The stuff we use to go up the tower is either a heavier gage copper or a thicker insulation on the conductor. Maybe both. I use the ez's there always. It's easier to terminate and I'm that much more comfortable knowing I went the extra step to have no problems or issues.

On customer premises stuff, I use the typical connector and don't have any problems.

I also buy thousands per year and I like thouands times .10 than .55

Regular indoor cable and the first few reels of outdoor cable I used were all pretty easy, but as I've started to get different kinds of cable in, some are more difficult to work with than others.

I know those EZ's are easy, but they are expensive.

Why don't you just learn to use the cheap ones and get it right. Why ay more if you don't have to?

The RJ-45 male connectors and crimpers I use are a PITA sometimes. What are some nice connectors and crimpers to use? The female ends I use are really easy to put in the right order (and stay there), they don't have to be the exact length, etc.

That said, I'm looking at possibly needing to install some shielded cable. I'd imagine they'd need a connector made for shielded cable. Suggestions on this route are appreciated as well.
