		toast0 on May 13, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Wireless is a trap (2020) You don't even need to crimp unless you really want to. Everything should go to punchdown blocks, either on the room jacks or a patch panel. Crimping is for the patch cables, if you can find manufactures cables for less, no need to make your own.
