Review on πŸ’Ž Platinum Connect Cat6 Passthrough RJ45 Connectors - 100 PCS Jar, Gold Plated 3u - HIGH Speed Data Transmission (CAT6/100 PCS) by Fred Griffin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ends keep failing; embarrassing

The ends of the Superior Essex Cat6 cable don't crimp well, I have to wrap the cable with black electrical tape to get the connector to crimp without play/movement. It's also been my experience that crimp connectors don't make a good connection in RJ-45 jacks. In fact, you have to press them to make all the pins touch. Most of my connectors don't work with my Fluke cable tester, claiming that the 7th and/or 8th wire is bad. I used two different crimpers (Klien and Platinum tools) and had the same problem. For the price of these plugs I thought the quality would be better.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Protection
