Re: [WISPA] RJ-45 and crimpers
Personally, I think the secret is not the connector, but just need a good undamaged Crimper. They do wear out, and I find that most connector failures are due to the Crimper itself. I do it the old fasion way, with shielded jacks. It works every time. But then again, I'd still be using MSDOS, if the software industry didn't force me to change :-) Tom DeReggi RapidDSL Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband - Original Message - From: George Rogato [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 5:52 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] RJ-45 and crimpers Funny, I can do them both in about the same time.

Re: [WISPA] RJ-45 and crimpers
We have had a number of EZ connectors fail. Most/all the ones I saw fail were traced back to a EZ crimper that when replaced went away. Not all the pins would sink. An installer said we also had a bad run of EZ connectors once. There not perfect and are certainly pricey. There about all we use now though. Matt Time George, time.

RE: [WISPA] RJ-45 and crimpers
The Ezs are great when up on a tower or in a big hurry. You are just about 100% sure its done right. The cable tester is merely an exercise. Too bad they don't have a shielded one. BTW- I looked up the patent. Its assigned to Paladin tools, the only ones who also make the crimper. I spoke to them about the cost of the connectors at a show in Orlando and they pretty much could have cared less. I say: wait until the Chinese clone them, then watch the prices.

Re: [WISPA] RJ-45 and crimpers
Can these be easily used with gloves on?

Re: [WISPA] RJ-45 and crimpers
I use the shielded connectors from Cables To Go.. They seem to work well enough but they are definitely a PITA. I use actual shielded RJ-45 or shielded Keystones and even Shielded Patch Panels that are then grounded outside via copper ground rod. In my application it is grounded via the Patch Panel however if it were just going from a CPE/AP to a switch/computer i don't think it would be properly grounded? Anyhow just some food for thought.

Re: [WISPA] RJ-45 and crimpers
The stuff we use to go up the tower is either a heavier gage copper or a thicker insulation on the conductor. Maybe both. I use the ez's there always. It's easier to terminate and I'm that much more comfortable knowing I went the extra step to have no problems or issues. On customer premises stuff, I use the typical connector and don't have any problems.
