Would RecommendWork as desired.
Solid networking equipment
Would RecommendWorks well with Cat5e and Cat6. Have used ideal brand networking equipment quite a bit and are good quality.
This is the only brand I will use
Would RecommendI have used 1000's of these and they just work. The build quality is the best and the clips actually stay clipped in. I've yet to have a bad one. I tried going with cheaper alternatives but they are junk.
Perfect for IT work
Would RecommendFor those working in the field on any IT related project this is a great option. East to install and reliable. They don't break under moderate stress.
Verified Purchaser
Right part
Would RecommendNeed to install new ends on a CAT5 cable and these were a good and easy fit for the job.
Perfect tool
Would RecommendNice tool. Easy to work with. Cuts clean, crimps perfect
Plugs work as expected
Would RecommendThese work great for making your own LAN cables. You just need to have a compatible crimping tool. I use an Ideal model 33-396 crimp tool on these RJ-45 plugs and have never had a problem.
Used these to double capacity on single Cat5E cabl
Would RecommendAs expected. Orange & Green, Then Brown and Blue. Single cat5E cable now handling to PCs
RJ 45 plug
Would RecommendI used these to build custom communication cables and dreaded the wire insertion based on previous experience with a different connector. To my surprise there was no problem at all and will purchase the same parts when needed again.
Secure crimp on for CAT5e connections.
Would RecommendJust moving into another house and wired it for CAT5e in every room for streaming and such. Never did find a bad connector in any of the many I had to crimp on. They hold the jacket well when it is included into the connector as well. All the pins penetrate the insulation well and all runs passed on the network analyzer tool.
Hi Sam glad to hear you got it fixed! Have fun Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
Well made
Would RecommendThese are some of the easiest connectors I’ve used. The wires slipped right in, didn’t cross or bind and seated first try. Crimped well and made good connections. Better than a lot of ends I’ve used over the years.
Ideal Rj45
Would RecommendIdeal has always been the best. I must admit I was buying these because my 30 year old stash had become cloudy and I couldn't see through them very well, lol. FYI - I still use the cloudy ones and the work fine, just have to test cables I make with them prior to use.
Cool have fun with them Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
data connector
Would RecommendThe connectors is easy to connect and they work, fit the female socket nicely.
