You cut the wires flush with the loadbar with electrician scissors, then insert and crimp.
I used to use EZ RJ45 back in the Cat5e days but then with HDMI extenders and they became taboo I stopped all together. For you guys using EZ connectors, are you using them still for everything?
I'm normally not one to be giving the advice on this forum, but whenever I trim the wires at the end of the load bar using the Snap connectors, I find that using electrician's scissors or the cutters on wire strippers annoyingly leaves wires protruding over the edge.
For that, I use some cheap little side cutters I got from radio shack for like five bucks.
[Link: radioshack.com]Not those, but same concept. Very small and will cut pretty much perfectly flush with the end of the load bar.
(Not related, but, to anyone, I also recommend getting a teeny tiny pair of cheap needle-nosed pliers as well. Mine have saved me a few times in various situations.)
A couple people have mentioned not using the EZ connectors with baluns. Might I ask why?
