Customer Review: Save yourself time and aggravation - use this tool and the EZ-RJ45 connectors!
Summary: 5 Stars
We used this crimper and connectors when re-wiring our office to current specs (CAT5E and 6). Although they are more expensive than others, they save the money by making sure that the connectors are wired correctly the first time. Not only that, but you also save all that time testing out the cables when they don't work.
You simply push the wires through and you can visually inspect the wires to make sure they are in the right order, BEFORE you crimp on the connector. Simple, and brilliant!
Note, the difference in the CAT5/5E connectors and the CAT6 is that the CAT6 have room for the rounded cable with the plastic "+" wire pair separator in the center. You won't be able to use the CAT5/5E on CAT6 wire, because the wire won't fit in the connector. Likewise, CAT5/5E wire will be loose in the CAT6 connector - so, you'll need both connectors if using both wire types - but the crimper will crimp both, and also RJ11.
The built-in stripper is better used for flat (phone) cable - so get yourself a cheap grey round CAT5/6 stripper for a few bucks at Lowes - only go one revolution around the cable, then bend the cable to snap the jacket - that way you don't nick the wires inside.
