Cable Matters 50-Pack Cat 6 Pass Through RJ45 Connectors, 50µ Gold Plated

When you're working with ethernet cables, having quality connectors makes all the difference between a job that goes smoothly and one that's frustrating and wasteful. These Cable Matters connectors are the real deal – they're well-made, reliable, and designed to work perfectly with pass-through crimping tools. The pass-through design is what sets these apart from standard connectors. Instead of having to carefully trim and arrange the wires inside a closed connector, you can feed them all the way through, making sure everything's lined up correctly before you crimp. This dramatically reduces mistakes and wasted connectors. You can see exactly what you're doing, verify the wire order at a glance, and get consistent results every time. The gold plating on the contacts is a nice touch. That 50 micron gold plating isn't just for show – it provides better conductivity and resistance to corrosion compared to unplated connectors. When you're making cables that need to last and perform reliably, that kind of quality matters. You're not going to have issues with degraded connections or signal problems down the line. These are specifically designed for Cat 6 cable, and they fit perfectly. The sizing is spot on – not too tight where you're forcing the cable in, and not too loose where you don't get a secure connection. They accommodate the proper cable diameter and work smoothly with the crimping process. That proper fit is crucial for maintaining the cable's performance specifications. The build quality is consistently good across the pack. I haven't run into any defective or malformed connectors in the batch. Each one is properly manufactured with clean edges and properly aligned contacts. When you're buying a 100-pack, that consistency is important. You don't want to be sorting through looking for good ones or dealing with failures during installation. Having 100 connectors in a pack is incredibly practical. If you're doing any kind of volume work – whether it's wiring up a building, running cables for a network installation, or just handling multiple projects – you need a good supply of connectors on hand. Running out in the middle of a job is a hassle, and this quantity means you're well-stocked. Even if you're making mistakes or need to redo a few cables, you've got plenty to work with. The connectors work smoothly with standard pass-through crimping tools. The crimping action is clean, and the connectors secure properly without cracking or deforming. You get a solid, professional-looking crimp that's mechanically and electrically sound. The cable stays firmly attached, and the connection is reliable. Performance-wise, these maintain the Cat 6 specifications you need. When you're going to the trouble of using Cat 6 cable, you want connectors that won't be the weak link in your installation. These support the bandwidth and performance requirements without causing signal degradation or interference issues. Your network runs at the speed it should. The clear design is actually helpful. Being able to see the wire arrangement through the connector means you can quickly verify everything's correct even after it's crimped. That visual confirmation is useful for troubleshooting and quality checking your work. It's a small detail that adds practical value. Packaging is straightforward – they come in a container that keeps them organized and protected. You're not dealing with a loose bag where connectors are getting damaged or tangled. The container is resealable, so you can take out what you need and keep the rest in good condition. Value for money is excellent. When you break down the per-connector cost in a 100-pack, you're getting professional quality components at a price that makes sense. Compared to buying smaller quantities or dealing with cheap knockoffs that don't work reliably, this is the smarter investment. For anyone doing network cable installations, whether professionally or for personal projects, having a good supply of quality connectors is essential. These Cable Matters pass-through connectors deliver the quality and consistency you need to do the job right. They work well, they last, and they help you create reliable network connections that'll perform properly for years. Really satisfied with the quality and value this pack provides.

These are great never have a problem with them.

These are great. As long as you have the right color combination of wires coming through the eight slots, your cable will test out as good. You don't have to diagonally cut the wires. These work, and that's really all that matters. I threw away the bottle of Zoerax connectors I bought, as those were utter garbage.

Well, I tried these, and when I tested them, I had to cut at least 8 connectors. Some did not crimp and skipped some lines. The new ones I put on, then others did not crimp either. I will have to go to Home Depot and get a set and try those and see how they work. I'm still trying to resolve this issue. I will update later. New Update, I put a 5 star on this item, i had the same problem ; i believe it was the small tester was problem and debris in the crimping tool, now with a new tester and cleaned tool, seems to be working fine. Thank you for supplying this product.

It's been a long while since I made my own patch cables. And when I saw this came out, I gravitated right towards it. It is extra helpful in identifying your wire color. My biggest issue was having the wire cross when shoving it into the connector. This has solved that problem, you get to see every wire coming out the end before you crimp it for a perfect end every time. If I ever go through all 100 of these, I will definitely consider buying another pack.

Good product and well worth the price. Only real disadvantages are that it is difficult to see the different channels for the wires and the retainer tab will break off easily if bent the wrong direction.

Used all 100, no issues. Ordering again. I have had issues with OTHER connectors in the past where occasionally, for whatever reason, the cable didn't work after crimping so I'd need to redo it. This was especially frustrating to run into when the physical inspection, after crimping, looked great. The fact that replacing the newly installed connectors took the cable test from fail to pass told me I had low quality connectors. I didn't run into this once with these! The cables pushed nicely through and the connectors crimped down without a single hiccup. Out of habit, I check every individual wire before crimping and test the cable afterwards. 100/100 with these!

Great end connectors for making custom length ethernet cables. These are super easy to use with the passthrough allowing easy confirmation of correct wire order. This cuts down on errors and having to redo. Personally my error rate went down from 1 in 4 to maybe 1 in 25. I use an Ideal brand passthrough crimp cutter to terminate these ends. These do not have the annoying two part mid align plastic insert. I terminated 5E, 6, and 6a cable, the 6a was harder but doable with a little 98%ETOH to lube the end through. (I have since then gotten 6a offset ends).

Die Cable Matters Cat 6 RJ45 Passthrough-Stecker haben mich vollkommen überzeugt. Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, die Kontakte sind sauber ausgeführt und die Stecker lassen sich problemlos verarbeiten. Besonders praktisch ist die Pass-Through-Funktion. Die Adern können einfach durch den Stecker geführt werden, wodurch die richtige Reihenfolge sofort sichtbar ist und Fehlbelegungen praktisch ausgeschlossen werden. Das spart Zeit und sorgt für saubere, zuverlässige Ergebnisse. Die Stecker sitzen fest auf dem Kabel und liefern eine stabile Verbindung ohne Aussetzer. Sowohl für Heimnetzwerke als auch für professionelle Installationen sind sie bestens geeignet. Mit dem 100er-Pack erhält man zudem ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die regelmäßig Netzwerkkabel konfektionieren.

Ya lo he comprado varias veces y muy contento con el producto, no hay nada que destacar en la calidad del producto, y de precio es razonable.

Decent quality and easy to crimp

Ordered a Pass Through RJ45 (with front holes), received normal type.

Z końcówkami jest coś nie tak. zaciśnięte na na dwóch różnych przewodach cat6. Niby na mierniku pokazuje, że prawidłowo zarobiony, a AP ubiquiti nie działa - zasilanie po Poe dochodzi, dane już nie. Nie widać urządzenia na switchu.
