With a normal RJ45 you don't get that close to the pins. Even with through connectors, it's difficult to get that tight into your corners. (You must avoid too many straight wires for optimal data throughput.) Pass-through connectors that require special tools are junk and you're spending a fortune on

After trying unsuccessfully to make cables with different connectors, these cables are a life saver! It takes a lot of practice to properly line up individual strands for CAT6 without a guide or pass-through connector as I haven't figured this out and have made other types of cables in the past so I'm not a beginner. to something. I used 24AWG CAT6 cable and it's quite narrow so I'm not sure 23AWG will work well with these connectors. Here are my usage tips: 1) Remove the outer shield from the…
