Review on Enhance Cable Connections with Cable Matters Through Stranded Connectors by James Salem

Revainrating 5 out of 5

BASICS GOOD GENERAL INTERNET LAN PASSAGE - NETWORK/RJ45 WIRE PLUG

I majored in computer science but went into systems management. Since then I haven't had to crimp the cable anymore. Well, fast forward 21 years and I have a brand new home with no fixed Category 5/Category 6 wiring anywhere. I had to run all the cables through the walls myself. The problem is that the entire pre-measured network cable was either too long or too short. To get the cables to the right length, I had to cut and terminate them myself. I like the pass-through cable better as I think it gives me a bit more control over the process. Cable Matters 100 RJ45 pass-through modular plugs for solid or stranded UTP cable are quite versatile compared to the others offered here. I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. This cable jack worked just as well as the branded one and was cheaper. I've never had any wiring problems. There were no wire twists or other issues as long as the wires were straightened and arranged properly. All crimps were done with no problems. The resulting connections were good. No reduction in internet speed or reliability. These cable connectors are just as durable as their more expensive counterparts. Depending on the unit price, you will receive additional connections. I'm still using the old-fashioned configuration of Broken Green, Solid Green, Broken Orange, Solid Blue, Broken Blue, Solid Orange, Broken Brown, and Solid Brown. Young people laugh at me for my old school telegram. Just make sure the order you use on one end of the cable is the same as the other end of the cable.
