LAN and RJ45 stuff
I am out of my depth.
can you suggest a decent RJ45 crimping tool and good quality RJ45 male plugs? The plugs are for CCTV I was thinking this for the tool https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-tools/8296527/ what is the difference between these two plugs, which is best? https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/network-telecom-connectors/rj45-connectors/?redirect-relevancy-data=636F3D3126696E3D4931384E53656172636847656E657 26963266C753D656E266D6D3D6D61746368616C6C706172746 9616C26706D3D5E2E2A2426706F3D31333326736E3D5926737 23D52656469726563742673743D43415443485F414C4C5F444 54641554C542673633D592677633D4E4F4E45267573743D726 A203435267374613D726A20343526&r=f&searchHistory=%2 57B%2522enabled%2522%253Atrue%257D thank you macafee2 |

For the crimp tool, have a look at homebase. I am nearly sure they had some crimp tools for network use quite cheap but looked fairly robust.

I have ordered one of these from Robti's post
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 a lot more then I wanted to spend, in fact about double but I can replace a number of other broken rj45 plugs and if it solves the problem, the expense wont be an issue macafee2 |

Crimping tool arrived and also arrived are the RJ45 plugs from RS components. I found a video on YouTube on how to fan out the Lan wires and insert them into the plug. Doing the first one I did think "I'm never going to be able to do this" but I have now changed 3 plugs.
Don't yet know if it has solved the problem but I have not had a reoccurring fault in the 31 hours since I changed the plugs so fingers crossed. macafee2 |
