Beware: this product is for stranded cable applications (i.e. making your own patch cables with stranded cable - useless for punch-down). If used with solid cable, these plugs will cause intermittent problems.

Bought a 100-pack of these at a local electrical supply store. Worst RJ45 jacks I've ever used. The package states for stranded wire. All the Cat5e UTP cable I've ever used has been solid -- not stranded -- wire.

Do not attempt to use this wire with solid cable. Period.

I've gone through about a dozen of these so far and still haven't made a working patch cable. Fifteen years of experience in networking, and I've never had this much trouble with cabling. Not even on my first day on the job...

These may be great for stranded cable. I don't know as I've ever seen stranded Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 cable.

Good luck if you buy these.

After reading reviews of other cheaper packs, I decided to pay the extra money for quality and it paid off. These are well constructed and not a single one has failed me so far.

These work great for me. I've had no issues so far in getting them to crimp and latch. I love the small square container they come in.

I've built 10 CAT 5 cables and had no issues. The plugs crimp properly and the connections work every time.

The little jar is handy for keeping in my desk.

So far I made over 10 cables. All connectors crimped without any problems, and work in 100 Mhz network. I have had failures with plugs from other manufacturers. The order arrived as promised in good condition.
