    Erm, so I bought all the equipment showed in this video, I even orderd that cable checker off eBay. Any idea why the checker skips the first number when checking? I even checked a factory made patch cable and it does the same with it. I know the light works because it lights up when testing a crossover cable. Any ideas?

    contd 2) I finally intentionally broke off that stop, so I could make the initial length to stripe about 2 inches. But nicking inner wire insulation still a prob.
    BUT THE MAIN TIP YOU SHOWED was, order of untwist, and specifying “always start with the white-striped” wire of the pair. That makes all the difference.

    I spent hours, then finally came & saw your video. really well done, at a good pace, and repetition was perfect. 5 stars!

  18. quicksite Says:

    contd: The stripper …
    contd: The stripper portion of the “all-in-1″ crimper created 2 huge problems for me, which were totally eliminated with your stripper. (a) it has 2 razors, one either side of opening, but nowhere near as precise as your roll-around tool, which for you made it perfect, with no internal wire skins nicked. (b) My tool’s stripper opening had a “stop” about a half inch from stripper blades. So this method expected me to do the whole wire separation and ribbon squeeze with 1/2″ length.

  19. quicksite Says:

    Great job… After …
    Great job… After reading a bunch of very good how-to’s, and practicing a few times, I had the hardest time completing what should be, as you’ve show, such a simple task.

    Now I see why: (a) your tools are better than mine. My hardware store sold supposedly a high quality crimper to me, and I had them show me the various elements.

    (b) HUGE difference: You have a wire stripping tool I’ve never seen before, and certainly wasn’t explained to me. The crimper has a built-in wire stripper.

    No your hand isn’t strong enough. All the gold connectors have to pushed heard enough to penetrate the wire.

    eBay, Home Depot, all over

    Prices can range from $10 to $100 depending on the quality.
    Ratching crimping tools are the most expensive, but for a home user you can pick up a decent quality one for $20.

    Technically you could but for all practical purposes no. My guess is you would destroy many RJ45 connectors trying and probably end up with many faulty connections too.
