I don't know. I've always bought RJ45 plugs for stranded cable. I'd 
expect that if you could see the IDC piercer it would have a spike 
going through the middle, but I don't know how you'd see that. 

I've just (today) received a catalogue with some RJ45 plugs (made by 
AMP) recommended for use with either solid or stranded cable.
You'd probably get useful information by asking the manufacturer, 
AMP -- I don't have their details, but expect they're on the web.

Best wishes,
