You are correct, "Time is money". I find it faster to use a regular connector, but then I ALWAYS spend the time to check all connections, carryover from 42 years telecommunication work.
I invested in a Plantinum Tools EZ-RJ45 crimper and the EZ-RJ45 plugs and it was the best investment ever. I have now binned all my old rj45 plugs. Don’t even need to use a tester now as you know it just works.
I’m an amateur, and don’t put connectors on too often. Investing in the pass-thru tool and connectors has me making cables like a pro. Best investment for networking that I’ve ever made.
Guys, can I just say..THANKS !!
this thread is very timely, for me
I also felt the same pain as OP as I searched for the crimper and connectors. The reviews on amazon really leave you confusing. While I totally agree that practice makes perfect but the way some of those reviews read, it sounds like that even an experienced person will have issues with them. I trust you guys here, gonna read over this thread once more then check the budget and order the tool/connector suggested here, then practice, practice, practice.
Also, every CAT6 RJ45 connector I find has negative reviews... monoprice and amazon are the two places I've been looking. Suggestions and links would be greatly appreciated.
Gearing up for my Re-wiring of the Homestead, iv been picking up supply's here and there.
Shopping RJ45's couple weeks back, i realized i better watch my azz. what i found is worthy of another thread.
And this i shall do, couple min will post.
