As someone who is a veteran in the field... Pass through crimp heads like the ones used in the video were banned in my company. Why? Because eventually they cause connectivity issues due to shorts at the connection ends. Why? Because the person who terminated... Like in the video... Trust that his crimper cuts the wires close enough to the head.... They don't. And oftentimes your Cat 6 tester won't show you it's shorting either. While a pass through connector may have saved the initial installer time, it has cost me countless hours in service calls going back to fix them all, and the initial installer never had to deal with it. 9/10 times a connection issue was caused by one of these. Lesson... PLEASE DON'T USE PASS THROUGH CONNECTORS. However... If you absolutely must... Instead of relying on your crimper tool to trim the ends, a much better method is to use your flush cutter to trim the ends first, then PULL THE CABLE SLIGHTLY BACK from the head to make sure all the wire ends are SECURELY INSIDE the connector head. This reduces the chance of shorts dramatically.

Just learn how to properly measure the proper RJ45 connector and take some pride in your work.
@IslanderJerYT Жыл бұрын
Notes. You are technically supposed to strip the sheath, then use the cotton cord to strip a longer section of sheath which protects the cores from potentially being scored by the blade. The sheath wasn’t pushed up as far into the plug as far as I believe it should be. The reason for this is leaving the sheath so far back may allow pulling on the cable to expose the cores out the back of the plug. If the sheath is pushed up, it gets crimped along with the cores. But if it works, it works and do it the way you do it. Just slight wrongs should be pointed out if it’s an instructional video imo
@AndrewStrydomBRP Жыл бұрын
If you have an adjustable crimper then you don't need to, I use a knipex one that lets you set the blade depth, I set it so that it scores the outer insulation and then you basically just snap it off, no inner core damage.

I haven’t used the outer shell to untwist the cable pairs before but it looks like a nifty way to things. Also, I like the connectors - I have not seen them before, but the cool thing about them is that allows for a final check if the config before crimping far more easily than plugs that do not enable the cable pairs to be pushed right through it. Very cool - thanks for sharing 👍😃

Our cable manufacture sells passthrough cat5/6 RJ's and crimps so I'm happy to use them. We always fluke them, only ever have problems with cat5 as sometimes the conductors slip between slots. Also had a nightmare once when a different passthrough RJ was used on our manufactures crimps. I tend to untwist by rotating the TP, I don't bother untwisting it all just cut off what I don't need. hard to explain but I'm normally faster than most installers using this method.

Also my way of smoothing the wires is faster and easier on the thumb . Get yourseld a half inch or 3/8th wedge anchor and use the threads on the bolt . You can smooth 4 wires at once.
