Checking if the plug you're considering differs from standard crimped ones. You mentioned trouble with regular crimped plugs and now your cable only works up to 100Mb. It might be worth exploring tool-less options, but verify compatibility before deciding.

The connector doesn't influence the speed. It's designed to work with the same cat 6 standards. A 100-meter cable is usually caused by improper connections. Just trim the ends and attach new ones.

I rely on the crimping tool consistently and have never encountered problems. However, I avoid purchasing brand-name connectors and opt for the pass-through variant, which simplifies the process compared to precisely trimming wires to length. Some no-name connectors suffer from low-quality metal contacts that bend or misdirect instead of cutting cleanly, resulting in subpar connections.

I believe the issue is here—there are no standard brand connectors available.

Using quality crimping tools is essential. They should evenly apply pressure across all contacts—perpendicular alignment ensures balanced force inside the jack. Excessive pressure on one side can cause plastic deformation. There are three main connector types: ones for solid-core Ethernet cables, those for stranded cables, and universal designs that accommodate both. Matching connectors to cable type helps maintain stability; otherwise, connections may loosen or fail over time.
