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


It isn't standard practice to wire as you described. You run solid CAT5
to the jack and punch it down. Then you use a patch cable to connect to
whatever device is being used on that jack.
