Super Handy RJ45 Connectors

There are probably some folks on here that do their own wire/coax/fittings and a month ago I found a couple of my RJ45 connectors had lost their connectivity due to old age, dust, corrosion or ??? since the wire they were on was about 40 feet long I really did not want to have to run new wire. So I needed to put on new RJ45 connectors which if you have done this it is a real pain since there are 4 pairs of wires I.E. solid color and a white wire with a matching color stripe. Once you strip off the outer cover then separate the pairs you have to straighten the wires and try to wiggle them in the right order which is not easy. BUT I found some new fangled RJ45 connectors that let you push the wires in so they pop out the end so you can see their order!!!!! Hot damm, that makes installing new connectors way easier and no chance of getting the wires mixed between the ends. Of course they came from Amazon!
