Lets Make Some cable

1. Strip one end of the cable with


the stripper or a knife
and diags.
(This will strip about
1/2" of the jacket off
the cable.)

3. Untwist the pairs and arrange


the wires in the order
of the desired cable
end. Trim the ends of
the wires so they are
even with one another.
( It is very important that the
unstripped end be slightly
less than 1/2" long. )

4. Hold the RJ-45 plug with the clip


facing down or away
from you.

Push the wire firmly into


the plug. Now, inspect
the darn thing... before
crimping and wasting
the plug!

6. Test the crimp
7. Prepare the other end of the cable so
it has the desired end and crimp.
8. If both ends of the cable are within
reach, hold them next to each other
and with RJ-45 clips facing away.
9. Test the cable.
