Hello and good morning,
My relatives have put the CAT 6 wire in the conduit and buried it. Unfortunately they used not so good wire, i.e. they used wire from the local hardware store
Southwire 1000 ft. Blue 23/4 CAT6 Riser CMR Cable-56918949 - The Home Depot
Unfortunately, it is already in the conduit and buried, so hopefully it will last.
There are boxes along the trench where the CAT 6 wire is accessible in order to put clips on it, and connect it to the switch etc.
Now that I have the wiring in place, I need to connect the CAT 6 wires to the cameras, which I need to get. I will begin with the crimping needs.
I know NOTHING about crimping, so I was thinking of getting;
a) Crimping tool - Klein Tools VDV226-107 Compact Ratcheting Modular Crimper - - Amazon.com
b) LAN tester tool - Amazon.com: HDE RJ45 RJ11 RJ12 Cat5 Cat6 UTP Network Cable Tester for LAN Phone Wire Test Tool: Industrial & Scientific -
c) 12 v AC to DC adaptor to plug in the cameras - As the runs are long, I will not be able to use PoE to power the cameras effectively. I do have 120v power at the locations where the cameras will be placed
I am confused as to which connectors, I need to buy. I have read a lot about the platinum EZ connectors etc. but not sure if they are worth the $$
I saw these cheaper, yet seemingly good quality connectors, should I get these?
Amazon.com: TMEZON 12 Volt 2A Power Adapter Supply AC to DC 2.1mm X 5.5mm Plug 12v 2 Amp Power Supply Wall Plug Extra Long 8 Foot Cord: Electronics
I am in a big city so can go to the electric stores if that is better than buying it online
I am hopeful that some of you super stars like @nayr @fenderman and others will guide me
many thanks
