AIM: Use of Crimping Tool for RJ45.

THEORY: Crimping an RJ45 Connector Correctly Proper Wiring for Ethernet


Cat5/Cat5e/Cat 6 Cables

Cables can transmit information along their length. To actually get that information where
it needs to go, you need to make the right connections to an RJ45 connector.

Your cable run needs to terminate into a connector, and that connector needs a jack to plug
into.

Registered Jack 45 (RJ45) is a standard type of physical connector for network cables. RJ45
connectors are commonly seen with Ethernet cables and networks.

Modern Ethernet cables feature a small plastic plug on each end of the cable. That plug is inserted into
RJ45 jacks of
Ethernet devices. The term “plug” refers to the cable or “male” end of the connection while the term
“jack” refers to the port or “female” end.

T568A or T568B Wiring Standard:


T568A and T568B are the two colour codes used for wiring eight-position modular plugs.
Both are allowed under the ANSI/TIA/EIA wiring standards. The only difference between
the two color codes is that the orange and green pairs are interchanged.

There is no transmission differences between T568A and T568B cabling schemes. North
America’s preference is for T568B. Both ends must use the same standard. It makes no
difference to the transmission characteristics of data.

T568B wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern.

STEP 1:

Using a Crimping Tool, trim the end of the


cable you're terminating, to ensure that the
ends of the conducting wires are even.

STEP 2:

Being careful not to damage the inner conducting wires, strip off approximately 1 inch
of the cable's jacket, using a modular crimping tool or a UTP cable stripper.

STEP 3:

Separate the 4 twisted wire pairs from each


other, and then unwind each pair, so that you
end up with 8 individual wires. Flatten the
wires out as much as possible, since they'll
need to be very straight for proper insertion
into the connector.
STEP 4:

Holding the cable with the wire ends facing away from you. Moving
from left to right, arrange the wires in a flat, side-by-side ribbon
formation, placing them in the following order: white/orange, solid
orange, white/green, solid blue, white/blue, solid green, white/brown,
solid brown.

STEP 5:

Holding the RJ45 connector so that its pins


are facing away from you and the plug-clip
side is facing down, carefully insert the
flattened, arranged wires into the connector,
pushing through until the wire ends emerge
from the pins. For strength of connection, also
push as much of the cable jacket as possible
into the connector.

STEP 6:

Check to make sure that the wire ends coming out


of the connector's pin side are in the correct order;
if not, remove them from the connector, rearrange
into proper formation, and re-insert. Remember,
once the connector is crimped onto the cable, it's
permanent. If you realize that a mistake has been
made in wire order after termination, you'll have to
cut the connector off and start all over again!

STEP 7:

Insert the prepared connector/cable assembly into


the RJ45 slot in your crimping tool. Firmly
squeeze the crimper's handles together until you
can't go any further. Release the handles and
repeat this step to ensure a proper crimp.

STEP 8:

If your crimper doesn't automatically trim the wire


ends upon termination, carefully cut wire ends to
make them as flush with the connector's surface as
possible. The closer the wire ends are trimmed, the
better your final plug-in connection will be.
STEP 9:

After the first termination is complete, repeat


process on the opposite end of your cable

Procedure for Straight cable:


Straight-through cable is a type of CAT5 with RJ-45 connectors at each end, and each has the
same pin out. It is in accordance with either the T568A or T568B standards. It uses the same
color code throughout the LAN for consistency. This type of twisted-pair cable is used in
LAN to connect a computer or a network hub such as a router. It is one of the most common
types of network cable.

Procedure for Cross-over cable:

A Crossover cable is a type of CAT 5 where one end isT568A configuration and the other
end as T568BConfiguration. In this type of cable connection, Pin 1 is crossed with Pin 3, and
Pin 2 is crossed with Pin 6.

Crossover cable is used to connect two or more computing devices. The internal wiring of
crossover cables reverses the transmission and receive signals. It is widely used to connect
two devices of the same type: e.g., two computers or two switches to each other.

In regard to physical appearance, Crossover Ethernet cables are very much similar to regular
Ethernet cables. Still, they are different with regard to the order with which the wires are
arranged. This type of Ethernet cable is made to connect to network devices of the same kind
over Ethernet directly. Crossover cables are mostly used to connect two hosts directly.
CONCLUSION: Thus, we have studied the use of crimping tool for RJ-45.
