Greetings Again All,
Am I the only one who has a hard time crimping connectors onto cat 5


I have a pair of Ideal Telemaster pliers #30-496. They are made for cat 5


NO! This ^^^^ is PART of the problem, the crimper.

Go to the Leviton, Siemon,other cabling,etc sites and they will explain how it
SHOULD be done. Think punch down. Ceimped connectors are for patch cables.
So in other words DO YOUR RESEARCH! There are also group that are dedicated
for this.
