Review on πŸ”Œ Platinum Tools 100010C EZ-RJ45 Cat 6+ Connectors, Clamshell, 50-Pack by Brent Saake

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good idea, bad execution

As I'm not in the "business" I or my supervisor run Category 5 or 6 cabling. I really thought it would do my life much easier, but unfortunately it is not. Some connectors have "channels" next to the hole that lead the wires into the terminals that you crimp. They work well but can be difficult to work with thumbs. You only need to have a small amount of untwisted wire between the outer cover and the terminal, I saw these and thought "wow" works fine now with longer untwisted wires because you just snip off the excess coming through the connector goes. Unfortunately, like others I hate, these connectors don't have "guiding channels" and when you're inserting wires into a connector you really have to be careful that they don't move out of place and into the wrong place. Terminal". " End. If they had guide channels I would give them 5 starts in no time.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Communication with seller
