Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent quality I'll probably order these again, but I'd like to see them a little cheaper. They're a good price if you're buying locally, but this is online. Other than that, no complaints whatsoever.Digital camera Review: Here is what I have had success with
Summary: 3 Stars
In my past I've specified many cabling jobs and researched all of the ingredients required for a good job.
You can use the best cable, switches, etc. but if you have a crappy plug you have compromised the entire job. I've seen it and it makes no sense to skimp on any one part of a good cabling job.
I always used AMP part number 5-554720-4
It's for a solid (never use stranded copper) CAT5 and above cable and whether the job specified all 8 wires or not I always specified that all 8 wires be terminated (TS568B) because that's what the plug's crimp (strain relief) was designed for.
Also, don't just pick up your crimper and assume it's OK. Test it. I've seen contractors use the same dye for years and the teeth wear down. They fail their cable test (with a definite pattern across all closets) and the last place they look is their crimp tools. Ethernet is somewhat forgiving but always go for the best you can get.
Use a good crimp tool and dye designed for that crimp tool. I always specified AMP because I wanted to be consistent across the plug, crimp tool, and dye. Contractors used to crap their pants when they read in my RFPs that I was specifying the crimp tools, dyes, and plugs (and Cable Testing Tools) but you have to if you want the best consistent results.
Whatever. Do your homework, find a good system, and move on to the next level of cabling.
Digital camera Review: Not sure if these are really Tripp-Lite?
Summary: 3 Stars
Was sent package (repackaging from bulk, maybe?) the sticker on the bag said ROHS compliant-silly because all that's in here is copper and plastic- but theres nothing to indicate they are Tripp-Lite. 'made in china' on the bag too.
They do seem to be good quality, and I've only terminated one cable and one crossover cable so far. Theres just nothing to say these are Tripp-Lite, and the generics are slightly cheaper. I got these for my job, otherwise I wouldnt care.
