Product Information
Full details
The Kenable Pass Through RJ45 Plugs (100 pack) are designed for network technicians and DIY enthusiasts who need to terminate Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables with precision and ease. These innovative connectors feature a pass-through design that allows wires to extend through the front of the plug, ensuring perfect wire order before you crimp, though they require a compatible pass-through crimping tool for the full cutting benefit.

FAQs
Can I use these with solid core cable?
These plugs are designed specifically for stranded cable. Using them with solid core wire may result in a less reliable connection.
Do I need a special tool to use these?
While they fit in standard RJ45 tools, using a pass-through compatible crimping tool is recommended as it will automatically trim the wires extending from the front.
Are these Cat5e or Cat6?
They are universal RJ45 connectors compatible with various twisted pair cables, provided the conductor thickness does not exceed 24 AWG.
How many come in a pack?
This pack contains 100 individual RJ45 connectors.
What does the 2-fork contact design do?
The 2-fork design is intended to pierce the insulation of stranded wires more securely, ensuring a consistent electrical contact.
Troubleshooting
Wires are difficult to push through the front of the connector.
Ensure the wire ends are cut cleanly at a 90-degree angle and that the insulation is stripped back far enough to allow for easy manipulation.
Poor connection or intermittent signal after crimping.
Check that the wires were fully seated against the front of the housing and that the crimp tool applied sufficient pressure to pierce the wire insulation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces errors during cable termination
- Gold-plated contacts provide reliable connectivity
- Visible wire inspection prevents miswiring
- Reduces cable jacket gap for better signal integrity
Cons
- Requires a pass-through specific crimp tool to trim excess wires automatically
- Not intended for solid-core cabling
- Trimming wires manually can be tedious without proper tools
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These connectors are specifically engineered for stranded cables with conductors up to 24 AWG. To ensure the best performance, always use a high-quality cable stripper to prevent nicking the copper conductors. When crimping, ensure the cable jacket is inserted past the internal locking tab to provide sufficient strain relief. While these plugs are compatible with standard RJ45 tools, you will gain the most efficiency by using a dedicated pass-through crimping tool that snips the wire ends as it finishes the connection. Store these connectors in a dry environment to keep the gold-plated pins free from oxidation.
