Cat6, Cat5e Crimp connectors, 50 Pieces

I purchased a bag of 50 of these and do not like them. They do not stay plugged into the Ethernet jack. The clip doesn't spring up far enough to catch. I've tried multiple ones, and they all had the same problem. If you wiggle the cable or tug on it, the cable will come out. This makes them completely useless, and they will not reliably stay connected.Maybe I just have a defective batch, as other reviews are positive (which is why I ordered them).Edit: Turns out if you bend the clip up (you have to force it), it seems to stay and then lock properly. I assumed that doing this would break the tab off, but was able to do so successfully on a couple I tried. Maybe this is always what you have to do?

After reading the mixed reviews, I wasn't sure about these connectors but decided to give them a try anyway. So far I've crimped solid wire Cat5 (I realize they don't claim to be for solid wire), stranded Cat5e, and stranded Cat6 cables with them. All of the cables have worked with no problems at Gigabit speeds (even the Cat5 surprisingly). I ran several network speed tests comparing the crimped cables to factory molded cables of the same types and found no significant speed differences. The cables have also been in actual use with no problems thus far.I'm not saying these are perfect, and they don't seem to be fully Cat6 spec, but they can and do work for Cat6 (or Cat5e) Gigabit Ethernet. I wouldn't trust them on a 10GBASE-T network, but if you've already shelled out the cash for 10GBASE-T equipment, you're probably not going to buy these anyway.

These were inexpensive and worked very well. The only caveat is that it does not come with a loadbar. I had never put together Cat 6 connectors together before and all of the instructions I found online referenced the use of a loadbar to make it easier to put the wires in the right order. This product does not come with one. You have to line up the wires in the correct order manually and then push them in to the end of the connector. It took and little bit of trial and error but in the end it was not that difficult. Can't beat the price and the connectors worked as advertised.

If you are interested in making your own cable, then I recommend you pick these up. I found $20 dollars for 50 at lowes, and $9 for 6 at radio shack, but $9 for 100!!!!!!! this price is unbeatable! So even though they are connectors, and there is obviously nothing special....... the price definitely makes a difference. I done lot's of cat 5 wiring, and not once have I had a problem with these connectors. People that complain that they don't work, just don't know how to make cable. I mean unless pins are missing, or there are cracks. Theoretically they are suppose to work, no matter what. Anyways that's all I will say about that. Nothing special about the connectors, but the price..... I demand you get them, for you cable makers.

Bought this based on reviews for a home project of running LAN to the living room and master bedroom. Something strange about the bedroom caused unstable WIFI even with extenders. Practiced making a few short LAN patch cables and got the hang of the process quickly. I use the  TRENDnet 8P/RJ-45 and 6P/RJ-12, RJ-11 Crimp, Cut, and Strip Tool, TC-CT68  crimper with these and they come out great. I had never done this before but every single cable I have made so far has tested perfect! These definitely get job done reliably. I have used them with both stranded and solid copper wire with no issues with either. Extremely happy!

These connectors work really, really well -- as long as you're not using CAT6. To say that these are for CAT 6 cables is a complete misrepresentation.I've been wiring up my basement before finishing it. I have a new box of CAT 5E and about 100' of CAT 6 from my previous house. CAT 5E goes into the connector without a problem, and I've yet to have one fail. But when it comes to CAT 6, these connectors DO NOT WORK. First off, the individual strands are too large to fit into their individual slots. Even after putting a lot of force into it, one cable always ended up bending because it refused to go in, and the others were very clearly fighting me. On the *one* occasion when I managed to get all of the cables into their slots, the rest of the cable with the cover was too thick to properly fit into the connector, let alone get it securely past the lock. Basically if I want to use the rest of my CAT 6 cable, I need to buy different end connectors.So, if you have nothing but CAT 5/5E cable, you'll love these end connectors. If you have CAT 6 or if you plan on using CAT 6 in the future, do not under any circumstances use these connectors.

The crimp connectors feel very sold and work just like normal. I have had no experience wiring cat cable prior to getting these. I was able to look up the instructions online and watch videos about connecting Cat cable to these connectors.The connectors make it really easier to attach cable. If you splice the wire and hold it in your hand these connectors will slip right over the wire and keep them in place. It made me really confident in running the cable through my house. I have had no connection issues yet!

I only needed a few of them but now have enough for the next several lives. I was careful to keep the untwisted wires as short as possible, and set them with the "TRENDnet 8P/RJ-45 and 6P/RJ-12, RJ-11 Crimp, Cut, and Strip Tool." The wall plug "Shaxon BM603W810-10B, Category 5E Keystone Jack, 10 Pack, RJ45 to 110-White" was also dressed carefully and set with the "TRENDnet Punch Down Tool with 110 and Krone Blade." Everything worked perfectly and my computer says it is attached to the router at 1Gb. Yay!

Excelentes conectores. Se adaptan perfectamente a las pinzas cuando se fabrica el cable. Los plásticos no se han aflojado después de un par de meses de haber fabricado los cables. Se insertan muy bien en las entradas de los switches y routers, lo que es bueno, porque algunos conectores quedan flojos o muy apretados.

Good product I have used more than 1000 nos. We do network set up as a professional business highly recommended.

Llega completo y funcionando correctamente, muy rara vez encontramos plugs defectuosos. Si le volvería a comprar más de este producto

This is a don't buy. Quality is very poor. jacks missing teeth.

Son de muy buena calidad y el precio fue excelente muy buenos conectores Cat 6.No me arrepiento de la compra.
