Great value for the money - To do this correctly you need the correct tool
For those who are complaining that these are more difficult to use than the standard non-pass through style, you must be doing it wrong. For best results, you shouldn't need to cut and then pull back before terminating. It should be done in one motion with the correct toolFor those who are thinking about doing some custom cables and are new to making RJ45 jacks, these pass through connectors are a great way to learn and hone your skills. As long as you have the correct termination tool, these are noob friendly.. all you need to do is cut off way more cable than you need and slide them in one by one. Some of my solid copper 23awg cat6 cables don't like untwisting and end up binding a bit but these jacks make it a pinch by allowing you to do it one at a time. You may need to twist the jack a tiny bit to wiggle the wire in. I have a much easier time with stranded cable as those untwist easier and you don't have to waste as much.If the cables don't want to untwist much, you'll have a hard time lining all 8 at the same time. If you do it one by one and then use some pliers to pull the slack, you make your life much easier.Now you can make some really short custom cables, great for neat cable management if you have a rack.

Great for “casual” Ethernet cable crimping
For those of us who only make our own patch cables occasionally, I’ve found that standard RJ45 jacks can be incredibly difficult to slide onto Cat6 cable and keep the wires in the right order. There’s definitely an art to making patch cables, and with the thickness and inner core of Cat6 I just don’t get clean crimps with standard connectors.I wish I had learned about pass through connectors years ago - they make the job so much easier for the home hobbyist. Strip off way too much jacket, moves the wires around with ease, clip the wires to a “reasonable” length, feed them all the way through, and crimp and cut. Genius. It’s so much easier and faster and by nature I find it to be more accurate since you can see the wires in order much more clearly in the connector.

They work fine
I've used pass-through plugs by many different manufacturers and they all seem to work fine, these are no exception. I really don't get negative reviews for any of them. All I can figure is sometimes people get their wires crossed and blame the connectors.A thought. After making a bunch of connections using these and some similar made by Klein it occurred to me that the people who are having problems need to make sure the cable they're using meets the specifications these connectors call out. I ran into some problems with both these and Klein when replacing connectors (the cable ends were damaged mechanically) on old cables where the outer diameter was a tad small. The connectors worked fine but the crimp that secures the whole cable broke and did not properly secure the cable. The cables were marked as CAT 5e and supplied years ago by a Camera/NVR manufacturer. On the other hand I made up a few plugs using "trueCABLE Cat6 Outdoor" and although the cable is less flexible and more difficult to handle, the plugs worked great, and the crimp that secures the cable worked perfectly.The point is the cable and the connector are a "system" and must be treated such.

So much easier
I finally had a chance to use these on a new Cat6 line. They are so easy compared to the old kind of connector where you had to butt the end of the wire. Wires slip through the holes and can be pulled tight before crimping. If you strip the outer cover about two inches you can bend the first one over after pulling it part of the way through to keep it from falling out. Then push the others through one at a time. Trimming with diagonal cutters left a small nub but it still plugged in and clicked the keeper. My old crimper worked fine.

Great connectors if you have the right tool
This is the first time I ordered connectors where the wire can pass all the way through. I guess if you have a tool that can cut them flush that works out perfectly. Mine is an older tool that does not do that so I have to make sure not to push them all the way through. Other than that, they work as expected.

SOOO much easier to assemble than ones w/o pass-through holes for wires
Wish I had gotten these years earlier. Easy to assemble if you know a few tricks (Youtube is your friend...). First, trim the Ethernet cable to about 2 or 3 inches of exposed wire. Then, use a small screwdriver, insert between wires near the insulation, and draw the screwdriver up- WA-LA, a long length of STRAIGHT wire pair appears, no more manually untwisting! Repeat for all pairs. Cut back a half-inch or so from the end until the remaining wire is fully straight. Arrange the wires in the correct color code order, trim the end so that the cut is perpendicular to the wire end, NOT angled. Hold wires tight against one another, Insert into this jack, push and all the wires poke through. Push the cable through until the insulation meets the end of the jack. trim wire at tip to be flush with connector, then crimp with your tool. Easy-peasy. And easy 5 stars.

Makes what's usually a very tough task, EASY!
I've been installing networking and phone cables since the early 1990's and I've never come across a product that changes such an arduous task into something far easier to deal with. Anyone that's ever terminated RJ45 ends will tell you it's something you have to do all the time to stay good at. Anytime I've ever been tasked with terminating one, the first will take me 30 minutes and then the next will take me five. These new type of ends allow you to see the work and validate before you crimp.. Amazing technology and amazing product. Fast ship and great customer service. I was dreading having to do these and this made my job easy. So easy that I actually ran some more cable and did a few more that I would never have done if doing it via the old method.
