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.
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
The wall behind me. Chin up, no drooling.
Good crimpers and strippers are worth their weight in what you paid for them in pennies.
I’m impressed mostly by the size of that peg board. They’re surprisingly expensive…!
And you just stick all the Ethernet wires in? Like a nasty naughty little thing.
Same. https://sh.itjust.works/post/65657453
Except for the 12 quid part
What is this?

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
