Q: Can you use this for non pass through connectors?

I used the answers to this question to make my purchase and was misled to believe that this tool will crimp non-PassThru standard RJ-45 connectors and well as PassThru connectors. To prevent anyone else from being misled I’m posting answer to this question. This tool is not compatible with standard non pass through RJ-45 connectors. I am using a standard connector in the video I posted. The trim blade rubs hard against the connector then it becomes obstructed by the connector preventing a proper crimp. The instructions that come with this tool also say this tool is only meant for PassThru connectors. Forcing the tool to crimp a non-PassThru connector may work but at the cost of shaving off some of the plastic on the connector and dulling the trim blade, shortening its life.

Q: What's the key difference between the $20 (226-107) crimper and the $45 (226-110) crimper?

To me it looks like the 107 doesn't do the pass through connectors. It is smaller in size that the 110 model it might fit your pocket better than the 110. But since I only use the pass through connectors the 107 wouldn't work for me.

Q: Do you have to use the Klein pass thru connectors or will these work with any pass thru RJ45 connector?

Good question! Some buyer have tried the C5 and C6 non-pass thru Mod Plugs, but now are using Klein's Pass-Thru™ connectors. If cost is issue, the Klein Pass-Thru™ Clear Mod Plug, now comes in a 200 Pack - VDV826-763. Hope this helps. We have all Klein Pass-Thru™ Mod Plugs - C5, C6, and 3PC Clear Modular Data Plug are stock.

Q: Will these crimpers work with other vendors ez connectors / pass through rj45 connectors. example (platinum tools ez-rj45 cat6 connectors)

My personal experience - I bought these connectors: https://amzn.to/2FWDmpL "RJ45 CAT6 Passthrough Connectors (50 PCS),Gold Plated 3 Micron 3u, High Performance 3 Prong Pins (CAT6/50 PCS)" - they seem to work ok. However, although the cable works fine my tester says it has a short. Not sure if it has to do with the connectors, the cable (cat5), or the tester being finicky. But the cable does work.
