I checked an earlier discussion about CAT6 in general but didn't see shield connections discussed. I've been using the EZ type that has a (poor) crimp strain relief, but the instructions can't be followed* and I see no obvious right thing to do with the drain wire.

So what CAT6 RJ45s make great connections and have actual usable instructions?



*says something like "remove the outer jacket. Don't disturb the foil. Separate the wires." Well, you can't separate the wires while they're still inside the foil! A later step tells you to fold the foil back. There's also no mention of cutting the spline, nor of what to do with the drain wire.
