Everest Media Solutions RJ45 Cat6/6a Pass Through Connectors for a Thick 23 AWG Large Diameter UTP Network Cable, 200 Pcs | Insert Guides Included

I have a thicker cat6 and another 'standard' cat6 connector I bought did not work - the holes in the connector were way too small and I could not pass the wires through.This one was perfect. I also liked the spacers that were packed with the connectors - it made the process so much easier and fool proof.I attached 6 connectors and they all worked on the first attempt.

These pass through connectors fit the larger diameter cable pictured above from TrueCable. The other pass through connectors I purchased from others did not fit without butchering the terminations and eating up a lot of time. These also fit the smaller diameter direct burial from the same company.I am using these with the Klein Tools VDV226-110 pass thru crimpers. The trim on crimp function works typically but occasionally I will have to twist off pin 1 or 8 if it does not completely sever the excess wire. This is no big deal as its usually a quick pull to remove the already cut conductor.

Worked well for my needs, replacing other RJ45 with sleds that failed.

I ordered these about 10 months ago and just got into using them and was having all kinds of problems. Turns out the pass through holes were too large for the cat6 cable I had and the pins would miss the core of the wire causing a failed connection. I contacted the seller to see if they could help me out and they went above and beyond my expectations! The seller refunded my purchase, even though it was almost a year ago, and sent me a new pack of connectors with smaller holes (same as the ones that came with my crimp tool) so they should work perfectly. I will definitely order from Everest Media Solutions again! I attached a picture showing the different size holes. The one on the left is the replacement and the one on the right is the one I had ordered. Thank you for the great customer service!

works perfect

I agree with the other reviews that this product is much less reliable than other Cat6 RJ-45 connectors that I've tried. I also had the difficulty with the #1 wire not being cut off during the crimping process, but that wasn't even the real problem, as you are able to easily twist it off during crimping...it just won't drop off as it should. The real problem for me was my inability to get a good test (for me, it was usually on the #3 or #5 wire) making it necessary for me to keep trying by starting over, wasting a lot of time. I would also comment on the "collars" that are included with this type. I had not used those before. I tried using the couple with and without the "collar" piece, but that did not solve my problems described above. The collars help with the insertion process but I do not see the collar as necessary once the crimp has occurred. In the photo above, the wire on the left has a collar, the wire on the right does not. Either way, I would recommend a different brand.

I should start by specifying that i used to work for a cabling company about 15 years ago...i am saying this to say i know what i am talking about, but i am quite a bit out of experience,so maybe i lost track of times from when i used to pull CAT5e lines.I bought these to wire up a small home i recently bought, where the rooms were connected with standard old school CAT5 cables, and i decided to upgrade to CAT6A to reduce our reliance on WiFi, and stumbled upon this innovation called:PASS THROUGH CONNECTORSi had never used them before, so bear in mind, maybe i am confused on how they are supposed to work....i tried to do em the old fashioned way:i Stripped the Cable, unwound the pairs, cut out the winding separator, stretched the wires out with my fingers, placed them in the correct order, cut them evenly, and inserted them together....Back when i used to do cabling, it was that easy because each wire was soon guided into it's rightful spot by a groove that held it centered until it entered the hole, but with these...SURPRISE!there are no guide grooves, and the holes begin only where the contacts are, meaning you have to make sure the wires stay together in order straight for quite a long way, then it gets to the pass through holes and... THIS IS WHERE I GET CONFUSED:!!! the Holes are not side by side !!! rather they are staggered, so you have to HOPE, the wires decide to pick the right entrance.......Push though the First time... i see the wires come outi am missing the White/Green wirePull back out, try to stretch them a bit moreand insert again... i see the wires coming outthe Orange and Blue Wire swapped positionPull back out, stretch them out again, re-cut the ends evenlyand insert the wires again...Orange got stuck inside and White/Brown took its placePull back out, re-strip a bit more, re-cut the ends evenlyand insert wires again...Brown and White/Brown swapped positionPull back out again, stretch them outand insert them again...the White/Brown did not come out at allpull out again, stretch them again,and insert again...MIRACULOUSLY this time they came out good.NOW FOR THE NICE PARTthe Pass Through Design, allows to pull the Wires in more, removing any extra you may not want,and most importantly, it pulls the Cable all the way into the Connector.Once you get to this stage, and Crimp... THEY ALL WORKED AT THE FIRST SHOTno issues with missed contacts, or nothing like that...to be fairThe Connectors are supplied with a series of small wire holders (Load Bars to be specific), where you can insert the wires in the correct pattern easily, and then you insert the Load Bar with the wires inside in into the connector, which makes the insertion a whole lot easier and assure each wire enters the correct position .The issue is that this Wire Holder remains inside the connector, and so the whole Cable won't be able to go in as far into the Connector itself, with the result that when you crimp, the Cable isn't held as tightly as i normally like.All and all, i'd say that having to re-insert each cable a minimum of 3 times, is quite frustrating,but i did enjoy the fact i was able to easily see the wires that went through to check the correct order,and most importantly: every crimp was a success.So despite the frustration,these connectors deserve at least 3 StarsThere is no doubt that they work, i just don't understand the reason behind the weird Staggered Holes design

great RJ45 Cat6/6a Pass Through Connectors Pack I have tried.very easy to use and works at the first try avoiding waste of time

Worked for the stranded wire I needed it for.

Work well on thicker cable

I have a cat6, cat6a, cat7 cable non of them work on this badly designed rj45 and I can say it’s the worst I have bought. Total waste of money and that’s an honest opinion.

These ends are garbage. Waste of time to keep replacing and cable failures and found out becuse of them. Do not buy and get a huge pain.
