A: OBJECTIVE:

-Create Ethernet cables for twisted pair CAT5 or CAT6.

B: EQUIPMENT:

1. Bulk Ethernet Cable – or CAT5 or CAT6 .

2. RJ45 Crimpable Connectors for CAT-5 (or for CAT-6).
3. HT-568 Crimping Tool for RJ-45 (Crimper).
4. UTP Cable Stripper
5. Cable Tester for RJ-45

C: HOW TO MAKE RJ45 CABLE:

1. Use crimping tool cut a cable 0.5m long.

2. Use crimping tool or cable stripper clean the outer shell about 3cm from the one end of the
cable. Insert the end of the cable into the rear round hole of the crimper . And clamp the ends of
the crimper and rotate the outer shell.
3. Unwind and pair the similar colors.
4. Untwist the wire pairs and neatly align them in the orientation. Be sure not to untwist them
any farther down the cable than where the jacket begins; we want to leave as much of the cable
twisted as possible.
5. Carefully insert the wires all the way into the modular connector, making sure that each
wire passes through the appropriate guides inside the connector.
6. Push the connector inside the crimping tool and squeeze the crimper all the way down.
7. To make sure you've successfully terminated each end of the cable, use a cable tester to test
each pin.
