This section outlines step-by-step procedures for terminating UTP cable using a crimping tool, UTP cable stripper,
and an RJ45 connector. Also see the
located in the
eGuide
.
Step 1: Trim cable
Using a Crimping Tool, trim the end of the cable
you're terminating to ensure that the ends of the
conducting wires are even.
Step 2: Strip jacket
Being careful not to damage the inner conducting
wires, strip off approximately 1 inch of the cable's
jacket, using a modular crimping tool or a UTP
cable stripper.
Step 3: Separate wires
Separate the 4 twisted wire pairs from each other,
and then unwind each pair, so that you end up
with 8 individual wires. Flatten the wires out as
much as possible, since they'll need to be very
straight for proper insertion into the connector.
Step 4: Arrange wires
Holding the cable with the wire ends facing away
from you. Moving from left to right, arrange the
wires in a flat, side-by-side ribbon formation,
placing them in the following order: white/orange,
solid orange, white/green, solid blue, white/blue,
solid green, white/brown, solid brown.
