Make/Crimp your own ethernet cables! - Knipex 97 51 10
Making your own ethernet or patch cables is easy! Being able to crimp your own cables is a great skill to have and is not difficult at all. Crimping your own cables is also a lot cheaper as buying pre-made cables, and best of all, you can fix a broken connector on a broken cable that would otherwise be discarded as trash!
This video is showcasing the Knipex 97 51 10 all in one crimping and stripping tool. You can get a solid german quality tool for just a little more money as one of the generic chinese tools. If the blades ever get dull you can even get replacements instead of discarding the tool as a whole.
