Update: thank you all for your detailed and kind input! I finally tried crimping on an 8P8C connector onto an Ethernet cable. I failed. Miserably. But at least I finally learned what’s actually happening - or what’s supposed to happen: the teeth of the connector actually puncture the individual wires in order to make contact with the conductors inside. Sic. But omg is it a game of patience. 🤣

I actually just want to shorten one that I’m already using. 😊

    I mean, if it really isn’t too troublesome for you, then sure! Let’s enrich these forums with your handiwork*! 😁🩷

    *is this a correct use of the word? 😅

      So, I did record something real quick before lunch, but now I got no clue where to upload it other than YouTube. Don’t really want to put myself out there like that lol. It’s just a quick recording and I’m not used to doing that kinda thing
