    Make sure to get pass-through RJ45 connectors.

    It’s 10x easier to trim the excess after crimping, rather than getting the lengths spot on before.

      I remember running out of those at work, & intentionally crushing the cheap-ass crimp-tool in my hand, just so I could finish up the next day with pass-through connectors & my Klein tool, rather than spend the next two hours re-terminating connectors that I ‘should have’ gotten exactly right the first time.
