Comment Why Crimp? (Score 1) 837
All this talk of crimping versus buying premade is a false dichotomy. Ever hear of a punch down jack? Easy to do, vastly less prone to error then crimping an actual connector, and really what you ought to be doing anyway instead of having a hole in the wall with an ethernet cable coming through it.
So, nice, pretty punch down jacks on both sides, then premade patch cables between both sides and whatever they are connecting to. Reliable, quick, and easy.
