SnapAV tech support recommended these to me for their shielded CAT6:

I'd never ordered from them, but they arrived without issue.

just wanted to let you know that i ordered these and received them a few days ago.  i had the chance to crimp a couple of them.  they fit fine.  

one very minor annoyance, is that the tiny black wire guides are kind of a pain.  they are too flimsy because they don't have separate holes for each conductor.  it is one big hole with small nubs of plastic poking down to keep each conductor separate.  this makes it tough to really keep them separate because the guide wants to expand when it is full of wires.

tough to explain, but anyone using these connectors will know exactly what i'm talking about.  maybe it is just the nature of the beast because the conductors are 23AWG and there isn't enough room for a hole for each conductor.  hopefully the snapav version isn't like this.

That was my impression too, but after doing a couple the wire guide didn't cause to much trouble.  I think you nailed it... there just isn't enough room with the larger conductors to make a stronger wire guide in the space available inside the connector.

Pleased they worked for you.
