Discussion-

 First we have to cut the LAN cable at both end with the help of the cutter. then
 separate the twisted pair wires in 4 pairs and cut the plastic and separate the cables in
following order-

 Then insert the connector as every point can be seen. then

 with the help of crimping to crimped together.
 Then with the help of tester we test the connection.
