Your tip to arrange the pairs left to right in the oranges, greens, blues, and browns before untwisting them was especially useful to someone like me who doesn't put end connectors on very often. It made it much easier to get the untwisted colours in the correct order for putting on the connector itself, without them straining against each other and jumping out of sequence or refusing to get into a straight line. Thank you very much for the informative video.
Loving this video man! As a network engineer, I love your enthusiasm! We need more people like you in this world! Even though it's just cable making, it's wonderful to see hype about just the little things in our lives! Great review man, keep it up!
2:28 as a network technician, I can confidently say that that shouldn't matter. The plugs are just pins that stab into the wires and a plastic piece that clamps down on the cable to hold it in place. The design might be slightly different but for such a very very very small length (a total of 2" or less from the plug to the Jack), it simply won't have any significant or noticeable affect on performance. Or it shouldn't anyway. After all, I believe you can actually run 10 Gbps on cat 5e for 20 meters. Or something like that. At least that's what I've found out from researching information on cable manufacturers.
you right dawg, it's nothing against the dozens of meters. But sometimes cat5 Plug Holes are too smol or cat6 Plug Holes are too big/loose. But it's juuust a minute detail, like cherries on cream :)
So if I put cat 6 ends on cat 5 wire.. I’ll get cat 6 speeds.. 🤣 AV guy here. I know electrician don’t do many cat ends on a daily basis. But this method would take all day to do many ends.
I have the Ideal version of the compact modular but I also picked up this week the larger pass-thru Klein. It saves me from carrying a wire stripper and wire cutters. When I am 15' in the air hanging APs from my 12' ladder, I want as few tools as possible. :) I also have the Klein Tester/Tone kit I can switch it between tone and cable testing mode without changing cables. Klein makes great tools. Every cable I crimped with these tools certifies CAT6 on my Fluke OmniScanner.
You can also use the shears to strip pretty easily to make things faster. Don't have to switch tools then either. Set the cable between the 2 blades and rotate blades around a few times then snap off. Now you can cut the string and plastic and be onto untwisting.
Hi, so glad that you're back publishing videos again, they're always great, thank you! Just wondering if you'd be able to re-upload the Voltclaw video from before your channel got hijacked. Couldn't find a way to message you so I'm leaving this comment. Thanks again for all of your hard work and great content! Be well and stay safe!
I picked up one of the heavy duty crimpers for work along with both the Klein and some generic (PETECHTOOL) pass-thru plugs. Excellent with either kind of plug. The cable strip feature is great so I don't need an extra stripper or scissors, the color guide is nice to have, trim off evenly with the blade feature, feed them right into the plugs and quickly check that they are still in the right order. Before putting the plug into the crimper, make sure the wires are even so they fit over the cutting blade or things will get gummed up a bit.
Is this the latest from Klein? I have a free to air that has no quality I will be working on today when my new QPH-031 Invacom comes in. I believe I may have some DiSeqc I switch I need to replace. I enjoyed you video. Is there a Klein tool that will trace the coax and assist in locating them? Thanks! I subscribed!
I just got the ratching ones and Klein passthrough ends cat5E. And First the cable jacket is to thin for the stripper to work AND when I go to crimp on the end it will not cut the ends at all.
What brand of cat6 cable are you using in this video? I am thinking about buying these same pass-through connectors made by Klein, but I have read lots of reviews that sometimes 23AWG wire doesn't fit through them. It must vary by brand.
Cat 5-e and Cat 6 individual wires are different in their guage. These connectors are known as IDC or insulation displacement connectors. IDC's are engineered for a specific guage, use the wrong one and you get unreliable connections.
I don't even use land lines any more. All that was is paying $30 a month and telemarketers were the only ones who ever seemed to call that number. I finally realized one day that I was just paying $30 a month so telemarketers could call me.
Could I use this crimper for my cat7 or cat8 cables? My cat 7 cables are flat. Cat 8 are round. I just rewired my home and had to cut the connectors off to fish two fo the cables through a very tight spot. Thank you.
I am fishing cat 8 to replace cat 5 as well in my home. I would like to know more about the experience you had replacing all the cables. I am also replacing the coax in the house as well. Lots to do.
Ive had poe equipment go bad with this type of connectors they short out or kill cctv ip cameras a couple of times so even if its more difficult i use the old style also if you use a tweeker to separate the cables is a loooooot faster than the way you did it not to mention i will need a tool box to carry all the tools you used to do the crimp i will never use crimpers , lineman pliers , cable cutters , cable striper ...........
Their is a way for poe switches to use this connectors Instead cutting the wires at the time of crimping with the tools just use a flush cutter and cut the wires as flush you can to the holes them before inserting the connectors to the crimping tools pull back just a hair of the cable You should see the tips of the coppers at the end but not completely flush with the end of the holes Them you crimp this will allow proper crimping but at the same time no leakage or crosstalk or capacitance or shorts created because the copper tips to close to each other without insulation That the work around supported by the manufacturer
i was at home depot and they only sell the first klein tool you showed before you set it aside. I am debating on returning it and getting the one you show. i just need a tool for home use.
@@SparkyChannel ok thanks. I found it locally at home depot. returning the old one I have been finding videos on how it can break the lock. I am new to all of this so the simpler the better.
I tried the pass thru crimper in the past, but found a problem plugging them into some devices, especially working with radio antennas. They are just a wee bit longer and would not fit properly.
Not sure why people love the pass-through crimpers so much…I’ve seen more issues with those ends than non pass through. Might be nice for a DIY, but honestly don’t think they belong in a professional environment. Nice video though, and funny. Will definitely check out some more of your videos.
@@SparkyChannel thanks for the video. I bought that mini crimper, and strip tool. Smaller, more compact, weighs less. All a plus. I didn't even know it existed. The modular klein tool crimper is great, but lately it hasn't been cutting clean on pin 1 (orange/white) I have to pull it off the rest of the way. Is there a way to adjust the blade further down? Or is it time to sharpen it. I mean it's less than a year old lol.
Not that hard to use a regular crimper, just takes a few extra seconds to arrange the pairs and trim them properly so the proper amount of sheath is inside the modular connector.
@@jamesdavies686 not really garbage just an unnecessary expense. once you do two or three crimps with standard modular connectors you'll know how much to leave so your crimps are proper.
@@kj-marslander many times, they don’t fit when you plug them in. It’s not difficult to measure and cut for a normal connector. The instructions are usually on the box.
Great video and very informative. But I have a question on your facts. You stated with a 5e rj45 connector on a cat6 cable, you will get the performance of 5e. I thought the way the cable was built is what made the difference and not just the connector. So are you saying otherwise? Or was this a mistake?
@@SparkyChannel Yes that is true, but the difference between CAT5e and CAT6 is the diameter of the cable inside the jacket and the way they are wrapped together. The reason there is a different rj45 connector is that there is a possibility of the CAT5 connector not fitting the CAT6 wire. It will not reduce the speed of the cable, that's all I am pointing out. But with all that being said, you have a great video and have a very easy to follow directions with the use of these crimpers. I also bought a pair of these and that is how I came across your video for the simple directions you provided. Sorry, I get wrapped up in the details at times.
@Sparky Channel is correct. Per the 568 standard, the components (cable, plugs, jacks) have to match to assure transmission performance. Crosstalk often happens at the connector side of the cabling system. Just makes sense to use CAT6 connectors for CAT6 cable. I would even say ensure you have CAT6 components (marked in accordance with ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 Section 5.7.6) if the scope calls for CAT6, or if the scope calls for Gigabit (1000BaseT) or 10Gbit (10GBaseT) IEEE standards to be met. Caveat: CAT6 for 10G max is 55 meters. I agree with you that Bill's Sparky Channel is informative!
basically, off the record, using a 5E connector on CAT 6 probably will have 99-100% CAT 6 performance. But officially, on the record, they say don't expect above 5E performance. So they indemnify themselves by saying that, and maybe sell more connectors
I have cat 6a cable and like the idea of a pass-thru crimper. Do I need cat 6a connectors or will cat 6 connectors work just as fine without any loss of performance? Will the Klein crimper handle cat 6a?
@@richardpatton4197 the tool works with cat6a but there are no cat6a passthrough connectors and even if they are i really dont recommended them ive had nightmares with them i use a lot of cresteon hdbaset syatems and they requier cat6a one time a customer did his crimping and used non shielded cat6 connectors and the device got fried the pins where all burned inside
Hello Sr.! What would happens if I try crossover cable connection on the smaller tester? Probably will going to say Miswire, a mistake for the tester, So, you know that you are making it intentional, but you will never know with this tester if you did it right. The big one tester, somehow, shows you the crossover design which you were trying to make? Thanks!
I hate pass thru they never cut the wire the first time and wires alwas cross when you inser them in the see thru heads. I have less troble with the old type
It's the worst at trying to strip sheathing off of cable. Turning that heavy tool around a cable isn't easy and it's not the least bit tight so it will barely cut enough to break the cable. It loves jumping around and skipping. Anyone else having this problem? I'm thinking of another tool to do just stripping the cable sheathing but then...why?? I bought it to do multiple jobs with 1 tool having to buy 40 tools for 40 jobs.
The video is great, and the stuff is great. I bought the same thing from the renhotecic brand not long ago, and it feels very good to use. If you need it, you can consider it.
I might be wrong, but cat8 isn't an actual spec... Or was that cat7? I don't exactly remember honestly, and it might have changed since I last looked, but at least at one time not too long ago, there was at least one spec of cable being made and sold that didn't actually exist as an official spec. Manufacturers were just using it as marketing BS. Also, cat 6a is more than what most people will need for a while. I don't know how familiar you are with data transfer speeds and subsequently, how fast 10 Gbps is, but let me put it this way; most storage mediums are capable of barely over half that speed. There are actually local buses, in your computer, that are just 10 Gbps. Most are several times faster than that, but still, 10 Gbps is quite insane. Anything speced over 6a will eventually be useful but it could be a decade or more before it is needed....of course there are other issues such as the environment the cables being installed in how it's being used etc etc. Such as manufacturing plants with a lot of machines that create a lot of noise. Those often need high specs and shielded cables if not fiber optics.
Problem with pass thru is that the wires can corrode over time along with more likely ness to short. I would stay way from using pass thru especially in outdoor environments.
Bro, cat5e and cat6 connectors are the same. The pins connect to the same wires inside. The only difference is the shielding inside the cable. Cat5e and Cat6 don't have specific connector differences. I think you're buying too much into marketing bullshit.
