    What is this?

    I know what crimping is, and I know how to terminate an Ethernet cable, but I don’t know why you’d want to crimp 4 things at once and don’t know what those socket things you’re crimping on are?

      Ferrules - great for terminal blocks, wagos etc. It’s just for crimping one - the stripped wire goes into the plastic end, and the metal sheathing is crimped down onto the exposed wire.
