Process of Making
Cat 5e Cables
GATHERING OF SUPPLIES
•RJ-45 Connectors (4)•RJ-45 Crimp Tool•Desired feet of Cat 5e cable•Cable Tester
PARTS
Crimper Tool Tester
PREPARE WIRE
Cutting desired wire length Made one long and one shorter Cut the cable with sharp part on the middle of the crimp tool
STRIPPING INSULATION
Take wire and place it in the stripping part Careful not to cut the wire part Cut about 1 inch of insulation that is around the wire Remove insulation
SEE THE WIRES
Now all the 4 twisted pairs of wire are visible There was a silky braid, which I got rid of that was with the wires 4 Colors:
Brown, White/Brown Stripe Green, White/Green Stripe Blue, White/Blue Stripe Orange, White/Orange Stripe
Separate the braids
PUTTING IN ORDER
In order for the Ethernet cable to work, the order must be correct Bring wires together, keeping colors in place, pinch them together
and cut wires down to ½ inch 568-B (T568B) Standards Going from left to right
Brown, White/Brown Stripe, Green, White/Blue Stripe, Blue, White/Green Stripe, Orange, White/Orange Stripe
Bring wires together, keeping colors in place, pinch them together and cut wires down to ½ inch
THE CONNECTORS
Place a RJ-45 connector in one hand and cable in the other hand Push the wire all the way through the connector
CHECKING THE ORDER
Make sure to turn the connector up-side down (tab against you, so that you can see the wires)
Pattern should be (left to right): Brown, White/Brown Stripe, Green, White/Blue Stripe, Blue, White/Green
Stripe, Orange, White/Orange Stripe
CRIMP TOOL
After the order of the wires are correct, bring out the crimp tool
Place connector inside crimp toolSqueeze handles to secure the connector to
the wireRemove wire from crimp tool
CABLE TESTER
Placed a 9v battery in the cable tester Turned the on switch on and saw a green
light. Indicating that it is on and working
TESTING CABLES
With the cable tester on, I placed each connector from the wire in its place There should be 2 connectors on each wire, on each end
One part of the tester is the sender and the other is the receiver
LIGHTS
If done correctly, should see all the lights turn green There are 4 parts that turned green, this indicated that the Ethernet
cables are successfully working Path followed:
1&2 3&6 4&5 7&8 Indicates straight pair
OTHER CABLE
I made the other cable the same exact way Checked it as well to make sure that it worked All the light turned green
PROBLEMS I RAN INTO
Cutting into the wires while stripping the insulation
Not getting the order of the wires correct
Having a different order on each end
Not getting all the lights to go green
WHAT I LEARNED
There are many things that are important when putting together Ethernet cables:
Order is crucial for working cable When taking off insulation, be careful not to cut into wires Order of the colors must be the same on both ends When testing, all the lights must turn on
THE
END
