A crimping tool / Internet and Networking

A crimping tool :-Before moving on to other cable types,  apply what you have learned by crimping (creating)  your own CAT 5 cable.  To create your own network cable,  you will need to have a competition like the one. You can get a fairly cheap crimping tool at your local electronics store,  but you can also buy some fairly expensive crimping tools.

           When you select a crimping tool,  you want to make sure that you have one that has a built - in crumpet as well as a wire stripper and a wire cutter.  Exercise following in demonstrates the steps needed to crimp your own CAT 5 cable.

Exercise :
Crimping a Category 5 Cable :-
In this exercise,  you will lean how to crimp your CAT 5 cable.  To complete this exercise,  you will need to have a crimping tool,  a piece of CAT 5 cabling,  some RJ-45 connectors,  and a litter bit of patience! To create a CAT 5 cable,  do the following :

1.    Ensure that you have a clean - cut end on the cable by using your wire cutters to cut a little off the end of the CAT 5 cable. 
2.    Once to you have cut a clean end on the cable strip about an inch off Luther outer jacket from the cable using the wire'stripper portion of your crimping tool, as shown in the next illustration. After stripping the outer jacket off,  make sure that you have not cut into any of the individual wires.  If you have,  cut a clean end off the cable again and start from the beginning. 
3.     Once you have stripped the outer jacket off the cable,  order the wires from left right to follow the 568B standard.  This is where your patience will come in,  because it will take some time to get the wires in the correct order and placed tightly together so that they will go inside the RJ-45 connector. 
4.      Once you have the worst aligned in the correct order and you have them all nice and snug together so that they will fit inside the RJ-45 connector,  you are ready to insert them into the connector,  Before inserting the their ends are of equal length; if they are not,  just cut the tips a bit with your wire cutters.
5.    Slide the wires into the RJ-45 connector and make sure that all wires have made contact with the metal contacts inside the RJ-45 connector by looking at the end of the connector.  This is where mistakes happen frequently;  there is usually one wire in the middle that is not pushed up to the end of the connector. 
6.   Once you are certain that all wires have made contact,  you can "crump" the wire,  which will enclose the RJ-45 connector on the wired,  creating a permanent fit.  Insert the connector into the crimping tool and squeeze the handle tight,  as seen in the following illustration.
