Design & Build
The defining feature of this "Perforation" connector is the Through-Hole design. Unlike standard connectors where the wire stops inside the plug, this design includes an open slot at the front end. This generally allows the installer to push the wire completely through the connector.
Termination Process
The pass-through method typically offers a visual verification step:
Preparation: Strip the cable jacket and untwist the pairs.
Arrangement: Arrange the wires according to the T568A or T568B standard.
Insertion: Push the wires through the connector body and out of the front slot.
Verification: Visually check the order through the connector body and the front slot to ensure the sequence is correct.
Crimping: Use a standard pass-through RJ45 crimping tool to cut the wires flush and seat the contacts simultaneously.
Compatibility
This connector is generally designed for CAT5E and CAT6E UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables. It typically supports both solid and stranded conductors ranging from 23 to 24 AWG. The design allows for effective near-end crosstalk (NEXT) cancellation, maintaining the integrity required for Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.
Key Advantages
Reduced Waste: Lowers the number of terminations failed due to incorrect wire sequencing.
High Reliability: The gold-plated contacts generally provide a durable connection resistant to corrosion.
Time Efficiency: The visual verification step typically speeds up the termination process for large installations.
Application Use
This connector is generally used for creating custom-length patch cables on-site, repairing broken RJ45 ends on solid core cabling, or installing structured cabling. It is recommended to verify the compatibility of your crimping tool with "Pass-Through" connectors before use, as standard crimpers usually require a specific slot for the blade to cut the protruding wires.
