## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where are these plugs made?**
A: Cable matters

**Q: Will tis type field terminator handle 1000 MHz cable.**
A: The specifications for this connector indicate that it will handle up to 2000MHz. Obviously it will only achieve that specification if hooked up to a category 8 certified wire.

Haven’t tested that spec in real life but I can definitely say these are high quality connectors that are super easy to install and I have had no problems using them to send hdmi signal in an HDBT system.

**Q: are these comes with pass thrrough connectors?**
A: These connectors are NOT pass through. You cut the ethernet wire and there is a little piece that you put the wire into and then you put that piece into the connector and crimp down. These connectors are just like the LINKUP connectors in the way you put the cable inside of them. Linkup makes videos showing you how to assemble an ethernet cable.

**Q: Well this work with 26awg? the instructions say 22 - 26awg but the individual packets only have 22 - 24awg listed.**
A: RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER - CABLE MATTERS: 

No, this Tool Free Shielded RJ45 Cat8 Field Termination Plug doesn't work with 26AWG cables. It supports 22 AWG to 24 AWG Shielded Cat8 wire with an outside diameter between 7.0 and 8.5mm.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All connectors should be this easy
*by M***N on October 6, 2022*

Excellent product, well made and durable. The instructions leave a little to be desired, but once I read them a few times and played with the unit, it was rather simple. I'm not a cable person, so these make it VERY easy to put a connector on the cable. It has a keyed color coded loader, so it's REAL hard to make a mistake. However, if you do make a mistake you don't waste the connector. Just take it back apart and start again. Best ones I have ever used. To top off the design, they even added a top push bar to unlock the rj45 from the port.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They work great
*by S***N on September 20, 2024*

I wish that they were a bit cheaper and that the head of it was a bit smaller but functionally these work very well. They have performed better then all of the other Cat8 termination plugs that I have tried

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high quality, easy and quick termination.
*by C***J on May 5, 2025*

These connectors are high quality and make termination quick and easy. However, I feel they are expensive. I justified purchasing them for my home network because I wanted good quality and a connector that was quick and easy. Luckily I didn't have a high number of terminations to complete for my home network so I could justify the added cost. I do wish they provided more/extra copper tape for the ground wire. I had to purchase additional copper tape to complete my work. If you do purchase these rj45 connectors make sure you get the Cable Matters tools that go with it.
