Default Cat 5 wiring

Greetings Again All,
Am I the only one who has a hard time crimping connectors onto cat 5
cable? I have a cat 5 crimping tool and follow the instructions, but
my success rate is pretty low. Any hints??? Thanks, Mark


If it's any help, you only need four of the eight connectors for computer
work. Also, once the connector checks out, we fill the back of the connector
with hot glue.

We finally gave up on that **** (unless it's a really long run) and buy
cables from Cyberguys.
