Step 4: Insert conductors into the plastic loader
Using the standard wiring scheme shown here
(T-568B), insert the conductors into the plastic loader
piece of the R-J45 connector. The plastic loader is
necessary because the thickness of CAT 6 cable
does not allow it to sit flat in an RJ-45 connector like
in normal CAT 5. Note how the loader staggers the
cables:
Step 5: Slide the plastic loader down the cable
Slide the plastic loader down the
cable as close to the base as
possible. Keep pressure on the
top and bottom of the loader so
the cables stay in place while
sliding down.
Step 6: Cut all conductors
Using the wire cutters, cut all
conductors leaving approximately 0
.5”
remaining.
