The clear really "odd shaped" crystal case containing cheap cat 5e RJ45 thin one piece connectors and a single Keystone jack? And a cheap one use stripper? Did you find that case in one of your bed room drawers? Q-sitck? Sorry, couldn't resist... LMAO...I bought all of the pieces separately on Amazon and the case at Home Depot. The 550 Paracord is my add; I had a hard time deciding on orange or black. ;-)
It's in the store room Nayr...on the shelf next to the fax machine, the typewriter and the v.92 modem View attachment 14167
Your wife "put it up for you".where's da punchdown tool?
last time I got a nice case to hold about $80 worth of Anderson Powerpole connectors/crimps/tools.. then I lost the case, still havent found it damnit.
Same thing I use, it oddly gets some hate around here, dunno why.We use the Platinum EZ-RJ45 connectors at my shop so this is my crimp tool:

simple, anything that requires a special crimper and special crimps is for chumps.. I cant go to the LHS, Microcenter, Bestbuy, and pickup some more when time is money.Same thing I use, it oddly gets some hate around here, dunno why.
it's all preference, the guy who had a bunch of huisun cameras liked them fine, most other people turned their nose up. If you keep plenty of connectors around you won't have a problem, you don't wait til a hurricane shows up to stock up on food, you don't wait for the shit to hit the fan before you stock up on ammo, and it's really not a big deal to keep a cheapo crimper around in case you run out of the ez connectors. just because people like to use different stuff than you do is no reason to call them chumps, you use what you like, we will use what we like, my crimps are just as good as yours 100% of the time, i'm not sure how you can balk at that and compare it to a 90% success rate. just being a hater.simple, anything that requires a special crimper and special crimps is for chumps..

as long as you pay attention its no big deal to do it with standard tools/crimps.. I used to give lessons ad-hoc to a handfull of volunteers before setting up a big (200ppl) weekend lan party.. and ppl w/zero experience could get to a high 90% success rate after a few practice trys using the cheapest tools I could buy in bulk... then we'd rip it all up and rebuild it again 3 months later... for nearly 10 years solid heh.
Its like having a manual car vs automatic.. one is for drivers, the other is for the driven
