Couple notes if youre doing this for the first time. Dont bend the wires at 90° when untwisting. Dont forget to put on the boot prior to cutting and stripping or you'll be doing it all over. or you'll be doing it all over. or you'll be doing it all over.
is there some data or standard stating why you should not bend at 90 when untwisting? I get the reasoning behind it but is this actually an issue? And the boot is optional and some times gets in the way depending on the application. They are nice but unnecessary.
Do those crimps really work that well. I've never found a pair that actually cut the end flush and all the way though the first time. I even tried a brand new Klein Tools VDV226-110 the blade just wants to deflect forward and only kinda cut/deform the wires. Those Knipex too all of those tools are amazing.
For many years I used the B wire code. But when a it guy come to location to hook up service it seems they all use the B code. Witch I don't like they clearly can see I set up all useing the B. But they do A. Witch witch ever A or B used should be the same across the oard for best service. 2nd I use to use standered rj54 plugs. I have 20/20 Vision. And struggle to get the wires into the right location. These plugs are not clear plastic.. more on a foggy side. I Even gonna as far as using a magnifying glass to double check. All looks good so I'd crimp. Hook up cable tester an 9 out of 10 it show a short. I use to waste so many plugs. Even checking 4 to 5 time before crimping. An short would test. Then looking over the plug every wire is were it should be but cable test fail. I later seen these pass through plugs come on the market. I was skeptical because of the bare copper at the ends in causing corrosion. Was not until 2 years ago I changed over to useing only top brand name pass though plugs an trouble free. I see you useing a 1 step punch down tool. Never seen this before or even the tool. Only use the one at a time punch down tool. I Skeptical of the tool you're using as you cannot see clearly what's happening with each connection As you punch it

@@LowVoltageNation I feel like he must be thinking of fiber. Bending at 90 isn't going to break any solid or (especially) stranded copper.
