Has anyone had an issue with Power-Over-Ethernet and this crimper/connectors? Worried about shorting since the wires are flush cut to the end.

I did have one of about 50 or so that did not completely compress. Caused an intermittent connection. It did not short though. Recrimped it with another set of crimpers and it worked fine. When the blade comes down to trim the wires, you can no longer see the contacts to verify the contact. After crimping we now inspect the contacts to insure good compression. Thats the only issue so far. Other than that we are happy with them.

I have done several P.O.E. connections with mine with ZERO shorts. The Cutter/Crimper flush cuts the excess wire. The only concern i could see in the future, is if the cutter blade dulls and doesn't cleanly cut the wires. However, a simple blade replacement would fix that!

No, it worked like a charm. In the plug there are small separators from what I can see ... anyways, no problems, it works great.

No. If you use the proper RJ-11, (Of the type that blocks the wires at the end.) you should have no problem. Have assembled hundreds of CAT5, CAT6 straight through, and crossovers using this tool. No issues whatsoever

I've never had this issue. The only time I had any connection issues is when I was connected to a surge protector. After plugging directly to the wall socket, the issue went away.

The device get power though the Ethernet cable that has a little block that basically "splices" two cables. That block is plugged in to the standard AC plug.You will have to provide the Ethernet cables, needing 2, and keep them short. By short I mean 75 feet from the power point to the EnGenius. You need to be rather familiar with networking IP rules, as the man is not very clear. I recommend updating the firmware from the EnGenius site before install, but that is just me. You should not have issues out of the box.

I've had similar issues with connectivity, intermittently and usually for no discernible reason... It's literally worked in one outlet, but not the one right next to it or across the room a bit. I've never seen a purple light and didn't see anything about it in the instruction manual. I can say this... I've had two Belkin products (the extender and a regular router) go out within months of each other and under the warranty time. I spent 15 minutes trying to get them to honor it, while speaking with someone who couldn't understand me. I cut my losses and went with ASUS products. Sorry if this is not much of a help.

I'm certain the adapter matters not as long as the voltage required is met. Please note if you chose to power over ethernet through a switch pay close attention to the power output 24v is needed for the pro's

I found that plugging the unit into a power strip on the same outlet as the cable box was a problem. A different electrical outlet solved the issue.

I use this cable to control my solar power system, I'm not sure if it supports power over the Ethernet. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I will have to check. Only one end needs to be powered. We were using them for sending POS DATA back to a pc, ended up pulling them out and installing a serial over cat5 instead to clear up some intermittent issues we were having. You may not have any trouble with them we had kind of a special setup I think is why we had issues.

I did not have any issues with this, perhaps it's the extension cord? Best of luck!

Mine has been solid as described in the manual since day one. If course, I'm not watching it while using the computer, perhaps it's a traffic blink, like on most network adapters?

Same answer as others. My electrcian installed. It did not seem to be a problem 4 him though

It works fine for me. It's mostly your internet modem/router. I occasionally have this problem where my internet would randomly cut off at one point while still being connected and I'd have to refresh the page when watching YouTube videos but it's ambiguous whether it's the Ethernet cable or the ISP itself.

I own two of these units with no such problems. Possibly the wire on yours may have gotten pinched there by shorting itself out.

No. These convert Ethernet to coaxial not coaxial to Ethernet then to power line adapters you'd have too much RF interference from the breaker panel too. The tolerance spectrum for these requires a very clean line. I use cat6 at 485 feet and that works well

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

I just used 2 standard ethernet cords (each about 75 ft) and used the coupler to join them together. Works just fine.
