AMPCOM STP CAT8 RJ45 Connector Zinc-Alloy Tool-Free Ethernet Field Termination Modular Plug -6 Pack

if you are fitting this into a keystone on the wall... or a rack mount switch with a flush panel... you will likely not run into any issue and this should work fine.if you are putting it into a home router... or a streaming device... or anything else with a recessed rj45 connector - this likely will not fit well. this IS NOT the standardized size of your typical rj45 connector.... the top is much larger, and can block the depress pin to remove it if the port is recessed - it took me 45 minutes with a small needle tip tool to fish it back out.

This product is easy to use, instructions lacking the package gives you everything you need. You will need a pair of wire cutters and a pair of wire strippers.Unlike any other standard pressed connector, this one can be reused if the cable becomes problematic.

I bought these and another brand several months ago because I was running new ethernet cable through the house. I leapfrogged cat 6 (had cat5e) to Cat 8 and needed the bigger connectors. Now I bought these before I had fakespot installed, and just came back and noticed that fakespot gave this brand a big fat F. Not sure if they're paying for reviews or what to trigger that, but since they actually did work for me and I'm buying more right now, I wanted to drop a real review to let other actual real people know that they are legit, they do work and as long as you wire them the same on both ends (which yeah, I screwed up a couple times on that) they do the job. I'm getting fantastic speeds with my PoE system. The connectors are e very forgiving and can be rewired even if you do screw up.Tools you do need (for the wire not the connector) are a wire stripper (box cutter can be used instead--carefully) and I'd recommend a pair of flush cut snips too.

Compared to other more recognizable brands, these were much less expensive, they were easy to use and have been working great so, I am very pleased with them.

This connector is made of metallic casing and feels solid, durable.The wire feeding is fairly simple but it requires a wire cutter/clipper with Flush Cutting Edge to trim the extra wires. You have to trim flush or it may prevent the wire from push down all the way . Also, the wire stays loose inside the provided plastic conduit, which becomes an issue when I try to fix the wire position. It comes with a clip protector for storage so that the plastic clip does not break off in the tool bag with other tools.Performance is about the same with other keystone jacks and I get about 80-92MB/s transfer rate. I think it is acceptable.Overall, this is a useful, tool-less RJ45 Connector. It will become handy if you have to made a cross-over/straight cable onsite but you do not have the crimper tool with you. However, this jack a not a time saver jack but a useful tool to have.
