would this work for cat 5 cables? are they easy to crimple?
Asked by enzo August 28, 201410
AnswersYes
Are these best for solid or stranded cable?
Asked by khatx May 3, 20165
AnswersSolid
What is the easiest way to insert the wires in the proper order?
Asked by joe January 19, 20165
AnswersI strip about an inch of the outer jacket off. Then separate the 4 pairs and use the jacket tube that I stripped off to unfurl the pairs. Roll the wires across your fingers to straighten them out. Then arrange in pairs in a fan fashition: wht/org - solid org - wht/grn - solid blue - wht/blue - solid green - wht/brn - solid brown. Finally, I sort of squish the wires flat between my thumb and forefinger and use the tool to trim right at the edge of my thumb. While still squishing the wires, slowly slide into the connector and watch that the wires don't switch positions as they insert. It's pretty easy once you've done a few.
Do these work with Cat6 cables?
Asked by Jason July 3, 20165
Answers"Work"? Yes. Full speed Gigabit? Possibly not. I'd suggest getting ones that say Cat6 on the packaging.

Went on easy to my CAT 5E cable, plugged into the UTOPIA modem and my router with no issues. It also allowed the full 360 Mbps that was accidentally set up instead of my 250 Mbps paid for service. After several plugs and unplugs over the last week, no CONs to report.

Uniform RJ45 plug kit

This RJ45 plug was easy to insert cabling and then punch down for a durable RJ45 end and tab to an ethernet cable. As long as the tab is intact and sturdy, the cabling will stay inserted in its receptacle for a long time.

Make sure to use an Ideal brand crimper for the best results. Once you get the hang of setting up the wires to be crimped in the plug you'll get the best results and a long lasting crimped end.
