Why are you going into the connector? Terminate the cable and that's the end of it.

I have a bunch of APs, BHs, cameras, etc on the tower with cat5/rj45. Those come down the tower. What do you terminate to? How do you organize them? I prefer terminating to rj45 and not a punch block, but maybe that would be better if the general consensus goes that way. My problem now is that going into an rj45ecs is nearly impossible to open up when you can't get your fingers around all of it, so when there are many tightly done together you're screwed.
