Estimated time: 30m
- Prepare the Cable
Strip off approximately two inches of outer cable jacket. Untwist and straighten wires. Place wires in the desired order for wiring according to T568A or T568B standards. Trim wire ends so all conductors are the same length.
- Insert Wires into Connector
Insert wires into the connector and pull the connector down over the cable jacket. Ensure the cable jacket seats snugly in the rear of the connector.
- Secure the Connector
Push the connector into the crimp tool, making sure it is fully seated in the crimp cavity. Crimp the connector and break off any remaining loose wires.
