|
| Carefully cut a couple of centimetres of outer sheath from the end of the CAT5E cable. Be careful not to "nick" any of the coloured wires. (Although the crimping tool has a blade to strip the outer sheath, it takes practice to use it successfully). |
|
| You will see that the wires are twisted together into pairs of solid colour and striped colour-with-white. (The purpose of the yellow thread is to make it easy for you to strip a long section of sheath off. You won't need this so snip it off). |
|
| Untwist the exposed wires and set them in the following order:
|
|
| Flatten the wires between your thumb and finger. Trim the wires to precisely 12.5mm, ensuring the the cut is exactly at right angles so that all wires are the same length. |
|
| Hold the plug with its clip facing down (underneath). Push the wires firmly into the plug. Look through the bottom of the plug and make certain that the wires are still in the correct order and are far enough in to reach the end of the plug. |
|
| Hold the cable close to the plug, clip uppermost, and push the plug into the left side of the front of the crimping tool (it will fit only one way). Hold the cable in place and squeeze the crimping tool handles firmly. The plastic wedge part of the plug will be forced down to grip the cable sheath and the teeth of the pins will be forced through the insulation to make contact with the copper wires. |
|
| Look at the bottom of the plug to ensure that all of the wires are in the correct position. Give the plug a firm tug to make sure it doesn't come loose. If crimping has been unsuccessful, you'll have to start again with a new plug. Go To Catalogue Page Send this page address - CLICK HERE - to a friend ! |
