The generic name for the connectors that have holes to feed wires through looks to be "Pass Through RJ45". And the reason I'm selecting these right now is because they allow for the shield + drain wire to be pushed as deep as possible into the connector. The ones we used to use (TC-CON by UBNT) have blind holes, and you'd have to cut the conductors to just the right length, otherwise you couldn't get the shield in there. So we gave up on shield contact and crimped drain wire only. But that left suboptimal mechanical connections between the cable and RJ45. If you're buying crimping gear for these, buy the genuine Platinum Tools crimper (~$100), and to go with it, the Klein Tools VDV110-261 stripper (~$15). 1 turn of that stripper takes off the jacket, but doesn't cut the shield at all. --Bart On 6/24/2020 12:50 PM, Darcy Buskermolen wrote:

total rat hole, is "STP" the term for the new connectors that pushes the wires all the way through the end of the connector?
no STP = Shielded Twisted Pair. UTP = Unshielded Twisted pair (UTP is what you have on the cables that come with all of your household networking gear)
EZ45(tm) is the tradename for the push wire through the connector

Seems a little high for 1 rj45 connector. I’m assuming that is for a package?
Yes that is a package of 50 male STP RJ45 connectors
