I disagree that dice and higher quality crimpers are an equivalent
relation. And my Ideal crimper is quite nice, thank you. Better than
anything I was handed while doing professional network installation
as a summer job in high school.

As for coax, for sure. I wasn't even contemplating it or (even
scarier) fiber. I'm certain I could explain over a phone or by
email to someone totally unfamiliar with the process how to terminate
CAT-{3,5} with an RJ plug. I'm certain I couldn't do that with
either coax or fiber.
