[QUOTE="Jason Lavoie, post: 63963, member: 159"] Re: Cat5 cat5e or cat6 options? They're awesome. a bit more expensive of course, but aside from miswiring the connector completely the most common problem that I've seen is that the wire doesnt get fully inserted into the connector so the crimp just barely catches. this causes it to work fine but fail after its been flexed a few times.. with these guys the wire goes all the way through so that's not even a possibility. Also, since you strip and straighten more wire than you need then pull it through you're able to get the twists much tighter into the connector (which can make a difference if you have lots of connections or are pushing the max length) keep in mind that if you have 100m cables, and are plugging them into patchbays or something other than the actual equipment (which it sounds like you may if you're asking about neutrik connectors) then you'll technically be over 100m total.
