Hey Guys

Can you guys recommend a place to buy rj45 connectors for Cat 6A 23AWG please?

The connectors I currently have seems to be not the right size.

I checked amazon Canada and saw a few but wanted to ask here first and buy from a reliable source.

Thanks

Max

Pass-thru or regular?
Staggered for CAT6 or straight?

Please provide all available options :)

I would like pass-thru for easy of installation.

Not sure what you mean by staggered or straight.

Thanks

Pass-thru requires a special crimper made for pass-thru connectors. Many prefer this Klein VDV226-110.
Regular (not pass-thru) does not.

Some CAT6 connectors cause the conductors to be slightly staggered or stacked on top and side (not quite on top of each other) as a means to get them closer together, I assume supposedly to adhere closer to CAT6 specs regarding bandwidth.

I've used both, no preference. Many hate the staggered but I've learned in those instances to use the 2 piece (an insert) and cut the conductors at a slant so you're not trying to insert all of them at once. If the connector is not staggered, then all 8 can be inserted at the same time.

These are highly rated pass-thru and specs say OK for 23AWG ==>> Cable Matters 100-Pack Cat 6 Pass Through RJ45 Connectors (Cat 6 Ends / Cat6 Connector / RJ45 Modular Plugs/Ethernet Plugs/Network Connector) for Solid or Stranded UTP Ethernet Cable
