Hi,
I am rewiring part of my home with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and purchased a spool of CAT7 cable which is 22AWG diameter. I am having problems finding RJ45 connectors that can use 22AWG cable. I've made two ebay purchases of RJ45 connectors. Apparently these sellers are not always telling the truth and none of them are able to use 22 AWG wire.
Anyone have suggestions? I can make a standard CAT5 cable in under 2 minutes with the crimp tool but this 22AWG CAT7 cable is driving me nuts.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

I think it has to do with frequencies : if you get TV via your Ethernet network and satellite, some of the channels are not available with Cat5 or even some Cat6 (more explanation on Câble Ethernet : Grade 3 ou Catégorie 6 ? - Réseau VDIRéseau VDI[^], in French) because the cable will act as a low-pass filter and filter our your channels.
For data, I am with you, 1Gbps is much already ; however 4K TV @60fps is 3840x2160/60p ~12 Gbit/s, so...

Well,
Not from that particular seller but the connector looks exactly like one of the two types I am using. See the little square "Load Bar" in the background? That's the part unable to fit the 22AWG wire. I've tested it with 24AWG and it fits perfectly.

are you surprised?
try newegg, at least being USA based they are more likely to be honest (well that's the theory anyway.). I'm not sure of your specific need but they do have a wide range of items.

Hi,
I don't really understand how they can claim to accept a 22 AWG wire... the product page contains the following:
Accepts: 22-24 AWG solid cables (bare conductor diameter from 0.50-0.58mm, outside diameter from 5.0-8.5mm)
Even though a 22 AWG wire is 0.65mm diameter. The two statements are paradoxical. The maximum diameter they support would be a 23AWG wire at 0.58mm
Best Wishes,

Could be a typo in the description, might want to email them to double check.
They do stand behind their products (I know from personal experience).
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Today is Left Hander's Day. My daughter is left handed, and is proud to be so.

So where are the left-hander pride marches, the left-hander clubs, the pro-left-hander indoctrination? Inquiring left-handers wish to know!

And we need fairer representation in the media and more empowerment. Not that they will earn any money from me when they make that kind of movies. Thank god they would never put such ideas over a good story.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I'm currently bored writing technical specifications to attend any left-hander pride marches.
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

Marching with pride[^] is not so easy. First I had to learn that myself and then I got my turn to prepare similar occasions.

Is it? My mom, older brother, and myself are all southpaws!
Wait... I missed the last meeting, did we decide if that is a rightist slur for our glorious left-handed brethren or not?
