This Kenable Cat5e/Cat6 Pass Through RJ45 Plug pack is designed for network technicians and DIY enthusiasts who need to create custom Ethernet cables. Its key benefit is a simplified termination process that ensures proper wire order and improved performance, with a caveat that it's specifically designed for stranded cable and not solid core. These 8P8C connectors allow wires to pass through the front for easy verification and a tighter pull over the cable jacket, reducing the distance between twists and contacts for more reliable, higher-performance connections.

No, these Kenable RJ45 plugs are specifically designed for stranded Ethernet cable and are not suitable for use with solid core cable.
You will need an RJ45 crimping tool that is designed to work with pass-through style connectors. Standard crimpers may not seat these connectors properly.
The pass-through design allows you to thread the wires completely through the connector and out the front. You can then visually inspect and arrange the wires according to the T568A or T568B standard before crimping.
These connectors are suitable for conductors with a maximum gauge of 24 AWG.
While designed for Cat5e/Cat6, they may work with some Cat6a cables if the conductor gauge is within 24 AWG and the cable diameter is not too large. They are generally not recommended for thicker Cat7 cables.
Each pack contains 50 RJ45 pass-through connectors.
They help optimize performance by reducing the distance between wire twists and contacts, which can lead to more reliable connections and potentially better signal integrity, but they do not inherently increase the maximum theoretical speed of the cable standard (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet for Cat5e).
Ensure you are using an RJ45 crimping tool specifically designed for pass-through connectors. Verify the cable jacket is seated correctly within the rear of the connector.
Re-terminate the cable end, carefully verifying the wire order through the connector before crimping. Ensure the cable is stranded and within the 24 AWG specification. Check for any damage to the cable itself.
Ensure the cable jacket is stripped to an appropriate length, not too long or too short. Gently straighten the wires before insertion. Make sure you are using a stranded cable, as solid core wires may be more difficult to manage.

Care:
These connectors are designed for single use during cable termination. Store unused plugs in their original packaging in a dry environment to prevent dust and debris from accumulating on the contacts. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture.
