This RJ45 fails

This batch of RJ45 plugs is crappy.

This morning Danel and Conde visited Dodon and played games on the xbox. The wireless connection was spotty.

After Dodon's pals went home  I made a patch cable to connect our xbox to our router. I was meaning to do this for a long time now. Yesterday, Dodon and I were at the SM. We dropped by Ace Hardware and bought  RJ45 plugs. 

But the plug does not seem to be of the kind that I have in my other patch cables. The cable tester does not show a good connection.The plug does not fit snugly into a port; it won't click in place and falls off at a touch. I think I need to get some real plugs from AC-DC or Advance Electronics.

So I got this one which worked fine, but a little pricey, from Harmanson:

You get what you pay for.
