BTW, these guys are a great source for Sentinel connectors (can't vouch for
how competitive they are on price):

Also, my limited experience with Sentinel connectors is to use their crimp
tool or at least a high quality one, or you could bend the contacts instead
of driving them straight down.
Also another quality brand is Stewart, they make L-Com's modular plugs. In
the past I have used this somewhat unique shielded plug, it requires a
special crimp tool for the ferrule. I stopped using it because Belden 1300a
is a little too large overall diameter to fit without a struggle.

What is everyone using for shielded and unshielded cat-5 connectors and
where are you getting them? We currently use mostly EZ which are very
expensive. For anyone else using EZ what is the cheapest source you have
found for them?
