Re: [AFMUG] RJ45 crimpers

Jan-GAMs Fri, 05 Mar 2021 12:55:39 -0800

I bought a bag of through the connecter connectors once a long timeago. I tried to cut the wires with a flush cutter wire dykes. Too muchwire still stuck out the end to plug into the jack. Even tried sawingthe end with a sharp pocket knife, even tried a razor blade, no suchluck. Barely enough to feel is too much, still won't fit. Tossed thebag and bought a different style.

Another problem I've had is old "tough " cable brand LAN cable. Cables Imade up 6 years ago the cable jacket has shrunk and pulled out of theconnectors leaving as much as 3/4 inch between cable jacket end andconnector. Looks like a fitting put together by an amateur. What brandis outdoor cable rated (with metal foil and ground wire) that the jacketmaterial does not shrink?

In addition, the crimper I'm using has a tendency to short the wirestogether where they fit under the jacket when the plastic edge comesinto contact with the jacket (during crimping), this really sux. Perfect looking fittings on both ends, one or both are shorted out. Theonly fix I've found is to try to undo the twist of the wires below wherethe jack covers under where the plastic captures the cable. Maybe Ineed a different kind of jacket capture design in the connectors I purchase?

    We have been using the connectors from TJ and they are working
    well.   The connectors we used in the past were the Platinum Tools
    ones and were pretty expensive.   TJ’s work just as well or better
    and are better priced.

    Most all of them are gold plated to some degree, the highest is
    generally 50 micron/u of gold and some of the lowest is 3 micron
    or none.  The connectors we have made are 50u, pass thru, shielded
    with the ground lug.

     Anyone that wants a sample just send me a name and address.

            Every RJ45 mentioned in this thread so far actually come
            from the same factory, we buy them from the factory direct
            in bulk. If you can buy 1,000 pcs or more and want to save
            a bit hit me off  the list.

                        the website is broken if you search crimper.

                        If you need it right away just call someone at
                        Streakwave and ask for crimpers.  If there are
                        multiple options, ask what Imagine Networks
                        has been buying.  The new ones are blue.
