Materials
•
Crimping pliers (for RJ10 and/or RJ45 connectors)
•
Scissors or pliers
•
Sharp (Stanley) knife
•
RJ10 or RJ45 connectors
Steps
Cut the cores in a straight line with a pair of pliers in order to have them all with the
same length.
Strip approximately 3 cm of the outer cover with a sharp (Stanley) knife. The individual
cores should not be damaged.
A.
B.
Insert the cores into the RJ10 or RJ45 connector. Make sure that the cores are placed in
the correct order. For the RJ10 connector it is recommended to place 2 additional cores
for pull relief.
C.
Make sure that the cores are inserted deep enough into the connector in order to have
them firmly clamped.
D.
Place the connector with the inserted cable into the pliers. Clench it in order to have
the cores secured and exposed. It may be necessary to clench the pliers firmly two
times or more.
E.
Double-check that all cores are fully inserted. If this is not done correctly, the cable
will not work properly.
