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

Make sure you get the right type - Cat6 vs Cat6a - there is a difference. Nice quick and easy with the full pass through, cables tested well after - at least those where I didnt screw up the wire order ;)

Bought these to go with True Cables clear cut to fit strain relief boots. So far I haven't had any bad terminations with 23awg cable. The boots thankfully fit inside with ease as the cable itself is a cat6a shielded riser cable that measures a smidge over 7mm thick. The outer cable sleeve will not fit inside but that is alright since the strain relief boots locks inside the plugs and I would rather have the shielded foil of the cable to fit snug inside.

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.

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.

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.

Awesome!

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.
