In this review of the 1000 Pcs Pass Through CAT5e RJ45 connectors from UbiGear the bottom line is straightforward: these bulk pass-through plugs are for network technicians and installers who need a fast, verifiable Cat 5e termination method. The single biggest reason to buy is the pass-through design that lets wires protrude through the front so a technician can visually confirm proper wiring order before crimping, speeding up batch terminations and reducing rework on structured cabling runs.

Key Features

  • Pass-through design: Allows wires to be inserted through the connector and out the front so the installer can verify the wiring order easily.
  • Improved electrical performance: Pulling the connector over the cable jacket seats it tightly in the rear, optimizing the termination's electrical integrity.
  • Reduced untwist length: The design reduces the distance between wire twists and contacts which helps preserve Cat 5e performance.
  • Batch quantity: Supplied in a 1000 piece count which is convenient for installers completing multiple terminations without frequent reordering.
  • Cat 5e compatibility: Intended for use in Cat 5e compliant data networks and suitable for typical Ethernet installations.

Who It's For

These connectors are aimed at professional network technicians, IT setup crews, small commercial installers, and advanced DIYers who terminate many Cat 5e cables and value speed and error reduction. The pass-through feature makes it easy to confirm wiring before crimping, which is particularly useful on long runs or when doing repetitive terminations.

Those who should look elsewhere include users working with thicker aftermarket conductors: wires of 23 AWG and above cannot pass through these plugs, so projects requiring heavier gauge conductors need a different connector type. Also, if you need specialized shielded RJ45 plugs or Cat6/Cat6a performance, choose connectors rated specifically for those categories.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Pass-through style enables quick visual verification of the wiring order before crimping.
  • Seating the connector over the cable jacket tightens rear contact and helps electrical performance.
  • Bulk 1000 count reduces interruptions during large installs and offers cost efficiency.
  • Designed to minimize untwist distance which helps meet Cat 5e network requirements.

Cons

  • Not suitable for 23 AWG and thicker conductors because those wires cannot pass through the connector.

Our Verdict

For installers who terminate many Cat 5e cables, the UbiGear 1000 pack of pass-through RJ45 connectors represents strong value: the pass-through design speeds verification and reduces errors, and the bulk quantity keeps jobs moving. Avoid these if you require thicker 23 AWG conductors or higher category ratings, but for standard Cat 5e work they are a practical, cost-effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can 23 AWG wire pass through these connectors?
No. Wires 23 AWG and above cannot pass through the connector; use thinner conductors or a different plug for heavier gauge wire.

Are these connectors suitable for Cat 6 or Cat6a installations?
They are designed for Cat 5e compliant networks; for Cat 6 or Cat6a you should select plugs specifically rated for those categories.

Why use pass-through plugs instead of standard RJ45 plugs?
Pass-through plugs let you verify wiring order visually and reduce untwist length, which speeds termination and can improve reliability in Cat 5e runs.

Editor's Take

GearMustHave editorial rating: 4.3 out of 5. GearMustHave Editorial Rating

These 1000 pass-through Cat 5e RJ45 connectors are a practical, cost-effective choice for installers who need fast, verifiable terminations; they speed work and help preserve Cat 5e performance but do not accept 23 AWG or thicker conductors.
