I actually bought these for my son in order to find out why his Cat6 cable wasn't able to be terminated. He has his own electrical installation business and puts in a fair bit of ethernet cable and recently purchased some high quality Cat6 shielded for a job.
When the cable rocked up it seemed more Cat6A than Cat6 although the markings didn't necessarily make that clear. Anyway, I said I'd make some stuff up as he was busy and as such I quickly realised my usual go to Cat 6 plugs didn't match and thus the cable he bought was indeed Cat6A or Cat7. Mind you there is no actual industry standard for Cat7 so whenever you see that stated it's anyone's guess what you get.
Anyway, these plugs worked a treat. The took the larger cross sectional area cable easily so no problems there. The style isn't my personal favourite as these come with a small insert which, you slide the strands into first before inserting into the plug. I prefer the straight push in and hope type...
The strands will protrude out so it does make checking the cable positions easier and whilst I may not prefer this type, they work well and I do know folks who prefer this style.
They come with an earthing tang which, makes bonding the earthing sheath easy - a big plus.
Overall, high quality plugs.
