I don't make patch cords, I have better things to do with my time. I always insist on female data jacks, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way.
I got a call from one of my suppliers, they had intalled C5 to demo, a home style sound system. All the C5 had to have male RJ-45 ends crimped on the ends of the cables. I used solid wire ends. I would test the cables, one wire would be open, replace ends other wire open.
What is the life of a crimp tool? What brand of ends do you all use, AMP or some other brand name, or overseas cheap ones. Thanks for your help.
