Pop the connector in the crimp tool, make sure the wires are still pressed down in the connector channel, and crimp that puppy about 3 times to make sure you got all the pins compressed in the wires and the connector has a good hold of the cable. Run it through your cable tester after doing both ends of the cable and check your brand new network patch cable. Cool Stuff You can buy colored cable jackets in a ton of colors to add a little life to your network runs. There are some new neon-colored cable jackets that are cool. There are some really cool connectors if you get tired of the plain ones.
Colored connectors look sweet.
You can also get them with molded strain relief to add a little more protection to the cable from being pulled out of the connector. My favorite connectors are the ones with molded strain relief and a snagless boot so nothing will catch on the connector latch and break it. Go out and save some money making your own cables.
