These are really good connectors, only one problem: almost impossible to slip a 23AWG Cat6a s/ftp cable through them. I had a nightmare looking for the right terminators for this cable. Easily using the same connector for a standard Cat6 cable is ideal and very easy. but don't even try it, if you have a solid core of cat6A 23AWG you will spend hours of frustration and still end up with a broken cable.
