Are these connectors the pass-thru style? Where the wire sticks through when you crimp it, then cut it off.

No. These are the traditional style that have to be trimmed before inserting into connector.
1107165
No. They are not pass-through style. You cut the wires to fit the connector first. Then you crimp it.

I'm not an expert, but I believe they are supposed to be offset a bit as you're generally trying to crimp two wires/cables/etc together in one sleeve and they won't form a perfect circle.

Yes, you can crimp with standard crimper. Before you crimp, you need to trim the excess wires, then pull wires back inside the plug and crimp.

these are your best bet because you can use a lower (heavier duty) "awg or gage" wire dirrectly to the connection/metal of the connector- deffinitely a plus for ease and efficiency of use and installation, most importantly you dont have to worry about splicing in to the flimsy thin wire on all the others available. solderless connectors like these are fullproof while other "style" connectors can be shady sometimes. ive used these 110 and dc and in a car using the battery directly

Once the wire ends are stripped they plug right into the electrical connections on the supplied boxes. No additional wire connectors are needed.

I have not had a problem with ours and I love the the RJ45 connectors that go the tool. I'm not sure how well these would work with a standard RJ 45 since they cut off the excess wire out of the end of the RJ45.

I doubt that the trendnet crimpers will work. These EZ require the wires that stick out to be neatly trimmed. I tried many times to trim these ends and was never successful. Bought the Platinum EZ crimp tool and worked first time. I made the mistake of buying the connectors and found them worthless with out the EZ crimp tool that cuts the wires at the same time it crimps.

Yeah, they are proprietary - I had wired the speaker lines into the walls before drywalling my basement, so I had no choice but to cut them. It all works fine though. I didn't even solder the connections - I just used wire nuts.

I did not use the connector.. just cut them off and spliced them into the existing wires.

I purchased this item but never have made use of it. Although I have never installed it, I don't think it makes a difference which direction you feed the wires through. If I recall, I believe there are a couple of set screws that will splice into each wire to make the contact. Hope this helps. Steve

you can shorten the wires , it would be very tedious , you would need the correct wire/pin tools to open and close all the fittings/crimps

These wiress are made for a specific cutting board. When installed corectly the handle pivots and tightens the wire to make the cut. I dont know what cutting boad you are using.

Yes, Angela it does. What differentiates it from other crimpers is this: IF you were using the 'EZ' type connectors, then you merely push the wires all the way through the connector and out the end via a custom opening at the tip. This takes the guess work out of whether or not the wires are in all the way. PLUS, you can insure the correct sequence because they protrude through the end of the connector! Then, when you're crimping it with the 'Platinum Tools 100054C Clamshell EZ-RJPRO HD Crimper' it flush cuts the excess wire off at the same time.

I used a non-ez plug and it seemed to crimp without issues, the cable also passed testing with no issues. Ymmv though. Not sure of the brand of plug I used as I found it at the bottom of my work bag.

They have pre-assembled connectors on both ends, so it's hard to tell. However, it should be within cat5e specification, and I have run POE devices over it without any problems so far. If I have occasion to cut any of the ends off I will let you know what I find...

Have you used a crimping/stripping tool to "clean" and prep the cable first? This is a critical step. the connectors slide on relatively easily once the end of the cable has been prepared. Other than that I have no ideas.

Yes, Sir.The Metal pins needs the crimper in order to be secured onto the cable or conductors.Now the plastic connectors incase the pins and fasten tightly, and there you have it a great connection!
