30 Pack Cat7 Cat6A Pass Through Shielded RJ45 Connector Modular Network 50μ Gold-Plated Plug for Cat 6, Cat 6A, Cat 7 and Cat 8 with Strain Relief Boots

Worked prefectly for the cable I bought. Used to install POE cameras. Held tight and worked first time.I bought shielded CAT6A outdoor direct burial cable through TrueCable (part # "6ASCMXBLK_1Krl")Therefore these cable ends are confirmed to work with an outside diameter of 7.6mm, conductor insulation outside diameter of 1.14mm and conductors of 23AWG.Using the included bars helps make sure the wires don't twist during installation.Tips: I recommend squeezing the bar while inserting the wires into it. Its can flex allowing the wires to cross if you don't. Squeezing lightly prevents this.Second tip: strip about 1.5 inch for enough length on the ground wire to wrap on the metal clamp.

Even with 26AWG CAT7 cable trying to get these wires pushed through the connector properly is incredibly difficult. Buy something else!

I recently updated my entire house's cat5E lines to cat7 and have been fighting with multiple brands of connectors that all seem to have something wrong with them. Either the guide holes are too small, or the shield doesn't have the dovetail for gripping the ground wire, or the boots don't fit. Fortunately, these connectors suffer from none of those issues. I've made both long and short run cables with these connectors and all have worked flawlessly on the first try. I like that the boots don't wrap around the snap tab and instead hover above it. It makes removing the cable much easier and still does the job of protecting the tab from hooking onto other wires and breaking. If you're coming from 5E and you've never used connectors like these, there will be a bit of a learning curve, but the more you make the easier it gets. Save yourself the aggravation and the right connector for your cat7 runs. I wish there were a few more sets of connectors for the price, but for small jobs this is a good option.

I've installed plugs in the past that included inserts with individual holes for each wire. This has a kind of zig-zag hole for all the wires. Maybe I was trying to install them on thinner conductors than anticipated, but it was relatively difficult to get the wires to stay in the insert in the correct order, and to line them up with the plug.The boots are also pretty loose on the plug once the plug has been crimped.On the plus side, they are shielded, and they seem to be functional enough.

I included a picture of a test I did with some thick Cat 6A cable (probably actually Cat7). It was hard to align the wires in the load bar, they are not really captured and can slide left/right up/down. Once they are all in they don't slide around. I guess that just goes with all the rj45's that use load bars?Also, when crimping, usually the pressure from the tool pushes down on a clear plastic part that puts pressure and holds on to the cable. This one puts pressure on the metal part which looks horrible (picture), though I guess it is covered up with the boot. It seems to be functional though.Realistically, we should be using keystone jacks, which I do, but in my case, I'm install a security camera that has a water tight female jack, I must use a male rj45, and it has to be slim enough so I can get the watertight hood over it. I just worry that given the challenges with this rj45 part, I may not be able to get it crimped properly while I'm up on the ladder. And putting up a keystone jack at that location is not really possible..

Works for Starlink cable repairs or a length modification as I did.Cut Starlink cable and place the XANHAM Cat7 Cat6A Pass Throughs on the cut ends. Make sure to observe 568B color code while assembling. So now you have 2 Starlink cables with one factory end and the other end is now regular RJ45 with 568B color layout.Buy your length of choice of outdoor grounded shielded Cat6 or 8 cable with regular RJ45 ends and purchase a pair of sealed outdoor Ethernet cable couplers.Connect the RJ45 ends of the Starlink cables to each end of the outdoor cable you bought using the outdoor couplers.A BIT OF MAGIC. At one end, the outdoor cable coupler translates slightly the order of the wires to 568A color scheme. The other end, the coupler there changes the color scheme back from 568A to 568B and no worries!Now you have one long Starlink cable with Starlink factory ends!

On multiple attempts to make cat6a connections the wires would not make a good connection. Even though there was a piece to guide the wires it would consistently miss at least two wires.

Un poco incomodo de que los cables queden en orden al momento de prensarlos
