About This Product

The IDEAL family of Feed-Thru products has expanded to include a new shielded modular plug connector. This single piece 8P8C RJ-45 connector is designed to work with cable conductors ranging from 22 to 24 AWG solid with an overall insulated diameter of 0.040 in. Dia - 0.048 in. per conductor, typically found in shielded CAT6A/6/5e cables. The single piece Feed-Thru design simplifies the challenges faced when assembling and terminating twisted pair cables with larger diameter conductors, over 0.041 in., when use of a standard in-line connector is not an option.

Questions & Answers

Will a normal cat 6 crimper work with this
ByJul 24, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Probably not. A normal crimper won't trim the wires that feedthrough. You can usually use a feedthrough crimper on a non-feedthrough plug, but not the other way around.

    Got the job completed
    I was doing a job with burial outdoor Cat6 shielded cable 23 AWG and it was thicker than the other outdoor cables. I tried the regular Cat6 RJ-45 connectors and did not fit in the feed holes. Decided to give these a try and it fit perfectly, without any issues.

      Really like these!
      These are the easy to wire and for me really speed up the process. The design is different than other pass through connectors I’ve used. Instead of having to line up the wires to go through holes, they use what I would call a zigzag slot that simplifies the process. Also like the strain relief is a real plus. They also work with Cat 6a (plus 6 and 5e).

      Took 3 attempts to get a working cable. 1st end left wires 5,6,7,8 open. It failed to pierce half the wires. Had to cut it off and try again. Expensive little failures. Otherwise the pass-through terminators are nice. A lot easier to get set up than the standard ends.

      Not a fan of feedthrough connectors, they sometimes damage patch panels.

      Response from Ron KipperMar 27, 2026
      Thank you for the feedback. Feed‑through connectors are a style preference and are not required for all installations. When installed properly and paired with compatible patch panels, IDEAL feed‑through modular plugs are designed to meet industry standards and should not cause damage.
      We understand that some installers prefer non‑feed‑through designs depending on their workflow or hardware, and we offer multiple connector options to accommodate those preferences. If you experienced an issue you believe is product‑related, our support team would be happy to learn more and assist.

      This is a great product and would recommend it for any cat6 applications indoor or out shielded or non-shielded

      These were fantastic for setting up shielded (STP) runs to outdoor cameras and WiFi.
