As someone who is a veteran in the field... Pass through crimp heads like the ones used in the video were banned in my company. Why? Because eventually they cause connectivity issues due to shorts at the connection ends. Why? Because the person who terminated... Like in the video... Trust that his crimper cuts the wires close enough to the head.... They don't. And oftentimes your Cat 6 tester won't show you it's shorting either. While a pass through connector may have saved the initial installer time, it has cost me countless hours in service calls going back to fix them all, and the initial installer never had to deal with it. 9/10 times a connection issue was caused by one of these. Lesson... PLEASE DON'T USE PASS THROUGH CONNECTORS. However... If you absolutely must... Instead of relying on your crimper tool to trim the ends, a much better method is to use your flush cutter to trim the ends first, then PULL THE CABLE SLIGHTLY BACK from the head to make sure all the wire ends are SECURELY INSIDE the connector head. This reduces the chance of shorts dramatically.

@IslanderJerYT Год назад

Notes. You are technically supposed to strip the sheath, then use the cotton cord to strip a longer section of sheath which protects the cores from potentially being scored by the blade. The sheath wasn’t pushed up as far into the plug as far as I believe it should be. The reason for this is leaving the sheath so far back may allow pulling on the cable to expose the cores out the back of the plug. If the sheath is pushed up, it gets crimped along with the cores. But if it works, it works and do it the way you do it. Just slight wrongs should be pointed out if it’s an instructional video imo

@AndrewStrydomBRP Год назад

If you have an adjustable crimper then you don't need to, I use a knipex one that lets you set the blade depth, I set it so that it scores the outer insulation and then you basically just snap it off, no inner core damage.

@thetooth Год назад

Wow there is nothing quick about this! Also as a veteran low voltage guy I still say passthrough crimp ends are a danger for shorts, I know you may of never seen it happen but there is a reason they are not permitted in some installs.

@claywillie6316 Год назад

We used them at my company for a few weeks, guaranteed we had to go back to every one and pull them out and reterminate. They are garbage and like you say, do nothing but short

@mattinman8285 Год назад

The vast majority of my cabling is terminated into mechs, not jacks, but I can't see how a passthrough jack could result in a short (and any danger that would cause unless to your own sanity having to redo a failed crimp). Is there a flaw that I've yet to discover?

@johnaphone Год назад

Only time we've had them short is when the installer has used snips to trim the ends, and not the proper crimper that trims them. I prefer the ones with the little plastic insert

@devinstepp4205 Год назад

We use them, but we don't use the blade on the crimpers. We cut our excess and backpull the wires like .5 - 1mm so we don't short

Down here in FL I can't tell you how many times I have found these passthrough connections completely coroded from the humidity.

I haven’t used the outer shell to untwist the cable pairs before but it looks like a nifty way to things. Also, I like the connectors - I have not seen them before, but the cool thing about them is that allows for a final check if the config before crimping far more easily than plugs that do not enable the cable pairs to be pushed right through it. Very cool - thanks for sharing 👍😃

My favorite is when I get called out for a connection issue because a low volt couldn’t tell the difference between the solid brown and solid orange. Tbf though a lot of companies make the colors very similar. That’s why you should always double check your work and use a T56A/B tester.

Been using the ezrj45 tool and they do NOT CAUSE the wires to short like the other pass through . And you get better bandwidth when you can pull the twists closer to the head .

Also my way of smoothing the wires is faster and easier on the thumb . Get yourseld a half inch or 3/8th wedge anchor and use the threads on the bolt . You can smooth 4 wires at once.

From 30 years of data, it’s not only the attention to terminating quality, the installation and method is as important as any old sparka can and do lash in data and believe me I’ve seen some right abortions in my time. With ever increasing data rates and thicker data wires installation methods are becoming increasingly important with considerations that lighting is moving mote towards data cabling with control manage systems in domestic settings. Oh and no more than a 45 degree bend once stripped as bending distorts the surface of the copper wire, creating a break or a bottle neck in the electron flow. Seeing as I’m now a data engineer, training to become a sparky aswell I’m learning the more in-depth science and mathematics (alot….ALOT of that!!) and it’s fascinating science, even at 52 this not quite old dog, is learning new tricks.

@matytomek3574 5 месяцев назад

Just 1 thing apart from the push through connector. Get a decent stripper that doesn't cut all the way through the insulation, only part way and you bend and snap off the rest because long runs of cables are very prone to crosstalk and when the stripper cuts a little bit from all the insulation, the crosstalk will be much worse
