Fabricating your own cables 

With the proper crimping tool, cable and connectors, the installer can also make non-waterproof 
cables of custom length. You will need the following tools:

•  

wire stripper (Sargent 8450 or equivalent)

•  

crimping tool (Sargent 2100 or equivalent)

•  

crimping tool insert (Sargent 2100-08 or equivalent)

Careful attention should be paid to wiring the connectors using the standard 100Base-TX wiring 
convention. It should be noted that good cabling is critical to the proper operation of the N2 system 
and if the installer is inexperienced in building 100Base-TX networking cables, a pre-made cable 
should be used. Flattening out the wires in the correct order for insertion into the RJ45 jack before 
crimping can be the most complex part of the job, and it must be done with care.
