Folding the foil back over the jacket so that it makes contact with the
tongue on the inside of the plug is how to properly terminate a shielded
cable.

with a butane soldering pen?

The wire channels are larger than the UBNT plugs. Plus the
pins don't fall out or slant when crimped.
I hate Primus cable, but their RJ45s are pretty good. Wouldn't
surprise me if they don't even make them.

RF Armor preferred. Ubnt is OK. ARC is good, too.
Never seen this myself but maybe it's the salt?

Can't say that I've seen that happen, but I don't know
that I'd blame the connector.
As far as I can tell the UBNT, RF Armor and Arc
connectors are all pretty much exactly the same - we've
been using RF Armor, for no particular reason other than
that they're the cheapest of the three.

What is everyone's preferences for shielded
connectors at the moment? We discovered at least one
corroded/rusted connector last week at a site which
had taken a direct or nearly direct lightning strike
which melted pig tails as well as destroyed an omni
among other things. It was a site we bought so we
don't know the manufacturer of the connector or if
it's something we installed and it's the first one
I've seen on our network. Has anyone else seen this
happen? Lately we've been using RF Armor have used
Ubiquiti shielded connectors in the past.
