ASSEMBLE THE TELECOM CABLES
For testing and troubleshooting the tester, you need to assemble straight and cross-pinning cables.
For cutting, stripping, and crimping, use a standard tool for RJ-45 plugs (flat cable).
Elenco Electronics has modular crimping tools Models ST-500 and HT-568.
Cut the 2’ telecom cable in half (see Figure 12).
Using the instructions for your tool, make two
cables (straight and cross-pinning) as shown in
Figures 13 - 15. Make sure that you make a clean
cut on the cable.
