Always start with the cheap one, if you use it a lot AND it's end of life, purchase a better one next time. This has been my mantra throughout my life (and now have been able to have some very nice tools that'll never need replacing), prevents wasted money and that shame faced conversation with the wife 🙂

These pass through rj45s sends shivers up my spine...I've seen very expensive equipment damaged due to these not being cut at the ends properly and shorting stuff out.

The Reason the Klein Crimper didn't come with a Stripper is because it's got one Built In (Between the "Arm's")

I have an RJ45 through crimp ratchet tool with wire colours on it that I bought in 2021 for 6 pounds and it works perfectly every time. You don’t always need expensive tools Jordan.

Kline tools every time use pass through all the time never had any problems. Been doing data cabling for over 30 years

Awesome

Use the sleeve cut off and place between the twisted wires and slide it down and it stops the thumb cramp 👍

I've mostly stopped using pass through connectors and switched to modular. When I was doing passthrough I liked the ideal FT-45 but it's really gone up in price since I bought mine.

Nice thanks for sharing

4:04 - Pro tip to prevent sore fingers: use the outer sheath you just cut off, push them between the twisted pairs to unravel them rather than manually untwisting with fingers. Saves a lot of discomfort if you are terminating a few RJ45s in one sitting!

@ShaneOSullivanky 2 ай бұрын

I second this, nothing worse that sore fingers from straightening the ripples out of the cores. The cut outer plastic to straighten the cores is a great tip.

@williamsonzr 2 ай бұрын

I do this too, it's such a better way especially when crimping loads of ends - great tip

@peteryates308 2 ай бұрын

I think the RJ45 connectors with load bar are easiest to work with, I find them far less fiddly than the regular pass throughs.

At the end of the day, if you are just an electrician doing occasional data installation.. then the cheapest.. if you are professional IT installer.. then it makes sense for the expensive. My son works a IT engineer... and always takes the piss saying you sparks should always stear well away from data, just as you guys tell plumbers too, regarding electrics 😂😂

@derryhamilton9175 2 ай бұрын

Fundamentally, RJ45 is just a bit annoying to crimp, so every tool in existence pisses me off to various degrees. But the simpler version of the Klein one is my go-to as the least annoying one I've found. It works well on connectors for cat5e or cat6, solid or stranded. It was a tip from someone I know who works for an ISP.

@michaeljarcher 2 ай бұрын

Professionals shouldn't be using pass through. Signal Interference,Impedance Matching. Weaker Crimps,Potential for Short Circuits. Exposed Wire Ends. Installation Issues with User Error. Not Always TIA/EIA Compliant. Higher Cost,Tool Compatibility.

Interesting opinion

@dreamcat4 2 ай бұрын

thanks for the review! really appreciate it and so the klein is added to my shopping list. its much appreciated very grateful btw: just to be aware the amazon recommends for the connectors, can get 30pcs cat7 with boot (for 20 quid pricing is fair)... this is recommended for the modern higher 10gbe speeds, especially if its an actual decent length cable you are terminating (rather than just some very short patch cables). this because the cat7 spec and it is a properly metal shielded housing. it is necessary matters for the modern higher speeds. so yes - the specs does in fact matters these days. for which it didnt used to as much

If you like Knipex, and use their snips, why not review their all-in-one RJ45 crimp tool too? For Knipex, it's not even that expensive. Also I'd like to know who's throwing all this plastic in the sea? I agree with your point @ 17:00, that all the extra packaging is unnecessary, but unless you're collecting it all up and driving down to the coast, then, in this country at least, I imagine it either gets recycled (as mine does), or it goes in a bin 🤔
