These are great. But bewarned making cables is a lot harder than it looks.

Should have given more weight to the reviews I read regarding these plugs. Just finished a small job installing a few access points in the ceiling and stopped using them after the first 8. I went to the computer room, plugged in the new cables we created to the switch, saw the link lights come on, then went to visually inspect the access points. 2 of them didn't show any lights. I walked backed to the server room, checked the switch and sure enough, 2 of the plugs popped out of the switch because the tabs on these plugs don't hold. They don't open far enough to "snap" in, so they just kinda sit there until they get pushed out from the force of the pins inside of the switch port. If you're a professional, STOP don't use these, they'll make you look bad when they pop out of the switch or whatever device you have plugged in and you'll have to come back and reinstall new plugs that work.

nice

I've used a little over a dozen of these so far, and though each one has successfully connected to each of the wires on both ends on the first try, the clips are too weak. The clips don't hold the cable in the ethernet port, they would just slide out if if the cable was pulled even just a little. I had to use the relief boots instead to prop up the clip so that the cable would stay in the port. It's not the way it's supposed to work, but they are holding in place for now.
