WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN CRIMPING RJ-45 CONNECTOR?

 

A RJ45 connector is a modular 8 position, 8 pin connector used for terminating Cat5e or Cat6 twisted pair cable. ... Straight through is the most common type of cable and is used for connecting your computer to your network. The other pinouts are for specialty cables that are used for unique network applications.

Steps in Crimping R-J45 Connector:

Step 1

Choose your cable and the right RJ45 connectors.

First of all, you should confirm the cable and connectors are the same category, means cat5e cable couple with cat5e rj45 connectors, cat6 cable with cat6 connectors, cat6a cable with cat6a connectors, cat 7 cables with cat 7 rj45 connectors. Secondly, the OD of the cable wires must couple with the connectors’ wire channel(24AWG – 0.95mm; 26AWG – 0.9mm; 28AWG – 0.75mm; 30AWG – 0.6mm; 32AWG – 0.55mm)

If need, you can also insert the cable into a RJ45 boot as following picture,the RJ45 boot will protect the plug clip when cables are pulled through bundles.

Step 2

Strip 1.8cm to 2cm of the jacket at the end of the cable.

Step3
Cut of the core of the cable and abandon.

Step 4
Straighten the 4 pairs twisted wires and rank the wires between fingers.

There are 2 kind of orders: T568-A and T568-B

T568-A wires turn(Green-White/Green, Orange-White/Blue, Blue-White/Orange, Brown-White/Brown)
T568-B wires turn(Orange-White/Orange, Green-White/Blue, Blue-white/Green, Brown-White/Brown).

Step 5
Cut off about 0.5cm of the wires and keep the left wires neat.

The left wires must be very neat, and easy to wire into the connectors.

Step 6
Insert the wires into the RJ45 connectors.

Be careful and make sure that the turns of the wires doesn’t misplace

If you have inserted cable into a RJ45 boot, after inserted the wire,please insert RJ45 boot into connector, keep two claw to be inserted in the connector.

Step 7
Crimp the RJ45 connectors to the cable.

By using the crimping tool, and press hardly, make sure the contacts of the connectors entirely connected with the wires.

If you have inserted RJ45 boot into the connector, when you Crimp the RJ45 connectors into cable,rj45 boot’s two claw also have been crimped into connector.

Step 8
Test the cable.

Use a cable tester to assure that your cable is working properly when both ends are crimped.
