Cable Matters 20-Pack 23-24AWG Shielded Cat8 Pass Through RJ45 Connector | 40Gbps, with Load Bar and Strain Relief Boots, 50µ Gold Plated, Not Compatible with 22AWG Cable

These Pass Through CAT plugs are easier to thread cable through, and crimp into place nicely. I take my time fitting them before crimping, and haven’t had a failure yet.

Used for my Cat 10Gbe re-wire these, in conjunction with a professional RJ45 crimp tool, made connections quick and simple. The feed through type need a pair of good end cutters to finish off. The cheap tools claim to do everything in once but I had little luck with them.

This item is for a pack of 20 shielded RJ45 plugs, rated to Cat 8. This review is for the "pass thru" type, so you have to trim the ends after crimping the plug on. Unusually, the plugs have an insert that your wires go into first, and then this is inserted into the plug, making it doubly fiddly. Not quite sure of the reasoning for this, other than to make a relatively straightforward task more fiddly. I do like the fact it has an easy to crimp shielding tag on it, which is far better than a lot of the ones I'd previously used which have an eyelet. Depending on the cable type, you will still have to wrap one of the wires around the shielding and ensure the shield tag crimps it nicely. I used these on some external shielded Cat5, and no issues running at 1Gbps over a 30m run. If you need shielded, whilst a bit fiddly in some areas, these are as good as any. If you don't need shielded, use normal plugs.

These connectors work well Good value Easy to connect up with cat 6 cable. Note that…. and this applies to all Ethernet connectors…. Make sure that the ends of the wires protruding thru the connector are trimmed really flush with the connector, else you may not get the “click” when inserted into the matching female connector. This is very important

Poor quality - only 4 out of the 20 connectors were pass through! All the others were not!

This Cable Matters 20-Pack Shielded Cat8 RJ45 Pass Through Connector with Strain Relief Boots for Solid or Stranded Ethernet Cable (Cat8 Pass Through RJ45 Plugs/Cat 8 Pass Thru Connectors) is great! Nice quality easy to use! Easy to connect! Does the job! Good value for money

Well made, do job perfectly.

Cable Matters 20-Pack 23-24AWG Shielded Cat8 RJ45 Pass Through Connector with Load Bar & Strain Relief Boots, NOT Compatible with 22AWG Cable, absolute great product, does the job as it should. Easy to use and well made

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.

Good quality

Impecable. Recomendable.

We used numerous of these male cat8 connectors. It was a little tricky with our cable that did not have the color stripe on each white wire, but we spent a little more time to check each connection. Overall, very good for the price.

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