Comments about RJ45 EZ-RJ45 CAT 5e Mod Plug Qty 15:
Upon first presentation this sounded like a fantastic tool. Usage in the field however has presented several problems. The cutter does a poor job and rarely does it cut all wires completely. Secondly there is a tendency for the blade to drift outward away from the body of the tool. This causes too much wire to stick out past the end of the connector making it difficult or impossible to seat the connector properly in the socket. The tool also does not crimp properly and poor connections result. I have had to go back and re-crimp the connectors with another tool to get proper connections.

Comments about RJ45 EZ-RJ45 CAT 5e Mod Plug Qty 15:
The modular plugs themselves work as advertised. They allow you to push the wires completely through the plug which gives you absolute visual verification that your wires are in the correct order and that you can get a secure crimp on the cable jacket.
However, the crimping tool that you buy separately does not do its job well. It does crimp and make solid connections, but it is supposed to cut off the excess wire sticking through the end of the plug too.
It cuts the middle six wires, but it never completely cuts the first and eighth wire, leaving you to try and clip them off with a small pair of cutters. This happens 100% of the time since I've had them.
I'm still pretty happy with the setup, but they need to improve the "cutting" aspect of the crimping tool that goes with these particular plugs.

Comments about RJ45 EZ-RJ45 CAT 5e Mod Plug Qty 15:
The excess wires that are inserted into the connector and out the front of the connector need to be trimmed very close to the connector body. Other wise the network connection may not be made when plugged in (i.e., into the pc or router). A tool that crimps and trims at the same time may solve this issue.
