I've been using these for a while:

I like 'em just fine, but I was just wondering if there's something out there that y'all just really love using.
Everyone should learn something new every day.

Jeeez, lighten up!

Are you saying that only the SnapAV CAT6 male will work? What's wrong with asking if these are the only thing that should be used? Or that exist? Are you saying that the EZ type of CAT6 connector is unusable?

I use these. They are much simpler than the 3 piece things from Snap.

We use the snapav ones as well.

Same.

Multiple piece CatX connectors are so last decade.

Only do this if you are not color blind. I always get the two mixed up and my signals get reversed.

edizzle, thanks, but I didn't think I needed defending. For instance, people sometimes say "I'm going to do an Ernie" and then they give enough information for us to figure out what the problem is... they seem to be putting me down, then they do just what I've been asking for!

We use these too. Much easier than the Snap ones, and I can't stand the EZ connectors. I have seen too many issues with them.

We ordered the snap ends one time when ordering a bunch of other stuff for an out of town project. As soon as I opened them and saw they are multiple pieces I said he’ll no and went and found some of the platinum ones.
