Step 6: Put the conductors into the proper color sequence

The straighter they are, the easier it will be for you to put the plug on.

DonвЂ™t use too much pressure as you are liable to remove the conductor insulation right off the copper.

Easy does it.usually only one or two passes is needed on 24 AWG conductors.

Work the conductors individually, starting at the end of the cable jacket and going to the ends.

The glove and metal rod will make this much faster.

You can toss your free tool when done.ДЄll untwisted. Step 4: Untwist the conductors down to the cable jacket Check for nicks (slices in the conductor insulation or even noticeable copper).ДЇlush cutting that ripcord right off. Look at the conductors at the cable jacket edge. Keep the jacket piece, it will be a free tool for at least five minutes. Now, pop the jacket open at the score and remove the jacket.If you accidentally slice too far into the cable you will likely nick a conductor and that will result in a bad or poorly performing termination-you may need to start over.A quick tip I learned is to make the end of the cable jacket (more) circular by rolling it between your thumb and index finger prior to stripping. This is especially important for Cat5e indoor cable jackets, as they tend to be thinner and not completely circular due to the lack of an internal spline skeleton. When adjusting the stripping blade downward, use just enough pressure on the cable jacket to score it, but not cut through it.You need do this only once at the start of your session. Before you place your cable into the strip tool, adjust the blade all the way up since it may be too low and cut too deeply.Strip off about 1.50вЂќ of cable jacket, carefully! Smooth metal shaft of some kind, like a screwdriver shaft.

Recommended tools to make your life a lot easier (and less painful):

If your crimp and termination tool has an adjustment for the strain latch presser bar, make certain to set it to ON as this plug has a strain latch.

RJ45 crimp and termination tool (the pass through kind will work fine for standard plugs).

This cable has been fitment and performance tested when using our Cat5e Standard unshielded plug. We will demonstrate this termination with trueCABLE Cat5e Unshielded Riser Ethernet cable. ДЇor those who would like to understand more about RJ45 plugs and why there can be such a great deal of confusion surrounding them, please read What is an RJ45 Connector?Д®nough of that! LetвЂ™s jump right into terminating the little beast, shall we? A great resource is Selecting the Correct Connector. If your Ethernet cable is of a different brand, you need to confirm fitment. trueCABLE will stamp a Category on the bag because we go the extra step of confirming fitment and performance with our cable. The whole вЂњcategoryвЂќ thing is very misleading unless the cable and RJ45 plug are both made by the same manufacturer as is the case with trueCABLE. Interestingly, this is true to some extent but not because they are pass-through in design! Bad fitment or insufficient flush cutting of the conductors at the plug nose is the root cause.ДЇirst, you should make certain that your cable will fit onto the RJ45 plug.

Some installers' perception is that pass-through style RJ45 plugs may present an issue with PoE devices (power over Ethernet) by being more prone to short circuit.

These types of plugs cost less than the pass through style.

That is what they were trained with and prefer to this day.

You may be asking yourself why you would want to use one of these older style RJ45 plugs when you have access to the new fangled pass through kind? Believe it or not, there are quite a few people who prefer them for the following reasons:
