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. Review: Works well! - Excellent cat8 connectors ## Features - Shielded Cat8 Ethernet Connector: The Cat 8 RJ45 connectors terminate shielded Cat 8 Ethernet cable for switch, server, and data center network links.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters 6-Pack Tool Free Shielded RJ45 Cat 8, Cat8 Field Termination Plug, Cat8 Connector, Cat8 Plug - Cable Matters Easy Crimp Tool for Cable Matters Cat8 (Cat 8) Shielded Metal Keystone Jacks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/52672521-cable-matters-40gbps-6-pack-tool-free-shielded-rj45-cat](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/52672521-cable-matters-40gbps-6-pack-tool-free-shielded-rj45-cat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
