I need someone to crimp the ends of 8 cables. I don’t have the patience to do it. Anyone interested in making a little extra cash?

We use something like these. Idiot proof.



NOTE: If the pin is on the bottom as I suspect it is in this picture then those cables are backwards.

Because of the cut at the end I presume?

We run very little cable for cameras. I thank you for that information.

Yeah, I think techs should probably change the blade more frequently

I agree with that. Platinum Tools should just up the price a bit and ship it with some spare blades.

I tried using those pull throughs and found it took me twice as long as regular ones.

If you still need work done and since you're site is downtown, which is where we've been de-commissioning and installing server racks/panels (cable runs/terminations) and setup in the chase towers and city plazas so we can do a walk through if you'd to see what we're working with.

You have equipment and cables already?

Like anything new it takes a little getting used to. We started using speed crimps for keystone jacks. First the guys complained about them but in the end they're much faster to work with and no 110 punchdown tool is required. All eight wires get cut at the same time.

9001 and broadhead - thanks for the responses, but I got it done already. Brosef was able to make it out there yesterday morning and we got it all knocked out.

I hear ya... I guess I'm so used to doing them the old way that I can just get exactly what I need for a clean insert and fully bottoming out in the terminator.

I probably had in mind that I could be faster and sloppier and get the same results. Lazy arse.
