Question about LogiLink MP0021
I have now crimped 5 times and the cable tester always shows me a short circuit between wire 7 and G (ground?) every time! 5x new, 5x the same result. I assume I'm doing something wrong, but what? - What could be the reason that it is always wire 7 and ground? - The set includes threading aids. This threading aid has a small "hill". How exactly does this jump get into the plug? I now have a jump upwards (where the nose is) or downwards. Always short-circuited A7 and G - I see videos where the insulation (the one that covers all 4 wire pairs) of the Rj45 cable is completely cut away. Then I see videos where this insulation is put back on the "cable". But since the plug is made of plastic, it shouldn't make any difference, should it? Is there a video somewhere for these plugs?
I have the same plugs in use. The small "jump" is guided downwards into the plug. The threading aid also has small slots facing downwards, where the contacts of the plug are then crimped in.
Although the plug is made of plastic, it has a metal shield plate which should make contact with the cable's braided shield when crimping.
I cannot explain your short circuit. Maybe the pliers are not working properly - or even your cable tester?
The plugs actually work well for me. I use the LogiLink WZ0030 set for crimping.
At first I had the problem that the individual wires were too thick for the threading aid. I then used a different cable (with specification AWG26 for the wire thickness). This actually works well.
The way out of the dilemma that I have found is this RJ45 plug, which is not quite cheap but is reusable.
Even I can wire it correctly :-) - And crimping a cheap plug 10 times isn't any cheaper:

I managed it with this plug. However, the space for it must be available.
Good luck!

There are many videos where it is very well explained. Just watch these videos. Kind regards E.B.
