16/17 >>
Prepare the following tools.
RJ45 connector crimping tool
Diagonal pliers
Prepare an outdoor network cable
and shielded RJ45 connectors.
1.
Core wire
2.
Aluminum foil
3.
Braid shield
4.
Outer jacket
5.
Shielded RJ45 connector
Strip the cable.
Length of the stripped
cable: 20 mm
Strip off the braid shield and cut
the aluminum foil and unwanted
materials.
When stripping off the outer jacket, take care not to damage the braid shield
or aluminum foil.
Remove the outer jacket.
Arrange the core wires according to the pin assignments and cut them
neatly (exposing a length of 12 mm).

Insert the arranged core wires into an RJ45 connector according to the pin
assignments and crimp the connector with the crimping tool.

Crimp the RJ45
connector.
Cut off the exposed braid shield and materials
along the edge of the connector.
Cut off the exposed braid
shield and materials.
Outdoor network cable
Terminate a connector on the other end of the network cable, and then test the cable
for continuity using a network cable tester.
Optional: Use a multimeter to measure the impedance of core wires. The impedance
difference between core wires must be less than 5%.

•Before crimping, ensure that the core wires are fully inserted in the RJ45
connector.
•Use the crimping tool to crimp the connector with force.
•After crimping, verify that the connector has been crimped tightly.
