Am I the only one to call them ‘light orange’ instead of ‘orange-stripe’? I know they aren’t that color, yet whenever I’m crimping a cable and have to repeat the colors to get them in order…
I know what crimping is, and I know how to terminate an Ethernet cable, but I don’t know why you’d want to crimp 4 things at once and don’t know what those socket things you’re crimping on are?
Ferrules - great for terminal blocks, wagos etc. It’s just for crimping one - the stripped wire goes into the plastic end, and the metal sheathing is crimped down onto the exposed wire.
Recite the Ode after me:
Orange-stripe Orange, Green-Stripe Blue,
Blue-Stripe Green, Brown-Stripe Brown
Orange on left
Brown on right
Stripe solid stripe solid
Green green was the worst anime I have ever fucking seen
Green green bad
I hate that this is what works for me

“white orange” in my neck of the woods.
Also: my life improved immensely when I decided to spend 12 quid to buy this:
I literally sploosh every time I use it. Doesn’t matter what the wire, length, thickness, or girth. They crimp all the same
Same. https://sh.itjust.works/post/65657453
Except for the 12 quid part

I need to get some of these for my audio cable
Mine, hold your excitement, mine crimps from six sides at once!!! SIX!!
Oh shit, should I send mine back?? I got it yesterday, but not sure if I cheaped out. Is 6 better than 4?
I have no clue, probably not 😅
I just wanted to add to it. And I love how the crimp… things close!
I know! It’s sooo satisfying
Are we sure Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm? This is the second comment dropping the Golden Crimping Code i see in like 5 minutes
Lemmy Code: Shun capitalism and push crimping products. You will comply.
