Cable Matters 20-Pack 23-24AWG Shielded Cat8 RJ45 Pass Through Connector

When I bought a 500' wooden spool of outdoor rated, shielded cat 6A ethernet cable, I was sure I would only be able to terminate using keystones, surface mount boxes or field termination plugs. Never dreamed I could use any sort of pass-through connector, but these guys work without much issue and my Klein VDV226-110 crimper fits them. There are some minor issues specifically having to do with difficulty getting individual wires to pass thru easily which is why I assume the load bars are included (found they didn't seem to help me, but YMMV). Only other issue is lack of metal on the inside for contact with the ground wire necessitating use of the attached ground loop which I hate (but isn't specific to this brand). Neither issue is sever enough to warrant any subtraction of stars. Overall, these termination connectors are a good value, and I have purchased an additional 20 pak after using up the first very quickly.

I bought some non-modular cat-8 plugs and cut several connections off after they failed with my tester. These plugs saved my sanity. They're awesome. 👍 👌 Also, if you notice, there's a ground test in my video... don't cut all of the shield off... wrap it with your ground wire and secure it to the outside insulation with foil tape before you crimp. Cat-8 is fast, but you need that ground for noise isolation. Use a switch with good surge suppression to keep lightening out of your electronics. I hope it helps somebody! 💯

These have worked great for me. They are easy to use with the wire guide and simple to confirm you have the wires in the correct order.

Nice construction. Still hard to keep wires straight while pushing the sled in but that's a matter of experience. The strain relief slides off of some cables. Also I think it should include 30 or 40 for this price.

These connectors are supposed to be RJ45 connectors for Ethernet ports. They don't fit. I thought it be one or two that could be a manufacturing defect but all 5 I tested were too big. Very poor quality and not compatible with standard RJ45 ports. Impossible to install.

These get the job done, but are not super easy to install nor provide any special features. They are at best average from a functional standpoint. Where the Excel is, they are relatively inexpensive.

The price you can't beat it it's a good product

Me gusto

Excellent product. Shielded, excellent for cat6

Un producto que cumple con lo esperado. Lo use para hacer un cable de 30 metros y con cable utp cat 8 reforzado y los conectores no tuvieron problema para perforar los alambres. Como extra compre la cripadora qué recomienda el mismo fabricante y no tuve ninguna complicación. Lo seguiré usando para más cables qué tengo que armar ya que estos conectores facilitan mucho el armado.

Buenos conectores

Niet te krimpen met een knipex tang dus onbruikbaar. Krimpt op de verkeerde plaats. Nog nooit voorgehad met andere dus… vuilbakvulling.

Ça a toujours été compliqué d'attacher des câbles sur un connecteur, ceci dit je ne vois pas pourquoi j'en tiendrai compte dans la note car ce n'est pas propre au produit. Le produit est qualitatif, ca marche bien, et le débit de la Cat8 passe. C'est bien!
