I wish that they were a bit cheaper and that the head of it was a bit smaller but functionally these work very well. They have performed better then all of the other Cat8 termination plugs that I have tried

There is a few things you need to take care of to do a proper job. This connector should have at least AWG 23 wires ... if the wires are thinner they will slip out and won't be solidly connected. Another part you need to be super careful about is when twisting the final turn fitting. You need to twist it while making absolutely sure that the cable itself is not twisting. If even a small twist from the cable you will pull out or loosen the wires inside the connector and will not give a solid connection. I have used previously the Telegartner MFP8 and that connector is dramatically easier to work with and no learning curve needed. So yes they will work, but you need to be really careful and most likely will need to Fluke test the point to be extra sure it was done properly. With the Telegartner MFP8 you can just do the connection and not even worry about Fluke testing anything ... it just works!

These are far superiors to their plastic counterparts which have a habit of not locking the wires into place. On the inside of the cable end there is a color coded diagram of where the wires go with a depiction of the two change able places for the orange and green cables for either a straight though or cross over cable. There is a little silver stick strip that is used to wrap the cable close to the cut end of the plenium.

Excellent product, well made and durable. The instructions leave a little to be desired, but once I read them a few times and played with the unit, it was rather simple. I'm not a cable person, so these make it VERY easy to put a connector on the cable. It has a keyed color coded loader, so it's REAL hard to make a mistake. However, if you do make a mistake you don't waste the connector. Just take it back apart and start again. Best ones I have ever used. To top off the design, they even added a top push bar to unlock the rj45 from the port.

I've been installing these on Cat 7a cable. The cable I'm using has conductors that, at 0.60 mm in diameter, are somewhere between 22 AWG and 23 AWG. I've used these on 2.5 Gbps/POE+ links to wireless access points, for HDbaseT runs to TVs and to make patch cables connecting equipment to the patch panel in the network+A/V rack.These connectors are a pleasure to use. They come with a piece of copper tape to wrap the folded-back ground (I was taught to use copper tape with shielded cable but these are the first connectors I've used that actually include the tape), have a load bar that is easy to work with and can be squeezed shut with your fingers if you're strong or pliers if you're not. I think I've installed about 30 of these and have not yet had one fail to work.The only downside of these connectors I've found, beyond their price, is that they are quite large. The body and strain relief nut add about 2 inches to the length of the RJ45 connector itself (compared to less than an inch for a normal patch cable with a strain relief boot), and the connector body is a bit wider than the RJ45 so I can imagine that there might be ethernet switches where plugging several of these in side-by-side might be a tight fit. Then again, the cable I've been installing these on is itself quite thick (8.2 mm) and a bit stiff, so the size of the connector does not seem inappropriate. I've used and would prefer other connectors for smaller diameter shielded cable, but for larger stuff these seem ideal.I can recommend these connectors for larger cables.
