connector base until it meets the shoulder on the connector.

the crimp tool releases.
IMPORTANT
Many network problems are due to improperly
installed connectors. Your connectors should fit tight
on the ends of all your cables. Pull the connector to
verify that it is attached. If it is loose or comes off,
snip off the connector and install a new one. The
connector should withstand a minimum 75lbs pull
force if properly installed.
