Yeah. I bought a $45 pair of Ideal brand crimpers, and it was definitely
money well spent. I am familiar with those ratcheting ones, too. They
are nice.
The $15 that come free with a box of cable sometimes are what we WERE
using, but we were having to redo ends more often than not. It was rare

$125, I would use none other.

I am not disputing that at all. What I was saying that mesh is a
routing mechanism and as such is used on the backhaul and microcell to

No the problem with Mesh is it adds many hops to the path, therefore adding
significant latency, and inability to control QOS, or identify where the QOS
lies. Self interference is impossible to avoid without killing every other
