I borrowed a crimping tool to make up some network cables. I can just about put four of the wires (required for 10baseT) in the correct holes if they're solid and I cut off the rest, but how the #*#*# do you do it if you use the flexible cable & want to get *all* in? There must be a trick?. If you've ever tried this with phone flex, at least the wires are all lined up in the right order! AFAICT it's actually bad practice? to put RJ45s on the solid cable, besides not actually being designed to flex, there's a chance that the connector might not actually make a very postive connection with the solid core, whereas the the stranded core is properly pierced. -- John Chapple
