Friend works for a company who does various networking things. They’re losing big long-term contracts because the super-enterprise RJ45 network jacks they sell aren’t available.

It’s obviously ludicrous and I can’t remember the specifics except it seemed very different from my efforts at crimping a cable.

A brief search alerts me to the presence of Cat 6A to Cat 8 shielded pass-through design with triple prong gold plated contacts, supporting POE++. Does your connector have integrated magnetics? Led indicators? Are they ruggedised? No? You’re losing out.
