The two wiring standards are used to create a cross-over cable (T-568A on one end, and T-568B on the
other end), or a straight-through cable (T-568B or T-568A on both ends).
2. Start on one end and strip the cable jacket off (about 1") using a wire stripper or a knife. Be extra careful not to nick
the wires, otherwise you will need to start over.
3. Spread, untwist the pairs, and arrange the wires in the order of the desired cable end. Flatten the end between your
thumb and forefinger. Trim the ends of the wires so they are even with one another, leaving only 1/2" in wire length. If it
is longer than 1/2" it will be out-of-spec and susceptible to crosstalk. Flatten and insure there are no spaces between
wires.
4. Hold the RJ-45 plug with the clip facing down or away from you. Push the wires firmly into the plug. Inspect each wire
is flat even at the front of the plug. Check the order of the wires. Double check again. Check that the jacket is fitted right
against the stop of the plug. Carefully hold the wire and firmly crimp the RJ-45 with the crimp tool.
5. Check the color orientation, check that the crimped connection is not about to come apart, and check to see if the
wires are flat against the front of the plug. If even one of these are incorrect, you will have to start over. Test the
Ethernet cable.
Step 3: Use the 568-B wiring scheme on both ends for a standard patch cable.
For a crossover type cable use the 568-B scheme on one end and the 568A on the other end.
Step 6: Observe the tip of the connector to confirm that all the wires are fully inserted. The end of each wire you should be in full
view. Also, there should be enough of the cable jacket inside the connector to crimp against. The un-twisted part of the wires CANNOT
exceed 1/2".
Step 7: Place the connector into the crimp tool, and squeeze hard so that the handle reaches its full swing. The crimp tool presses in
the gold plated electrical contact down such that they pierce through insulation of all eight wire and make contact with the copper
conductor. This is called insulation displacement and is why there is no need to strip the insulation off of the individual wires. The other
thing the crimp tool does is press down on a hinged tab that grips onto the cables outer jacket to provide a strain relief action and
helps to keep the cable and the connector intact.
Notice in the photo above how jacketed portion of the cable goes all the way up into the plug. This is right way to do this.
DO NOT leave portions of the cable exposed without a jacket covering it. This jacket is key to keeping the all important
twists in the CATx cable intact and to keep the pairs grouped together.
Step 8: Always use a cable tester to check for continuity, opens and shorts.
