Everest Media Solutions RJ45 Cat7 & Cat6A Pass Through Connectors - 30 Pcs, 50UM Gold Plated Shielded FTP/STP External Ground for 23 AWG Network Cable

Pretty expensive for the awful quality. I’ve had to throw away almost a dozen because of bad connectors or data not properly passing through the cable. Do not buy these from this company. Edit: Company sent a replacement package at no charge. The replacement package had good connectors. I should reiterate that the seller is good.

Bought pack of 30 of the connectors. 18 of the 30 ended up being disposed after connecting to CAT 7 cable. Tester fails for all the 18 connectors used. Not sure what good a pass thru connectors do if over half of it fails. Reinstalled on non-pass thru connectors and all passed test with flying color. Not one failure. Simply wasted money and feel like I’ve been scammed by Amazon. Amazon should be responsible for selling junk products online.

Updated Update: I originally left a fair review but now changed to Excellent! I have looked through 2 new bags and not one of the connectors were bad. These do fit 23 AWG fine despite what one person says. Take a look at the pictures I am using CAT6A STP and have no problems with the wire or the expanded casing fitting in the connector. The quality of the jackets seem very good / no flaking or exposed corners. Great Job. Update: The seller contacted me and asked if I could look at the again (new bag). I will update this review after I do. My experience is no reflections on the ordering or returns process. So far those are great. And the actual product (if all there) is probably very good. However, the quality control is lacking. Half (guess really) of my ends do not have all 8 contacts. I did not figure this out until I wasted about a hour and 4 ends. What I got was 8p7p (Eight Position, Seven Contacts). Too high of price to be throwing a good portion of them away.

These worked great. Specifically with this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0742RZF6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eE6iFbH3FP1DC Which is advertised as 23 AWG. The gauge appears to be accurate. In fact it appears to be constructed more like CAT7 cable than the advertised CAT6a. Anyway, these worked well for me with that cable. They probably will work fine for anyone competent who is using them for the advertised purpose with the correct tools and cable of decent quality. Of note is that they do not come with hoods. If you need hoods, buy them separately.

Tested with: SolidLink Cat6A S/FTP 23AWG PRO: +good quality heads +generally easy to line up conductors inside heads +supports Grounding connection via cable band to shielding. CON: -wow holy crap these are tight for 23AWG, really quite a struggle to get them to cooperate. It can be done but, not quickly. -packaging is utter trash. This is 30 heads in an absurdly thin plastic bag, with an inner bag full of load bars. Each head has delicate teeth which can be knocked out if tossed around. -No way to reclose bag in which these come! Give me a canister, or a plastic package or something, but a thin bag doesn't cut it. All considered, these are great. They worked better than the last set of heads I tried, so I'm happy to use them. But gosh are they finicky.

I have cat 7 cable and when I connected other rj45 the connection did not work. I changed to this products and it works perfectly at 10Gbps. 100% recommended.

The Cat7 wires are very difficult to insert into the assembly

I ordered a set and when received it was obviously previously opened which had me counting them and coming up with 4 missing connectors. Benefit of the doubt I ordered a replacement The second set I ordered the first connector I picked up looked offset. So I took a picture and looked closer and it was missing a tooth giving me 7 of 8 connectors. I started looking at the others and sure enough many were missing missing teeth, when I looked in the bag I found 4 but in total 10+ were missing not to be found. I'm not sure if the original pack had the same issue but I can only imagine. It also turned out the replacement was also missing one of the wire alignment inserts. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone.
