Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CAT6 RJ45 Modular Plug 50 Pcs
Customer Review: Poor Design
Summary: 4 Stars
Typically in the past I've purchased connectors that had all the holes lined up horizontally level. This product however had every other hole staggered one high, one low, one high, one low and so on. Horrible when trying to feed the wire through. It just makes it such a painful experience. I do not recommend this to anyone.
***EDIT***12/9/2010***
I am updating my review the reflect the proper quality of this product. By my own ignorance I didn't realize there was a fundamental difference when wiring connectors from cat5e to cat6. The staggered hole lineups are intended and now its a two piece end. You need to get your wires lined up, cut them at an angle, then feed them into the smaller piece with the holes. Then slide it down the wire, cut the wire ends straight and put it into the plug. When you understand Cat6, you understand its not the product its the end users lack of knowledge of cat6. Once I figured this out, I've been able to make dozens of cables flawlessly and with ease. I highly recommend the product and give it 4 Stars. I would have given it 5 had they had some idiot proof insert telling you how to do this. Even if it was a small picture. I think until cat6 is streamlined and everyone understand it, its important that the manufactures add these little disclaimers to teach the newbies.
Customer Review: Tight fit for Cat6
Summary: 4 Stars
There are plenty of instructions online, so lack of paperwork was no problem. Definitely leave some extra wire after untwisting the pairs and make your first cut diagonal. This makes it easier to insert the individual leads into the guide block. After verifying the layout, cut the ends off flush with the end of the block then insert for crimping. It was a very tight fit for the unstripped cable to be inserted into the RJ45 plug. Be sure the conductors reach all the way into the plug before crimping.Customer Review: Hit and miss?
Summary: 3 Stars
Maybe its me but these seem not to crimp to well. I had to do over some lines a few time before it worked.The teeth that get inserted into the wire seem to miss at times and the thing is it comes with a guide.Customer Review: Cat6 Micro RJ45 Plugs/Modular
Summary: 2 Stars
Product came as advertised in a neat small package. Cost of shipping too high. RJ45 plugs/modulars with loadbars fit CAT6 solid cable. However, crimping did not result in a good connection. Tried numerous times but each time the Trendnet cable tester would indicate a faulty pin. It was always at a different cable pin. Finally used ten year old RJ45 plugs/modulars without inserting the loadbar and every patch cable made work perfectly. I wanted to return the RJ45 plugs/modulars but why add the cost of shipping the plugs back. A lesson learned, read the reviews of others, and learn from their mistakes. I don't blame the company but the CAT6 plugs/modulars are not reliable.Customer Review: Poor design, worse technical support
Summary: 1 Stars
These RJ45 plugs for Cat6 wires are constructed with a single pin that fails to consistently penetrate the solid wires in our Cat6 ethernet cables.
Their technical support was even worse, the response we received when asking about teh inconsistent connections is that their testers didn't have any problems!
We are presently using RJ45 plugs that have pins that wrap around the solid wires and come with excellent instructions that detail how to strip the wires, place them in the cable guide, etc.
The pins I purchased from Amazon don't have any instructions, their technical support hasn't supplied any instructions.
Please don't buy these ends, I don't believe they will work very well with standed wire in the ethernet cables either, the pins aren't strong enough to be stable.
