8P8C has the huge advantage of being pretty easy to terminate with some basic, cheap hand tools. I’d hate to try that with a USB-C connector.

- encom 6y agoThat's true, with the caveat that cheap crimptools are often terrible, and good ones are surprisingly expensive.
- snuxoll 6y agoEh, my “cheap” TRENDNet stip+crimp tool does the job just fine. I’m not a heavy user, but I’ve done well over 50 terminations with it and every time I’ve had an issue it’s due to myself doing a shitty job inserting the wires into the connector.
