Product Description
This is a shielded RJ45 pass-through connector built for terminating Cat6 network cable, including the runs behind CCTV IP cameras. It uses the 8P8C (8-position, 8-contact) layout found on standard Ethernet plugs.
Pass-through means the eight conductors are fed all the way through the front of the connector before crimping, so you can see the wire order lined up and check it's correct before you commit. That one check is what cuts down mis-wired patch leads on site.
What to check before ordering
- Cable type: works with solid or stranded Cat6 conductors — confirm which your cable is before terminating.
- Tooling: needs a crimping tool that suits pass-through connectors, since the trimming step differs from a standard crimp.
- Shielding: the housing is metal-shielded, aimed at reducing electromagnetic interference on the run — worth using where cable sits near power lines or heavy electrical equipment.
Where it's used
Fits general Ethernet termination work, CCTV IP camera installs, and structured cabling jobs — anywhere you're making up your own Cat6 leads rather than buying them pre-terminated.
This is a connector only, not a length of cable, and it's compatible with standard RJ45 crimping tools built for the 8P8C format.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with stranded Cat6 cable, or only solid core?
Both — it's suitable for solid and stranded Cat6 conductors.
What does 'pass-through' actually mean here?
The wires extend all the way through the front of the connector, so you can check the order is correct before crimping.
Can I use my normal RJ45 crimper with this?
It's compatible with standard RJ45 crimping tools, though pass-through connectors are generally terminated with a tool that trims the excess wire during the crimp.
Is this connector shielded?
Yes, it has a shielded metal housing intended to improve protection against signal interference.
