I thought that too, but where we used them, it has not seemed to be an issue. I would say, if you’re concerned about that, put a dab of dielectric grease in the jack.
I think the thing to watch out for with the EZRJ plugs is that the blade in the crimp tool cuts off the wires cleanly at the end of the plug. You don’t want the crimper to get old and dull, that’s probably true in general, but especially with this particular plug. I think maybe they sell replacement blades. The main advantage of them is probably that any idiot can get the jacket securely under the strain relief. I’ve seen many plugs installed by competing WISPs where the jacket is not in far enough and the wires are going to break if the cabled gets flexed. Also for people like me who have trouble seeing up close in dim light, it’s almost impossible to get the pinouts wrong. That said, my techs are fine with the regular plugs so that’s what we order.

I never liked those ice cubes. Just seemed like a liability to have the end open to the air. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 2/11/2020 5:22 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: I had trouble with EZRJ mainly with Trango, that tells you how long ago it was. The typical problem was the tab not latching. If you pushed a small flat blade screwdriver under the tab and twisted it, the tab would pop into place. I believe Sullstar (which originated the EZRJ plug and owns the patent) change the tooling to fix the problem.

FWIW, I used to have intermittent issues with the ez rj45 ends and Canopy gear, it has been close to 15 years though.

Unfortunately such problems are difficult to replicate and diagnose, I have not made headway yet in proving that hypothesis true or not. I was wondering if anyone else has seen such issues. We currently have two types of the standard Cambium gigabit "brick": N000900L001B Phihong PSA15M-300(AP) RJ45 is unlabeled inside N000900L001C Cambium Networks (OEM is CWT) NET-P15-30IN RJ45 sys GLGI inside.
