I don't see how this helps as you are still crimping the collar over the second layer of tape which is covering the drain wire. Better way to do it is to ensure the collar is touching the drain wire itself. Many will choose to wrap the drain wire around the collar and then under and crimp on top of drain wire.

Very thorough and meticulous work. Good job. I have seen RJ45 connectors with open ends so that the coloured pairs go right through the ends before crimping. This ensures excellent terminator seating, removes any measurement requirement for the stripped cables and reduces the chance of any error in cable order. After crimping the excess is simply snipped off with a side cutter.

What you need to know is that are there TWO DIFFERENT connectors depending on whether you are using a solid wire cable ("backbone installation cable") or stranded ("flex patch cable"). You need to use the right connector or the cable is likely to fail, if not when you make it, later. The solid core connector has 2 to 3 prongs that are OFFSET. That allows the prongs to go over and AROUND the solid wire. The stranded connector has 1 or more prongs that are INLINE. Straight. That allows them to go IN BETWEEN the strands. If you use the INLINE connectors on the solid wire it can sever the wire or just not connect well. Google it so you know which ones to get. Even the purchase agents for the big box stores get this wrong. You need to look at the side of the connector to see the prongs. OFFSET or INLINE. No one tells you in these how too videos. Know your wire and know your connector is the key to making good cables!

Hey there @Helman Frow, always love to hear feedback! When you said “applied the heat shrink and left the wings on the external shield uncrimped and pointed outwards”, can you give us the time code of that? I will review! Everyone here is in the same space in finding the best solutions for pro AV connectivity. There are so many creative approaches!

@@helmanfrow thanks I see what you are talking about, you have an eagle eye! Prior to the heat shrinking, he shows bending the connector strain relief and then squeezing it around the cable by hand at 8:52. But I see what you mean, it wasn’t pressed on super-tightly so the points were still slightly sticking up. Liberty has an updated video of Cat6 termination here, you can see the strain relief is tightened more around the cable. kzitem.info/news/bejne/motumpWubmKBeGU

Cat6 jacks usually have staggered wires at the end. These appear to be straight and maybe Cat5e. Cat6 is usually higher gauge wire so may not make a good connection in Cat5e jacks. Cat6 wire is also has a slightly greater diameter outer jacket, which may be why he had to crimp more to get it to insert. This deformation can also slightly change the impedance as well. Also, always use some sort of anti-snag boot. Often people break off the locking tab by snagging it on something.

No they don't. Have you ever seen a staggered crimper?

If the internal pin arrangement is not staggered, can we say that it is definitely not a CAT6 plug? Is it possible the staggered format is to cater for cable size of 23AWG, as I read it somewhere?

Nice video, but I could do it without the "noise" (music) in the background.

What a great video and a great presenter! I have one question, though: how to prevent the plastic locking mechanism on top of the plug to break when in use? I have had some trouble with this previously on cat 5 installations - but what about cat 6 when installing plugs myself?

STP should be grounded. Does this termination imply that the grounding of the shielding of the cable is achieved by the contact of the connector body to the chasis? Thank you!
