I've tried a lot of tips and these are great. Quality product, easy to install and durable.

Great easy to use .

I installed over 60 of these ends on two dozen runs of CAT5e shielded cable (STP) for a digital audio distribution network. I tested all cable runs after installing these connectors and they checked out great - mind you I'm not a novice at making custom CAT cables with RJ45 male connectors.
I had a standard RJ45 connector tool and these shielded plugs fit the tool and crimped together just as easy as a non-shielded cables I made up in the past. This was my first time doing CAT5e shielded connectors and it went great.
The photo is from an actual cable end from this installation. I heat shrunk a yellow and black tubing over the white jacketed CAT5e cable.

exactly as described, and cheapest prices around

I'm an Internet service installer and I go through hundreds of these plugs. I've found only one or two out of maybe a thousand with defects (like missing contacts). They are every bit as good as the ones the big boys sell for an order of magnitude more money. This is my go-to plug for shielded work.

these are well worth the price. pay attention to stranded vs. solid wire and realize while you should be purchasing the HQ kind that handles both in ways the other's simply don't

Works with shielded round cat6 cable. Able to use standard connector crimp tool.

These plugs are excellent for all cable types, shielding is easy to use with FTP cable; love them !

I've not had one bad connection or crimp or loose fitment with these. I use a simple crimp tool, (old and worn) with no issues. Multiple purchases between March and June, maybe I've been lucky with good batches?

PROS: Good fit, solid connection on both solid and stranded so I don't have to carry both types. With the metallic jacket, these stand out so that I can tell if I or one of my guys installed or re-crimped the cable.

CONS: None so far. I've been through a couple hundred already and will order more.

I could not get a make a good cable with these heads. I tried multiple types of cat 5,5e, krimpers and still the cannot get a cable to pass on my tester. Also the cable sheath pinch breaks off every single time no matter what i do.

PROS: None

CONS: Inconsistent quality and failed to get one good cable out of twenty tries
