Seems a little high for 1 rj45 connector. I'm assuming that is for a package? 73 de KD7RYY Marc
They are probably the special metal ones, which use the new crimper Bart likes. (and also probably a bag of them. :-) (Kenny reminds himself to order new crimper for his own tool bag) On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 12:39 PM Marc Lacy <KD7RYY@msn.com> wrote:

The EZ45's are the only way to work at elevation. https://www.platinumtools.com/products/connectors/shielded-ez-rj45-for-cat5e... Yes the material cost of these connectors is more than the cheap/standard STP connectors, however, they are nearly idiot-proof to work with, and have a better than 99% success rate in my lengthy experience.

Yes that is a package of 50 male STP RJ45 connectors

total rat hole, is "STP" the term for the new connectors that pushes the wires all the way through the end of the connector? On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 12:44 PM Darcy Buskermolen <darcyb@gmail.com> wrote:

no STP = Shielded Twisted Pair. UTP = Unshielded Twisted pair (UTP is what you have on the cables that come with all of your household networking gear) EZ45(tm) is the tradename for the push wire through the connector

The generic name for the connectors that have holes to feed wires through looks to be "Pass Through RJ45". And the reason I'm selecting these right now is because they allow for the shield + drain wire to be pushed as deep as possible into the connector. The ones we used to use (TC-CON by UBNT) have blind holes, and you'd have to cut the conductors to just the right length, otherwise you couldn't get the shield in there. So we gave up on shield contact and crimped drain wire only. But that left suboptimal mechanical connections between the cable and RJ45. If you're buying crimping gear for these, buy the genuine Platinum Tools crimper (~$100), and to go with it, the Klein Tools VDV110-261 stripper (~$15). 1 turn of that stripper takes off the jacket, but doesn't cut the shield at all. --Bart On 6/24/2020 12:50 PM, Darcy Buskermolen wrote:

STP stands for Shielded Twisted Pair. As opposed to UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). Most ethernet around your house is UTP. HamWAN uses Shielded cables to minimize RFI and improve protection and reliability. Nigel
