connector base until it meets the shoulder on the connector.

6. Use the crimp tool to crimp the ferrule. Position the crimp tool

on the ferrule as close as possible to where the connector base
and ferrule meet. Press the tool tightly around the ferrule until
the crimp tool releases.

IMPORTANT

Many network problems are due to improperly
installed connectors. Your connectors should fit tight
on the ends of all your cables. Pull the connector to
verify that it is attached. If it is loose or comes off,
snip off the connector and install a new one. The
connector should withstand a minimum 75lbs pull
force if properly installed.
