IMO sockets with punch-down connections are easier to use, because it's a lot easier to punch a cable in than crimp an RJ45 plug.
To a novice I'd think that is true and there is the benefit of being able to correct errors.IMO sockets with punch-down connections are easier to use, because it's a lot easier to punch a cable in than crimp an RJ45 plug.
I agree with this entirely, which is why I suggest adding face plates in the rooms.IMO sockets with punch-down connections are easier to use, because it's a lot easier to punch a cable in than crimp an RJ45 plug.
This is another situation where the correct definition of a term has been abused/corrupted.I agree with this entirely, which is why I suggest adding face plates in the rooms.
Additionally, a premade cable can be added of the required length, then if the room gets re arranged at a later date - all that needs changing is the cable between the faceplate and the device.
And yes I will continue to call it an RJ45 plug, because that is what they are called and always will be - rollocks to your 8wotsit definition
Next we'll be discussing light bulbs and lamps
Yes I posted a picture of a 13A plug but described an extension leadSunray mate, your wrong, that's a 13a plug not an extension lead.
Your taking it to the extreme trying to call that an extension lead, there is no lead at all in your example.
With respect, I'm not being anal, I'm actually saying something similar to youLanguage changes, what things are called changes, the RJ45 plug has always been known as the RJ45 plug amongst the people, what salesmen or some standard decided to call it is irrelevant, the people know it as an RJ45, always did always will
Now stop being anal about it
However the term RJ45 was not about the plug, it was the description of an assembly of plugs and cable (just the same as describing an extension lead) and 40 or 50 years ago nobody , no engineer, no fitter, no salesman within the telecomm or data environment would have dreamt of incorrectly calling an 8P8C modular plug a Registered Jack 45 (RJ45).This is another situation where the correct definition of a term has been abused/corrupted...
Fortunately I don't have the same issues as some others regarding the progressing corrupted use of our language as long as it doesn't result in confusion.
