Obviously it will only achieve that specification if hooked up to a category 8 certified wire. Haven’t tested that spec in real life but I can definitely say these are high quality connectors that are super easy to install and I have had no problems using them to send hdmi signal in an HDBT system. **Q: are these comes with pass thrrough connectors?** A: These connectors are NOT pass through. You cut the ethernet wire and there is a little piece that you put the wire into and then you put that piece into the connector and crimp down. These connectors are just like the LINKUP connectors in the way you put the cable inside of them. Linkup makes videos showing you how to assemble an ethernet cable. **Q: Well this work with 26awg? the instructions say 22 - 26awg but the individual packets only have 22 - 24awg listed.** A: RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER - CABLE MATTERS: No, this Tool Free Shielded RJ45 Cat8 Field Termination Plug doesn't work with 26AWG cables. It supports 22 AWG to 24 AWG Shielded Cat8 wire with an outside diameter between 7.0 and 8.5mm.

Cable Matters Support Team ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Purchase *by on Reviewed in the United States February 22, 2026* High quality terminator plug product and easy to use with riser rated CAT8 cable. Highly recommend using Milwaukee 5 in. Mini Flush Cutting Pliers for precise trimming of the individual wires, as the well designed wire holder component on the terminator plug assembly needs them to be all very precisely lined up and all the same length for setting wire holder in place and ease of closing the plug's nicely hinged design. No specialty crimping tool needed! The only issue to note is the small shielding strip for the cable wrap could be a bit longer and is fussy to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, great product. *by on Reviewed in the United States June 21, 2021* These work great, no need to use a punch down tool, or a tool to squeeze together. Easy to push together with some strong hands. Be careful with copper strip to cover wire shielding. Instructions are easy to follow, all pictures though, no words.Customer service was very prompt in returning emails. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits thicker cables *by on Reviewed in the United States August 4, 2025* I've had issues in the past with CAT7 / CAT8 cables not fitting into CAT7 / CAT8 pass-through plugs because the wires were too thick, but these work nicely! Used 2 of these on both ends of a CAT8/SR cable and they work perfectly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters 6-Pack Tool Free Shielded RJ45 Cat 8, Cat8 Field Termination Plug, Cat8 Connector, Cat8 Plug - Cable Matters Easy Crimp Tool for Cable Matters Cat8 (Cat 8) Shielded Metal Keystone Jacks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/52672521-cable-matters-40gbps-6-pack-tool-free-shielded-rj45-cat](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/52672521-cable-matters-40gbps-6-pack-tool-free-shielded-rj45-cat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
