voltage 2.2MW generator in my garden. The EMF likely to be encountered is so low as to be non existent in a house. To be honest even on HV diesel-electric offshore construction ships that could power a large town or small city we don't normally bother with the high end stuff unless on critical control systems.However, given that it's a small fractional difference in price to buy shielded Cat6 and connectors and the job of running the stuff is the same, it makes sense to buy better. So I did.First off, fitting Cat5/6/7/8 connectors is easy - once you have had a bit of practice. I've made loads of them for myself and when working offshore and have my own technique that seems to ensure that the vast amount of connectors I make work. I get the odd duff one but that's to be expected and the way forward is to simply cut it off, forget about it and make another end.These connectors - despite the very reasonable price - are well made, work as well as any other I've come across and have no more failures in termination than I make on average. Any bad connections are entirely down to my own ineptitude not the connector.I used this with Cat6 shielded which, is fine and then some for a house. Cat7 isn't a standard and means nothing and Cat8 which, is IEEE rated is not needed in a house so not worth the extra expense.Overall, a very good and very well priced set of connectors.

Les fils des câbles de CAT6 FTP arrivent très difficilement à rentrer dans le connecteur. Fonctionne par contre sans problème pour du 5e.

I have been struggling to crimp some cheap plastic RJ45 connectors, so tried these. They are excellent - the 8 ethernet cable wires slide easily into place, making crimping easy. So far have crimped 5 and all worked perfectly.
