hello folks,
we have started purchasing CAT5e/6 and MediaTwist bulk cable for making our own patch cables. however, with some (but not all) of the CAT6 and MediaTwist cable we find it very hard to correctly terminate the RJ45 modular plug because the entrance/gate to the plug is a little narrow for the thicker cabling. this makes it hard to push all the way into the jack and results in poorer connections.
can anyone suggest a RJ45 modular plug that might have a bigger cable enterance to better accommodate thicker ethernet cable? i searched around the web/usenet, but alas i didn't find anything specific to my problem.
we are currently using a MilesTek crimper and Ideal Industries RJ45 plugs.
any info would be appreciated.
take care, alex
