STEP 1 – Remove
Start with about 12 feet thick cable network to make the process a little easier. Remove the outer casing of the cable to the exposure of 1 1 / 4 “of the twisted pairs. Be careful when you step on the jacket or the name of not cutting the wiring inside. After removing the case outside will be 8 of twisted pair cables and a torn cord (white wire).
STEP 2 – Inspection
Inspect cables recently revealed any reduction or scratches that expose the copper wire. If you missed the protective sheath of any cable, you will need to cut the entire segment son and start again at the first stage. Exposed copper wire with cross-talk, poor performance or no connection at all. It is important that the envelope of all network cables remains intact.
STEP 3 – Preparation
To prepare for the cables and make it easier to work, you can untwist the pairs so they flat between the fingers. The piece of white thread can be cut, even with the jacket and removed.
Step 4 – Design
Now, based on the cabling specifications below are the cables to be organized in a certain pattern. There are two methods of the TIA, 568A and 568B. 568B is the most common of the cable network, widely used for networks and digital phone systems. Therefore, our demonstration we will use. From the top left of the RJ-45, the wiring must be in the order shown on the right.
Step 5 – Preparation of Jack
Once again, the press, the son flat between thumb and forefinger, as shown in step three. Check the colors have remained in the correct order. Using a pair of scissors, cut the top of the cables, even with another 1 / 2 “long from the base of the jacket. Ensure that the cutting of cables, including clean sheets and not not doing so can cause the cable to make contact inside the jack.
STEP 6 – Wire Insertion
Ensure that the cables remain flat and in order, click on the RJ-45 connector with the flat surface of the pin at the top. White / orange wire should be left looking at the output. You can tell if all the cables in the development and maintenance of their position for the head of the pin. You should be able to see a cable on each hole, as seen in the lower right corner. May you have to use a little effort to push the stopper firmly in pairs. The jacket also plugged into the back of the approximately 3 / 16 “to help secure the cable once the plug is crimped.
STEP 7 – crimping
Now, place the cable connector crimping tool. Give the press to make a business, you should hear a ratcheting noise to continue. When you have finished Crimp, the handle returns to the open position.
Step 8 – Testing
Once the new cable is completed, this is not a bad idea to try to ensure that the cable that will work in the field. It is essential that the eight cables and are in the correct order. My cable network cables could cause headaches on the road. Plus, with Power-over-Ethernet make its way into the market, through son pairs can lead to damage of the computer or phone equipment, which is even more crucial that the pairs are in the right order. A simple cable tester can quickly verify that the information for you.
