Shipping:
Each plug was individually packaged in a plastic bag.
Assembly:
The assembling with the plug erolgte in my case using a normal pliers as a tool (for strain relief).
The first plug did not work in my case.
The second connector (same occupation) did work right away, however, the plastic sleeve can not or do not slide completely over the actual plug. The plastic is simply too hard.
He still works there I 3 stars.
