Review on Connectors Diameter Transparent Passthrough Ethernet by Ralph Gerry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

you get what you pay for; in this case garbage.

There was an order that required multiple user launches of CAT6. Where necessary, I have tried to use these. Almost every cable with these connectors has failed. After a lot of re-crimping, I thought maybe my crimping tool hadn't trimmed the ends cleanly, so I bought a new one. There were still failures. Then I thought maybe there was a problem with the launch, so I tried a different cable and started some new drops and patches. The problems persisted until I ordered RJ45EZ plugs from Blackbox (much more expensive). All my crimps went through the first time. I spent dozens of man hours remodeling and wasting money on the job paying my people (not to mention remodeling myself to try to save some money and keep the rest of the potential profit). 10/10 will stop using their products. Maybe it was poor quality assurance and I just got a bad batch of connectors, but I'm not risking it again. Just pay for quality parts and avoid potential headaches.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here
