Works well with Cat5e and Cat6. Have used ideal brand networking equipment quite a bit and are good quality.

These 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.

For 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.

I 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.

It would be bad enough if my only complaint was that these modules are slightly too big and have to be forced into ports. They will not even go in at all in one of my Netgear switches. But the worst part is they are useless anyways. I went through all 10 in the pack, not one will pierce all the wires inside. It looks like others had luck so I guess I have a bad batch? either way I won’t take that chance on buying new ones. staying away from Ideal for this product in the future.

I bought a ten-pack to make a few patch cables. Of the ten connectors in the package, three of them were defective. Inside the connector there are supposed to be eight channels which guide the individual wires into the appropriate position under the pins. On three of my connectors those channels were missing. That made it impossible to use the connector. If it had been a single connector I would have just blown it off to a glitch in the manufacturing process. But when 30% of the connectors are defective, it’s not a glitch. See the picture below. The connector on the left is the defective one. You can see (barely) that the connector on the right has little channels in it to guide the wires. The one on the left doesn’t.
So, I was only able to make three patch cables instead of five. I have one good connector and three bad ones. I guess I’ll have to try to return these, even though I’ve used 60% of them. I’m not sure how will handle that.

Ideal 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.

I am so glad that carries these. When I asked the guy in the area, he didn’t think you carried them. We looked for them together and didn’t find them. I was so bummed because that meant that I would either have to hunt them down at another store (good luck with that in Franklin, IN) or order them online and put mu project on hold. I decided go go back to the aisle one last time before I headed to checkout and as if God himself had smiled down on of Franklin (and me) there they were! They weren’t even a foot away from where we had looked. I was so excited that I tried to hunt the guy down to show him where they were but he must’ve taken a break because he was nowhere to be found. The moral of the story here is if you want it bad enough, has it! I just love happy endings; don’t you? By the way the RJ45 connectors work great!

You can rely on these connectors. They will last forever. The gold plated ends ensure low resistance and after using all 25 I did not have one fail or one bad jack in the entire pack like other vendors. I have been using them in my laptop every day and the ends have stayed in good shape and don’t seem to wear out from the constant flexing. If you are cabling an office or just making patch cables and you need really good jacks you can rely on this is what you want. You can get boots for the cables but if you cut the wires correctly you can securely fasten the cable into the jack without the boot. Don’t waste money on cheap connectors. Do the job once and do it right. These jacks are “IDEAL” for any job large or small.

I 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.

These 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.

Our local store has made a big deal about in-store pickup of on-line orders, including reserved parking spaces and a section inside the store dedicated to order pickup. So I thought I’d give it a try to see how it all works. On a Saturday morning, I ordered these IDEAL RJ45 ends on-line to be picked up by me later that same day. I had many things to do, so I went about my business, waiting nearly 3 hours for the order to be prepared. I received no order updates in that time, but I figured after 3 hours, the order for this one item should be more than ready for me to pick up. I drove to our local and stood at the order pickup counter for a minute or two for someone to show up. This nice lady showed up and asked me for my order number. After about a minute, she finally found the order and mentioned that the item had not been retrieved and the order was not yet finished. I offered to go get the item, because I knew exactly where they are in the store, but I wanted to try out the on-line order in-store pickup. She said she’d go get it, so I waited another 2-3 minutes for her to retrieve the item. Once she returned, it took her another 3 minutes for her to finalize the order so I could sign the order papers and take my item. All-in-all, the in-store pickup took me longer than it would’ve normally taken for me to go and buy the item as I normally would. Our local seems to have a ways to go before this system will actually save customers time. Which, I would assume, is the whole purpose of the in-store pickup, isn’t it?

I have used these plugs for several years. They work well, are easy to use, and are well made.

Just 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.
