STEPS:
1. Get the needed length of the cable and add a little extra wire, just in
case.
2. Carefully remove the outer jacket of the cable. Make sure not to cut
the wires inside. One good way to do this is to cut lengthwise with
snips or a knife along the side of the cable, away from yourself, about
an inch toward the open end.
3. Check the wires for any cuts that can expose the copper wire inside.
If it has any, you will need to cut the entire wires off and start over at
step one. Because exposed copper wire will lead to poor performance
of connectivity.
4. Untwist the pairs and lay it flat. The white piece of thread can be cut
off even with the jacket and disposed. For easier handling, cut the wires
so that they are ¾” long from the base of the jacket and even in length.
5. Arrange the wires based on the wiring specifications you are
following.
6. Make sure that the color arrangement is in correct order.
7. Press all the wires flat and parallel between your thumb and
forefinger. Cut the top of the wires even with one another so that they
are ½” long from the base of the jacket leaving a ½” of room for the
individual cables. Ensure that the cut wires are even and clean.
8. Keep the wires flat and in order as you push them into the RJ-45
plug with the flat surface of the plug on top. You can tell if all the wires
made it into the jack if the wire is located in each hole. You may have
to use a little effort to push the pairs firmly into the plug. Verify that
the sequence is still correct before crimping.
9. Place the wired plug into the crimping tool. Give the handle a firm
squeeze. Once you have completed the crimp, the handle will reset to
the open position. To ensure all pins are set, some prefer to double-
crimp by repeating this step.
10. Repeat all the steps with the other end of the cable.
11. Test the cable to ensure that it will function in the field. Miswired
connection could led to physical damage of computers or phone system
equipment. A simple cable tester can quickly verify that information
for you.
