- There will be 4 pairs of twisted wires exposed, each of them a different color or color combination. Orange-White striped and solid orange.
- Fold each pair of wires backwards to expose the car of the cable.
- Cut off the core and discard.
- Straight the twisted wires.
- Arrange the untwisted wires in a row, placing them into the position, running from right to left, in which they will go into the RJ-45 connector. Orange with a white stripe.
- Trim the untwisted wires to a suitable length by holding the RJ-45 connector next to the wires.
- The insulation on the cable should be just inside the bottom of the RJ-45 connector.
- The wires should be trimmed so that they line up evenly with the top of the RJ-45 connector.
- Insert the wires into RJ-45 connector, making sure that they stay aligned and each color goes into its appropriate channel.
- Make sure that each wire goes all the way to the top of the RJ-45 connector.
- If you dont make these checks, you will find that your newly crimped RJ-45 connector is useless.
- Use the crimping tool to crimp the RJ-45 connector to the cable by pressing the jacket and cable into the connector so that the wedge at the bottom of the connector is pressed into the jacket.
- Use a cable tester to assure that your cable is working properly when both ends are crimped.
