Review on πŸ”Œ Enhance Connection Stability with CableCreation RJ45 Pass Through Connectors - 50-Pack Cat6/Cat5e Gold Plated Modular Plug for Reliable UTP Ethernet Cable by Shane Minter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a little weird at first, but once you get the hang of it, it works great.

A lot of people don't like them because they displace every other wire in the connector. This is sometimes a bit cumbersome, since you have to align the plugs very well before plugging them in. I've found that pushing them slightly to the side of the clamp when inserting them helps a little. It still needs a bit of practice and a certain "touch" to work with it. I understand that many do not like it. Pros: They're cheap! In fact, I really like Offset. Your "white" wires end at the top (pin side) and your solid wires end at the bottom (terminal side). This gives you a really quick indication of the problem before you crimp. This makes it very, very easy to check the colors and order of your wires. Other than that I haven't had any problems with it so far and have flipped through a whole bag of them. They appear to be electrically sound with both solid and stranded wire. (Stranded cables are a little more difficult to run than solid cables, but you'll get the feel for it after a few of them.) I use them for both gigabit ethernet and serial RS-485 applications.

  • Cables and accessories
