Speaking of cables and veering off towards cable-making, I was wondering what people thought of the so-called "EZ RJ45" stuff. One of the hazards of doing long-term cut-to-length wiring is that if a crimp really goes wrong, you might mess up your artistic work or need to re-cut a new cable. Even having done as many cables as I've done, I occasionally have one go bad. The EZ stuff looks like an interesting compromise, does anyone with a few thousand crimps worth of experience with it have any comments?
They make a crimper specifically for it, which cuts of the ends. I haven't done a few thousand ends with it but it does make it slightly easier to maintain the twist further into the the plug because you can pull it until snug.
I crimp infrequently enough that I occasionally don't get a spec cable when using conventional connectors.
