Does anyone know how to make the perfect RJ45 connection?
I have noticed that some high quality test leads have one of the wires going to pins 3 or 6 crossing the middle pair at right angles. I think the theory behind this is that crosstalk is minimised by doing it this way and it improves insertion loss.
Do you know anything about this? does it work?
I haven't tried this yet but it looks kinda fiddly to do, and probably adds quite a bit onto termination time.
What do you think?

Basically, not matter how you look at it the entire 8P8C plug installation procedure is very cumbersome and not exactly designed for the field.
They use specialized equipment - strippers, crimpers, pretty much every piece of equipment at the cabling factory has been modified for performance.
What I'm trying to say is this: "install RJ45 (8P8C) plug if you have to but don't kill yourself over the quality as you'll have to replace it with a factory-made one at some point anyways"
