Didn't the manufacturer have instructions, or a drawing showing what lengths of strip for the outer jacket?
What product was this? Seriously, I'd like to know.
Wasn't there a spec on their website to tell you how to strip it and what size wires fit into it? Was it perhaps made for 24 stranded, which is not the same size as 24 solid?
So if you can, don't make an entire network worth of connections depend on you eyeballing a connector and deciding what to use from that inspection. Look up the actual data for that connector online. If you must, telephone them!
By the time I got them, the data sheet was tossed and the person who ordered them was gone for the day. Honestly, I never seen a data sheet for any connectors.
You maybe correct for the 24 strand / 24 solid, again never seen the paper work. And I advised the parts guy not to order those connectors again and showed him why.
