Product description
What these connectors are for
If you’re making Ethernet cables to custom lengths, pass-through RJ45 connectors are one of those tools that can quietly save you a lot of hassle. This ITBEBE 100-pack is built for Cat 6 cabling and uses 8P8C (3-prong) ends designed to help maintain signal quality compared with some simpler styles.
The “pass through” angle matters in practice: you can line up each conductor, verify the wire order, and then crimp. That means fewer cables binned by an incorrect sequence, especially if you’re not doing it every day.
Key things to understand before you buy
On paper, these connectors are aimed at anyone terminating Cat6 UTP Ethernet cable using a compatible pass-through RJ45 crimp tool. The base description says they work with virtually every pass-through RJ45 crimp tool model, but that’s still something worth double-checking against your own crimp tool.
They’re also specified for both solid and stranded Cat 6 cables (24 AWG). If you’ve got Cat 6 cable that sits outside that 24 AWG range, or you’re using a different category, this kit may not be the right match.
There are two practical limits to keep in mind: - The connectors can handle a maximum cable outside diameter (OD) of 1.10mm. - They’re described as gold-plated 3-prong 8P8C ends intended for Cat 6 data networks, so if your job is more about very short patch leads for general use, you might not notice much difference compared with cheaper terminations—unless you value the pass-through workflow.
And yes, the promise of “reducing scrap” is sensible: transparent ends make wire order easier to identify while you work. Still, it won’t fix a crimp tool that’s misaligned for your cable size, so proper preparation remains the boring but important bit.
Where they shine in everyday cabling
These are best when you’re doing custom wiring rather than buying off-the-shelf leads. For example, you might be extending a network drop to a desk, running a cable round a skirting board, or replacing an awkwardly routed short lead with something tidier.
Because they’re pass-through, you can use the connector’s visibility to check that each conductor is in the right position before you commit to the crimp. That’s especially helpful if you’re learning, troubleshooting a colleague’s cable build, or doing a small batch of cables where one mistake is annoying.
Also, the description states they support speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second and are compliant with Cat 6 data networks. If you’re planning a faster setup and want Cat 6 termination that’s intended for that performance tier, these connectors make more sense than a generic “good enough” option.

Is it worth it?
It’s a solid pick if you’re regularly making Ethernet cables in custom lengths, you already have (or plan to use) a pass-through RJ45 crimp tool, and you want to reduce the chance of improper wiring sequence by being able to check the order more easily.
It may not be a great match if your cable isn’t Cat 6 or isn’t 24 AWG, if your cable’s outside diameter is more than the stated 1.10mm max, or if you only need one or two short patch leads and would rather avoid learning termination at all.
For most people, this sits in the “practical installer” lane: home network tinkering, small office runs, and anyone who values the repeatability of a pass-through workflow. It’s not going to magically guarantee perfect crimping—but it gives you the tools (transparent identification and a pass-through design) to be more accurate.
Mini FAQ
Mini FAQ
How many cables does this 100-pack cover?
Each connector is used per Ethernet end, so you’ll typically need two connectors per finished cable (one on each end). The pack count itself is 100 connectors.
Will this work with my pass-through RJ45 crimp tool?
The listing says it works with virtually every pass-through RJ45 crimp tool model, but it’s still worth confirming your tool’s suitability.
Can I use it with solid and stranded Cat 6 cable?
Yes—it's stated as compatible with both solid and stranded 24 AWG Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
What’s the cable size limit?
The information provided states a maximum cable outside diameter (OD) of 1.10mm.
Does it really help reduce scrap?
The product description links reduced waste to easier sequence verification thanks to transparent connectors. In practice, you still need careful crimping, but the visibility can make mistakes less likely.
When it makes sense
If your goal is custom Cat 6 Ethernet runs and you want pass-through RJ45 connectors that are designed for 24 AWG solid or stranded cable with a transparent, easier-to-check workflow, the ITBEBE 100-pack is the kind of bulk buy that can be worth keeping around. Just check your crimp tool type, confirm your cable OD fits the stated 1.10mm limit, and you’ll be set up for a smoother termination process.
