RJ45 Connectors Cat6 2-Piece UTP Gold-Plated Modular Plugs 100-Pack | Load-bar twisted-pair design, 8P8C crimp end, 24-26AWG round or flat, 250MHz 10G, PoE++, ANSI/TIA-568-D.2, CE RoHS

I am extremely satisfied with this Connectors. These connectors are perfect for building or repairing Ethernet cables. The 100-pack is a great value, and I really appreciate the high-quality construction. The gold-plated contacts provide excellent conductivity, ensuring a stable and reliable connection, which is especially important for network performance.

Nice Cat6 RJ45 plugs with spacers included. Would be nice if boot/strain-relief included too.

I’m a novice with big hands and zero patience so I prefer the Ethernet plugs with the sleeves. These are a great value for the money and work great but they are a touch too wide so they fit into Ethernet jacks too snugly so there’s a risk for pulling the wire out. I filed the edges down a bit to make it easier to plug in.

I have used a lot of RJ45 connectors over the years in my field and these are by far the best I've ever used. The load bar is pass-through but the connector itself is not, which works well. I have a number of crimpers and they have worked in all types we have. These snap and lock into patch panels, routers, switches, etc., like you want. Pros: + Load bars w/pass through + Easy to load + Easy to identify load bar direction with the grooved top edge. + Load bar loads easily into the plug + Bonus punch down tool for those that need one... Cons: + Not many if any extra load bars...

Some tips on use: strip back 1.5" of jacket and remove pull string order wires by T568B color code cut ends of wires just to make them equal length, leaving lots of excess The wire guide has a side with solid plastic and a grooved side for puncturing the contacts through. Orientate so the smooth surface is away from you when the orange wires (pin 1) are to your left and cable dangles down/toward you.. slide guide over wires as far down as you can cut wires flush with end of guide insert the guide and CAT5/6 UTP into the plug as far as it will go. The plastic guide will be under the contacts when inserted. If it does not go in, the guide might be backwards. Crimp the connector Test your cable.

This is by far the worst product I ever purchased on Amazon, hands down, no contest. Not only bad, but in fact dangerous to your equipment. These should not only be banned from selling on Amazon, they should re-call all that are out there. The problem is that they don't crimp correctly. Yes, I am using a high end, ratcheting RJ45 8P8C crimper, of which I have no other problems with other connectors. See the crimper here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085S7VJLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Read the reviews on these connectors and you will see others with the same complaint. First, the crimp does not go down all the way. If you look at the side view of the RJ45, you can see the piercing tabs on the contact don't penetrate well into the wires. Leaving you with an "iffy" connection at best. But wait, the worst is yet to come. After creating a couple of cables, I of course plugged them into my network cable analyzer, and it ruined my equipment. I'd like to sue this company for a replacement of what is a pricey piece of test equipment. The problem is the contacts are not flush after the crimp. If you look at a side view, you can see the gold contacts sticking up beyond the individual channels of plastic. Thus, when pulling them out of my cable analyzer, the contacts on my analyzer jacks got hung up and mangled. The repair was not easy. The analyzer is a quality piece of equipment (not like this junk), and the jacks are mounted on a multi layer, double sided PCB. It takes a professional de-soldering station and luckily my 40 years of experience to do it right, and a lot of patience. Three jacks in total, all got mangled by these low end, out of spec connectors. You can see this in the forensic photo after removing the jack. So I bought the "True-crimp" brand of the same load block style connectors, to see what happens. They crimp perfectly! Same crimper, same cable, same technique. No, I am not affiliated or endorsed by them in any way. I am just telling you my true experience. Quality vs el-cheapo junk. I am not big on throwing money in the trash, but I literally threw this whole bag into the trash in the alley!

I read a lot of the reviews and saw that some people had trouble with these connectors. My first few attempts were unsuccessful then I stumbled on a YouTube video were they said to clip the wires very close to the load bar. That made all the difference. I have used these successfully since and they work great. Also one side of the load bar has slots that the connectors pass through when they’re crimped so you need to orient them correctly. They work great.

Exactly as expected. Will buy again

Bought these as I needed to run a cat 6 cable up into the loft. I've used a lot of cat 5 connectors in the past (some good one, some not so good) and although it's not my trade, I'm know how to fit them. I bought these on the understanding you couldn't use cat 5 connectors for cat 6 cable. Anyway, long story cut short. Ran the cable connected these ends, no signal. Reconnected these ends, same again. After third attempt I thought it might be the cable, it was a full box I found in an empty warehouse we've recently taken over. As a last resort before buying some more cable, I thought I'd try the cat 5 connectors. Bingo! Worked straight away. Suffice to say, these connectors reside where they were left. In the loft, never to see the light of day again!!! Sorry guys at Ampcom, as you might have guessed, I cannot recommend this product
