SHD Cat6 Ethernet Cable Network Cable Patch Cable UTP RJ45 Computer Network Cord - 2Pack 10Feet

The wires don't pass all the way through. They butt up against the end on the inside. These are significantly more difficult to crimp than the alternative. I'm pitching the whole batch and buying a different brand.

I've been doing networking projects for over 13 years now and these are by far the worst ends I have ever used. The problem is that the slots are slightly offset. Example: Pin 1 is low, Pin 2 is higher than Pin 1, Pin 3 is then low and so on. The beginning of the pin slots are tapered as well so it causes the wire to slip (usually down) and cause crossed wires or bunch ups in the slots.There are better connectors out there for a few extra bucks. Chances are you will mess so many of these up because of the offset pins that it'll probably cost you more in the long run.

I have a Southwire RJ-45 Crimper tool that I've used for the past year for my job. I've never had issues crimping Cat5e Connectors but this product was much different than what I expected. First of all it uses a Cat6 connector design where one cable is layered on top of another sortof like if it was building a pyramid. But that part is fine and easy to guide the wires in.My main concern is that when I try to crimp the connectors I get a nasty clicking noise where the gold pins don't match up with my crimper. I've made about 20 connections so far and I am not happy with how they turned out. They work and don't get packet losses through wireshark but the problem is that the gold pins when you look at the side don't go all the way in the wire. This is especially seen on orange on the B standard wiring, the 3 spiked pin is barely making contact inside the wire and that's with crimping as hard as I can. It's like the spacing between the connectors were millimeters off and aren't perfected.Conclusion: It is cheap enough to deal with but I will not be buying from this brand again due to not fitting properly on a RJ-45 Crimping Tool.

I use a high quality crimper by Klein and take my time when making connections. Used a few dozen of these, and so far, 100% success rate. Ratcheting Crimper, Modular Crimper Cutter Stripper for RJ45, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A Klein Tools VDV226-011-SEN

I am just a beginner, so don't quote me too much on this review if you are a pro. What I can't say is, this is not something that you want to buy if you are just starting doing this or if you are just doing on your own whating YouTube. In this case you want to get something that comes with the inside piece. This does not come with that and makes almost impossible to feed the wire in the correct hole. BUY THE ONE WITH THE INSIDE PIECE. you won't regret it.

I crimp Ethernet cables routinely for my job. I would say that I have conservatively crimped a few thousand of them over the last 15 years if not more. These are among the worst I have used. I'm not sure why but for some reason one pin consistently does not line up with the crimpers and does not get crimped. I have had a 1 in 4 success rate for these. When it fails, either the first pin or the last pin does not line up or push down. I test each cable with my Fluke Microscanner after each crimp. I was looking to save money and purchased these. I will not buy these again in the future.I use a Crimper from Ideal Industries Cutter Cable Tool 4981032. These still work perfectly for the higher quality RJ-45 I use at the office daily and have 99% success.

Finally got around to buying bulk cable, rj45 connectors and a crimp tool. It's part of a project I'm doing to upgrade the network, which involves running a network drop to my room as well as custom cable lengths to tidy up the areas I have devices hooked up. These work perfectly. The wire pairs are slightly offset from eachother in the connector, which took a bit of practice to get used to getting the cables in. It's much easier to do with propper copper cable as the more rigid copper is able to push into the connector easier than copper clad. Though you really don't want to use copper clad when you can avoid it anyway.Paired these with a $15 crimp tool and I was ready to go. The connectors are solidly constructed, and I haven't had any of them end up faulty after doing multiple cables. They have a strong click when they are inserted into a port, and the latch feels very sturdy and unlikely to break without being abused. Definitely recommend this for cat6 cable work

I was using these RJ45 tips for an IP camera installation and 3 out of 5 cameras had bad connections on the first run. After reterminating close to 20 times we finally dug in the truck for some old RJ45 tips and after reterminating once we resolved the issues. We are not novices at terminating Cat5, and do these terminations regularly. I can say that we have not had many issues using these to terminate a network connection but when it comes to running a POE IP camera they proved to be very problematic and costs us a few hours of time on a job site. Would much rather pay a little more for a quality connector that we can count on working the first time.

Chinese grade, black corroded metal pins. It does not make correct contact even if you try to scratch those pins one by one in order to remove this shady black corrosion. Not good for connectivity. For POE? Forget it! Complete waste of money.

I use these to repair ethernet cables when they no longer work.

Good value
