Completely agree. Replacing the cutting blade is a big part of
solving problems. When it is dull, it pushes the wire ends down and
doesn’t provide a clean cut. If we have problems with the ends, it is
those longer ends/tails shorting together most often. Plus they
don’t fit into the jack as well. A good, sharp blade on the correct
crimping tool makes a big difference.

GAM - You need crimpers specific to the feed through connectors and
the cutting blade needs to be replaced regularly.
The outside cable jacket needs to be under that tab - one of the
issues I am trying to solve with different connectors.

I bought a bag of through the connecter connectors once a long
time ago. I tried to cut the wires with a flush cutter wire
dykes. Too much wire still stuck out the end to plug into the
jack. Even tried sawing the end with a sharp pocket knife, even
tried a razor blade, no such luck. Barely enough to feel is too
much, still won't fit. Tossed the bag and bought a different style.
Another problem I've had is old "tough " cable brand LAN cable.
Cables I made up 6 years ago the cable jacket has shrunk and
pulled out of the connectors leaving as much as 3/4 inch between
cable jacket end and connector. Looks like a fitting put together
by an amateur. What brand is outdoor cable rated (with metal foil
and ground wire) that the jacket material does not shrink?
In addition, the crimper I'm using has a tendency to short the
wires together where they fit under the jacket when the plastic
edge comes into contact with the jacket (during crimping), this
really sux. Perfect looking fittings on both ends, one or both
are shorted out. The only fix I've found is to try to undo the
twist of the wires below where the jack covers under where the
plastic captures the cable. Maybe I need 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.

Tried to find that this morning to put

Streakwave. My guy is out of the
office today, though. And 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.

We tried Arc/Ubnt/Netonix in
