Not the easiest application but they work and are good value for money.

DO NOT WORK WITH THE ELECTRICAL DIAGRAM ON THE BOX (see photo). It has the same pattern for T568A and B configurations. If you run B, the image E provided is *wired.* See authoritative diagram. However, this is the only problem I have found with them and I am happy with the purchase. Keep your wires long as they are rarely (as usual) inserted flat and properly oriented in an up-down configuration. It's a lot easier to hand screw them in one at a time, which means a bit more wire will be burned, but I bought 1000 feet so that doesn't bother me too much. Kind of a PITA, but they work fine when installed properly. If you're running a lot of cables, you might want to look for a simpler configuration, as getting it set up correctly takes time and patience is a virtue. I have extra heavy gauge Cat6A 23 AWG outdoor solid copper wire and I need to "pinch" the jacket about 2-3cm from the exposed pairs to allow it to slide inside. However, when crimped it is strong and makes a good quality cable. . Don't forget to order boots!

Pros
  • ✅ GOOD PERFORMANCE With 3-pin gold-plated contacts, stronger anti-oxidation properties, the contacts are close to the core, which ensures a more stable connection.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
