150% failure rate this time. Bit annoyed as the last plug had the brown and white brown swapped, which I should have spotted! Ah well, no more attaching plugs to cables required for the next few months! #cat6 #ethernet

This is the tool set I have acquired over the years that works for me. In particular the crimping tool is just the best! #cat6 #ethernet

I would not recommend this crimping tool . Compared to the yellow handled front entry tool, this one is difficult to use. Getting the RJ45 plug into the head to crimp is a struggle which is the critical point in crimping. The orientation of the yellow handled tool seems to be better as well. #cat6 #ethernet
