RJ45 Connector/Plugs

Hi

I am aware that there are 2 types of RJ45 Plugs namely the STRANDED and SOLID cable. From a certain source of mine - it is said that the RJ45 plug for STRANDED will work on both STRANDED OR SOLID cable. The price of RJ45 for SOLID is much more than the STRANDED one,i would like to know why is this and what is the significant difference? I am asking this because its kinda strange to me why i would buy the RJ45 SOLID for SOLID cables alone which also costs more whereas i can use the RJ45 STRANDED which also works for SOLID and happens to be cheaper (could there be something we are missing or do not know) - that's all

Thank you!

Especially if you're about to make solid cables, which probably means you're building a backbone.
