Question 1

Can these be used with 26ga outdoor cat7 cable?

Accepted Answer

Dear Customer,

This RJ45 CAT7 pass through connector can be used with 23AWG, wire OD (including the insulation) from 1.35mm-1.45mm. Because AWG is the diameter of the copper core which not include insulation, but for RJ45 plugs wire OD has a greater impact. If the wire OD is too thin, the wire will slide inside the load bar, making it impossible to crimp properly, and if the wire OD is too thick, the wire will not be inserted into the load bar. So please check your cable's wire OD. If your wire OD is from 1.35mm(0.053 inch) to 1.45mm(0.057 inch) then this RJ45 plug is suitable for your network cable.
Besides, you can check the third picture on the product detail page to get the difference between AWG and wire OD.

We hope this information can help you.

Best Regards.

Question 2

gen1 vs gen2?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what you're poking at here. To my understanding, CAT 6A is CAT6A and CAT 7 is CAT 7. I'm not aware of any spec changes (Gen 1/2) once they were released.

Question 3

Looking for a similar connector for AWG 26 cable. Is there a good brand to buy?

Accepted Answer

This specific connector is for CAT 7 cabling (which is 22 or 23 AWG), so this connector is clearly not it. 26 AWG maps to older CAT 4 connectors, so I would look for a well rated CAT 4 connector it you're looking to use 26 AWG cabling. But be prepared to deal with the corresponding data speed limitation (16 Mbps). Great by 1992 standards, but a snooze fest in today's world.

Question 4

Hi, will these work with (highest speed cable) cat7 flat internet network cable ?

Accepted Answer

Dear Customer,

This CAT6A/CAT7 RJ45 Pass through connector can't be used with CAT7 flat internet network cable. Compared with the standard CAT7 ethernet cable, flat CAT7 cable with thinner core wire (wire OD, core wire including the insulation). This CAT6A/CAT7 connector can be used with 23AWG, wire OD (including the insulation) from 1.35mm(0.053 inches)-1.45mm(0.057 inches). CAT7 flat internet network cable can't meet the requirement of 1.35mm(0.053 inches)-1.45mm(0.057 inches). If the wire OD is too thin, it will slide inside the load bar, making it impossible to crimp correctly. So CAT7 flat cable can't be used with this RJ45 Pass through connector.

We hope this information can help you.

Best Regards.
