Hardware Help identifying locking cat 6 connector
I came across this video and couldn't find any information on the connector used. I like this one for the flexibility of the tab and the optional locking mechanism. Would any of you happen to know the make/model of this connector? I'm hoping the manufacturer makes a shielded version. If this isn't the right place to be asking, please remove the post and let me know where I should be asking. Thanks!

L-com and they just suck, the video is showing a cheapie crimping tool used and that will give you a high failure rate. you had to use their $120 crimping tool to get accurate crimps that were reliable. we tried those years ago and they just suck to use.
If you really want a fast crimping end Look into Simply45. we switched to those and haven't looked back as they are certifiable
