They are "easy" if you have never done an RJ45 before, and you can
verify the colors easier after insertion. However, they leave the end
open for water & air intrusion. On outdoor connections, we almost always
use gel-filled cable, and when you crimp them properly, they fill the
RJ45 with gel. We like those a lot.

I've never used those. Seems like people either love em or hate em.
I imagine it must be easier to maintain the maximum untwist amount.
It seems like you could keep shoving the wires through until you only
have the 1/4" of untwisted wire you're looking for. That's pure
speculation though.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cable crimpers for RJ-45 work
I used those when I first started, I am also not a fan. I had all
kinds of problems with getting them to fit the Ethernet port on
Canopy SMs, the release tab didn't want to snap into place. Having
said that, I still have a couple of the Platinum Tools crimpers and
they work fine.

Passthrough RJ45? Or other style connectors? Only the RJ45
is done from the end. The other dies go in from the side (as
is typical).

I have a Paladin that has replaceable dies. It's a
little different in that you insert the RJ45 from the
end instead of the side. I have dies for all the usual
suspects, RJ45, RJ11, BNC, N connectors, etc.
