Cat6 RJ45 'Easy' Connector 10pk - Two Piece - for all Category 6 / cat5e types

If you struggle to the point of repeated failure with ethernet connector assembly then these are great at making it achievable. My tips on it are to know the order of the wires and have them arranged with no twists, trim them down stepped from one side to the other slightly so you can insert the highest and the next one easier as it is slightly shorter than the one you have just inserted and so on. Check, check and triple check before trimming (reasonable amount of excess length outer sheath stripped to start with) and insert into the outer part of the connector. For me I did the brown wire the longest on the left with the lip at the back (definitely understand which way round they go in before inserting the first wire).

Easy to get cable colour alignment arranged into load bar, but when crimping it will either move out of place or connectors won't line up meaning not all 8 cables test positive, meaning useless and have to cut off and try again. Thus time consuming and wasteful, especially if you only have a short cable to start with.Correction: seems to be a trick is that if you keep the load bar as close to cable outer covering as possible before cutting and inserting into the plug it moves slightly less when crimping. Still not perfect or fool proof, but eventually managed to crimp a few in a row correctly.

So much easier to use than the single piece terminal. It still takes a little time to get the wires lined up but you can see when they are in the correct order

Life saver, I spent hours trying to connect the normal type, these still took time, I'm a DIYer.Make sure you write down the color order of the wires on piece of paper, make sure you find the slightly curved side of the internal piece, and then decide wife way round you will be looking at the wires in the connector.Is hard to explain, but you could end up with it wired back to front and have to start again.

I bought these as they claimed Cat6 compatibilty and even described them as compatible with 'Rosenet Heavy Duty grades'! However there is no way to fit standard solid core Cat6 Cables through the easy fit eyes rendering them useless.Jeez, just be honest and avoid people having to send this garbage back.

Maybe it's me, but I found the push-through connectors much easier to use, these seemed a bit of a faff, and if you lose the little bar which holds the cable, it leaves it useless. Not recommended by me, but I stress it might be the way I was trying to do it

OK but fiddly to fit. I have fitted Cat5 plugs for a long time but these Cat6 plugs are in a different league due to the awkward insert.

I had a single cat 5e cable to feed through a wall to allow better network connection to my office (wifi extenders wouldn't do the job). I bought a crimper and some standard cat 5 connectors and went to work attempting to order and feed the wires into the connector. In the end I ran out of connectors as I had to keep trying, failing to get any signal through and then snip it off to try again! So I bought these 2 piece 'Easy' connectors which worked perfectly first time! Ideal for any DIY networking without having to buy loads of kit.
