100 Easy Fit RJ45 Pass Through Connectors EZ Cat5e Modular Crimp

A pass-through (or EZ) RJ45 lets each conductor stick out the front so you can verify wire order and trim flush after insertion — that makes terminations faster and reduces wiring mistakes compared with traditional plugs where you have to judge wire length inside the plug.

Yes — properly manufactured EZ Cat5e connectors are made to the Cat5e component standard and will meet Cat5e performance when used with Cat5e cable and crimped correctly. Look for brands that state ETL/standards compliance for peace of mind.

You can use a standard RJ45 crimper, but the fastest, cleanest results come from a pass-through/EZ crimp tool that seats and trims in one action. Using the right tool greatly reduces wasted crimps and failed terminations.

Most EZ Cat5e pass-through plugs work with both solid and stranded 24–23 AWG twisted-pair cable, but always check the product spec (some cheaper plugs are optimized for one or the other). If you mix cable types, test one cable first.

Strip the outer jacket ~12–15 mm, fan pairs to the correct colour order, push all wires fully through so they protrude slightly at the front, check the colour order, then crank the crimper (or EZ tool) and trim the protruding ends flush. Finish by testing with a cable tester—don’t skip the tester.

It depends on the connector. Many unshielded, simple EZ plugs are not recommended for high-power PoE because of contact design and tolerances; however, higher-grade shielded/triple-prong plugs are manufactured to support PoE++ (802.3bt) and higher power levels. If you plan to run PoE, pick a connector explicitly rated for it.

Not reliably. Cat6 conductors are usually thicker and Cat6 plugs have a slightly different interior. If you might use Cat6/6a, buy pass-through plugs specifically labelled for Cat6 to avoid poor contacts or reduced performance.

Top slip-ups: not seating wires fully (gives intermittent contacts), using the wrong gauge (loose fit), over-stripping the jacket (weakens pair twist), and not using a proper crimper (bent pins or uneven crimps). Small habits = big reliability gains.

A 100-pack saves cost per plug and is ideal for installers or anyone making multiple cables — you’ll also have spares for mistakes. Many reputable brands sell 50/100 jars so you can pick the pack that matches your workload.

Keep jacket length consistent (12 mm), use a short-nose stripper or blade, always visually confirm the colour order before crimping, use the matching strain relief if included, and run a simple continuity/twist pair tester after every batch. If you’re doing dozens of cables, an EZ crimp tool + tester is the time (and headache) saver.
