## Description

Product description Comparison Products Cat 8 Termination Plug Cat8 Keystone Jack Cat 6A Termination Plug Shielded Cat 6A Cable Cat 6A Ethernet Cable Cat 6A Modular Plug

Review: Excellent Purchase - High quality terminator plug product and easy to use with riser rated CAT8 cable. Highly recommend using Milwaukee 5 in. Mini Flush Cutting Pliers for precise trimming of the individual wires, as the well designed wire holder component on the terminator plug assembly needs them to be all very precisely lined up and all the same length for setting wire holder in place and ease of closing the plug's nicely hinged design. No specialty crimping tool needed! The only issue to note is the small shielding strip for the cable wrap could be a bit longer and is fussy to use.
Review: Fits thicker cables - I've had issues in the past with CAT7 / CAT8 cables not fitting into CAT7 / CAT8 pass-through plugs because the wires were too thick, but these work nicely! Used 2 of these on both ends of a CAT8/SR cable and they work perfectly.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Purchase
*by D***E on February 22, 2026*

High quality terminator plug product and easy to use with riser rated CAT8 cable. Highly recommend using Milwaukee 5 in.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits thicker cables
*by J***N on August 4, 2025*

I've had issues in the past with CAT7 / CAT8 cables not fitting into CAT7 / CAT8 pass-through plugs because the wires were too thick, but these work nicely! Used 2 of these on both ends of a CAT8/SR cable and they work perfectly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily and reliably installed on Cat 7a cable
*by D***N on August 12, 2018*

I've been installing these on Cat 7a cable. The cable I'm using has conductors that, at 0.60 mm in diameter, are somewhere between 22 AWG and 23 AWG. I've used these on 2.5 Gbps/POE+ links to wireless access points, for HDbaseT runs to TVs and to make patch cables connecting equipment to the patch panel in the network+A/V rack. These connectors are a pleasure to use. They come with a piece of copper tape to wrap the folded-back ground (I was taught to use copper tape with shielded cable but these are the first connectors I've used that actually include the tape), have a load bar that is easy to work with and can be squeezed shut with your fingers if you're strong or pliers if you're not. I think I've installed about 30 of these and have not yet had one fail to work. The only downside of these connectors I've found, beyond their price, is that they are quite large. The body and strain relief nut add about 2 inches to the length of the RJ45 connector itself (compared to less than an inch for a normal patch cable with a strain relief boot), and the connector body is a bit wider than the RJ45 so I can imagine that there might be ethernet switches where plugging several of these in side-by-side might be a tight fit. Then again, the cable I've been installing these on is itself quite thick (8.2 mm) and a bit stiff, so the size of the connector does not seem inappropriate. I've used and would prefer other connectors for smaller diameter shielded cable, but for larger stuff these seem ideal. I can recommend these connectors for larger cables.
