2:15 just a quick correction; as a structured cable installer that specializes in data networks, I can tell you that you would never use wire caps on any network wiring. They can be used without issue for POTS lines but that's it. Anything above that will only use specialty jacks and punch down blocks or patch panels.

I was hoping that someone mentioned this. Network equipment can sometimes deal with runs that have been wire nutted, but wire nuts always degrade the quality of the run. At best, you'll have degraded speed. Wire nuts and other kinds of non-network connectors have a tendency to cause signal reflections and noise ingress.

Great overview on wire nuts. Just a couple of things to add. The "Greenies" take the place of an uninsulated crimp sleeve, the bane of my existence. Much easier to remove and little risk of damaging the bare grounds. After taking apart the crimp sleeve, these are great to bundle everything back. I can't understand how Ideal got the listing back for the Cu/Al purple wire nuts. No escaping that the two metals expand and contract at different rates as they heat up. This inevitably loosens them up, no matter how tightly the wires are spliced, resulting in poor contact, arcing, and burning. I've seen the new ones fail this way. Alumicons are a much better way to go, short of Copalum crimps, or getting rid of the aluminum wire altogether. Bonus fact. The Ideal version of the tan (white) wire nuts can be twisted on with a 5/16 nut driver. No special tools needed and less wear on the hand and wrist. Again, thanks for the informative video.

About 20 years ago, I took out a dusk-to-dawn yard light that was in poor condition. I abandoned the wires in the ground (UF), but to secure the end, I put direct-burial wirenuts on the ends, shoved those inside a plastic bag and taped it to the cable, shoved that through a slit in the lid of a coffee can, and buried the can (lid-down) right next to the sidewalk where I could find it again someday. That day was two weeks ago. The coffee can was dumb - it was still there, but rusted all to hell - and the bag was mostly intact but had allowed some moisture inside. The silicone inside the direct-burial wirenuts was still soft & sticky - it did not dry out at all in 20 years - and the wires inside were in perfect condition.

@colinstu
4 жыл бұрын
@@ElectricianU well ideally there are no splices with CAT5/6, always want a whole run between either a keystone plate or patch panel or terminated directly with an RJ45 connector. If a splice indeed has to be done, the smaller the splice and the fewer twists you take out of the wire - the better. Poor signal issues will force the network switch / device to autonegotiate to a slower speed - gigabit may negotiate down to 100M, a 100M connection may slow down to 10M or not work at all. They do make a number of ways of officially splicing them like with "junction boxes" "inline splice box" which are basically just very small punchdown blocks seen in a typical keystone plate or patch panel. But yeah, using anything like wirenuts, WAGOs, phone cable splice connectors, or 66/110 punchdown blocks with CAT5/CAT6 wiring for networking purposes - gonna have a bad time.
@colinstu

And it's not so much that these connectors lead to a poor mechanical signal, it's that these communications rely upon the twisted-pair nature of the wires to properly transmit the signal, if you remove twists, this signal becomes weaker or unstable.

High temperature wire nuts? I remember soldered connections. Solder, three wraps of rubber tape, and two of friction tape. I also remember when all wire nuts were “ High temperature”. I’ve seen many of these colorful thermoplastic wire nuts fail due to a poor connection causing the insulation to melt, but I’ve never seen that happen with a Bakelite molded wire nut. The Bakelite resin is thermosetting, and the better makers used ground mica for the filler, rather than wood flour. Of course porcelain wire nuts, which we also used, are impervious to any level of heat.

You mentioned cat5 and network cable several times, which could be misleading, in that networks (ethernet) is always in cable, connections, terminations, plugs, jacks, etc. that are specifically designed for that purpose and wire nuts are not used in this applications. Cat5/6 wire could be used in other non-network applications wherein wire nuts may be appropriate, although I have never found such a case.

The more I look into push in connectors the more attached I'm getting to them. Don't get me wrong I do like a clean solid twist capped off with the wire nut - but I don't understand why there should be so much controversy over them. From what I see they have advantages that should be seriously considered as another option as much as wire nuts. Advantages: - Less wear on conductors from twisting them together and needing to cut worn ends and lose conductor length in a gang box - potentially saves time over twisting conductors together - they seem to be a much better option to connect solid and stranded conductors together vs potentially damaging wires on stranded conductors from twisting - potentially saves space in your bag from linesman pliers if twisting wire is their only primary use. (I really like Klein’s hybrid needle nose pliers in this case) - May also save space from certain sizes of wire nuts Disadvantages: - controversially not as secure is twisted conductors with wire nuts - may not be reliable for secure connections in areas with vibrations from machinery, etc. - may not be the best choice for outdoor conditions - potentially pricier If anyone can think of any other advantages or disadvantages, bring it in.

Old rule of thumb I got from an older electrician... there are code inspectors that will fail any situation in which more than 4 wires are in 1 nut. I've seen it happen. There are some that would rather see 3 nuts used to daisy six wires together than have two nuts with one bridging wire. Blue that's 6+8+8 was a specific lawsuit case in reference to input amperage so you can feed two 8's off a 6 for splitting like inside roof unit air conditioners and so-forth. Also, get a crimping tool because any time you see the white crimpies they're gonna be loose and need re-crimped. They're most commonly treated as a "removable option" and not all the way on. Bet you didn't know that one.

I like to use the gray wire nuts for wiring in fan receivers in a pancake box
