Klein Tools VDV826-611 RJ45 Connectors, Cat5e Modular Data Plugs with 3-pronged Contact for Solid or Stranded Conductors, 100-Pack

This is a real field results of Klein Tools - VDV826-611 Modular Data Plugs RJ45, CAT5e.I am an IT network professional. I have terminated thousands of cables with a 98% percent successful termination rate. Once, I terminated about 23 cables in about 18 minutes in a speed test between me and my field technician colleague for a customer home theater network rack system at a home worth $2.5 million! This was a $75K network and home theater install. I have installed IT network infrastructures for billion dollar network enterprise corporations -- from financial to medical industries.As you can see, the picture shows proper termination I did using 568B standards; however, it did not pass my LAN tester. This occurred numerously resulting to an abysmal termination rate of about 3/5 ratio (every 5 terminations, 3 did not pass my LAN tester). Upon very close inspections, I noticed that the terminable teeth do not penetrate the wirings very well. My only possible analysis is that they are not designed for 23AWG CAT-6. I have not had this error rate in my whole entire profession and my personal network installation for my homes.It works fine for CAT-5E cables, but there should not be any difference between CAT-5E vs. CAT-6E for this rudimentary application.

The product picture is a RJ45 pass-through connector, which is deceiving because the product is solely a modular connector and NOT a pass-through connector. I need EZ RJ45 connectors for quick crimps and not to be spending time removing the blade off of my klein crimper to make connections. Tight fit for 23 awg cat6. The newer connectors (VDV826-703) seem to be passthrough though so i'll give those a try. These connectors do work and would seem better off for 24awg or cat5e cable though. Wouldn't recommend this version of connector for professionals who do a lot of install jobs.

I'm a first timer so take this review for what it's worth. I wish the product provides better instructions on what to do with the parts that came in the box (sled, liner). l couldn't find much on Youtube at the time so just wasted a couple of connectors experimenting until I figured it out on how all the parts fit together. I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue with a pro, but I thought it would be nice for the manufacturer to just assume that there are just do-it-yourselfers out there. But these do work, and seem to work pretty well.

It is difficult to make good connectors. About 1 in 5 failed and had a short. I’m a novice and it took about 15 minutes to make each connector. After a good deal of frustration, I used a true pass through connector and didn’t have a single issue. Plus, it cut time down to about 3-5 minutes per connection.If your a novice, I’d skip these and try something else.

These work great with 24 awg stranded wire CAT6, but its a very tight fit into the wire guide with 23 awg solid wire CAT6. Either way though, every crimp was successful. It just took a while to thread the 23 awg wire into the wire guide. I can't see how 22 awg (within the spec of CAT6) would possibly work with these. Also note worthy is that these are very robust construction, and fit no problem into every ethernet receptacle I tried. And I crimped these using a budget UbiGear crimper.

I originally bought some Ideal Cat6 plugs. Problem with them is the newer version does not have through holes in the last piece. These Kleins have the through holes like the original Ideals, assembled and trimmed the same way as shown on the Ideal assembly youtube videos. Works fine with a bit of a learning curve. I like 'em.

These are of decent quality, retain the wires well, and work perfectly with the Klein crimping tool. They are the same depth as many other brands and do work with my other crimp tools too. These are sold with each of the three parts in a separate bag then all in one clear plastic package. It would be great to see bulk packs of larger quantities someday.

Worked perfect with no problems. I cannot afford a call back to have an IP Camera wink out on me because of cheap connectors. Gold plated pins work good. Threw out all of my pile of cheap connectors. I also don't use cheap cable.

Completamente funcionales, de calidad. Conectores bastante simples, no me gusto el detalle de que para que no quede bailando el cable se tiene que armar con 3 piezas, y la pieza con los "canales" para pasar los cables queda bastante ajustado a los cables y complica el armado.

A quien corresponda buen día, la muestra de la foto que aparece en el rj45 no tiene nada metálico para interferencias para protección para blindaje, y no fue así

el conector es un conector común, en la foto aparece con unas partes metalicas para aterrizar el conector, pero en realidad no las tiene. Viene en una sola pieza en las fotos aparece que esta por separado un agrupador de cables y el conector, no lo regrese por que lo necesitaba con urgencia

Lo esperado. Funciona a la perfección

Un poco complicado acomodar los cables en las ranuras. No se si existirá otro producto que permita hacerlo con mas precisión.
