  • Hi, this 'How To' video show you how to use a RJ45 Crimping tool, it shows you the difference features of the tool and the process of crimping 8P8C Ethernet RJ45 plugs onto either Cat5e or Cat6 Cable. The tool can be used on both stranded and solid core cable.
    Many thanks Vince

    Great video!! Been building PCs for decades but always bought network cables. Your vid showed how easy it is to make them!!

    Now I have the absolute confidence to fix my own wires down to length. I only need cut out the logo of my ISP and pin it to my shirt before I start working. Great video! Been practicing cutting older cords to get a good feel of what the blades do.

    I noticed that when the lock is activated on the crimping tool, it's basically opens to a degree, where scoring the cat 6 will work with that bit it leaves open

      I too feel this part not elaborated sufficiently. The other points are detailed so nicely thank you. Need some information on the order of the 8 wires, because aligning the same order at both ends is vital to the entire thing.

    What you need to know is that are there TWO DIFFERENT connectors depending on whether you are using a solid wire cable ("backbone installation cable") or stranded ("flex patch cable"). You need to use the right connector or the cable is likely to fail, if not when you make it, later. The solid core connector has 2 to 3 prongs that are OFFSET. That allows the prongs to go over and AROUND the solid wire. The stranded connector has 1 or more prongs that are INLINE. Straight. That allows them to go IN BETWEEN the strands. If you use the INLINE connectors on the solid wire it can sever the wire or just not connect well. Google it so you know which ones to get. Even the purchase agents for the big box stores get this wrong. You need to look at the side of the connector to see the prongs. OFFSET or INLINE. No one tells you in these how too videos. Know your wire and know your connector is the key to making good cables!

    Thanks for the many useful and instructive videos.
    My Sky router tells me I get 30MBits/s at the test plug of the Master Socket!
    But I have to have my router where the patch cables go to other rooms!
    My Sky system then implies that my speed could be better!
    I believe I will have to adopt some of your techniques to get an improved connection in the location that my router is located.

    Very nice hands-on video! Btw, do you think the pass-through RJ45 plug and ratchet are better or easier to do the job, because you don't need to worry if the 8 wires go to the end? In fact, the 8 wires will go through the plug and be cut.

    Are CAT6A/7 swallowtail plugs the same as CAT5/CAT6? I have a RJ45 Crimp already and another tool I could use to wrap the tail around the wire.. The tool needed for the swallowtail crimp is very expensive..

      There is a particular colour codeing for Cat5e & Cat6 cables don't twist them... For Cat5e 123 & 6 white orange, orange, white green & green that's for Cat5e & for Cat6 123 are same 45 are blue & white blue, 6 is again same green & 7&8 are white brown and brown....

    • @Mymatevince
      @Mymatevince  7 років тому +1

      Hi, on your cable the white/orange wire will be the white wire wrapped around the orange wire and for example the white/blue wire will be the white wire wrapped around the blue wire.

    Hello. When I crimp the connector, the piece of plastic that is supposed to hold the cable pressed into the connector breaks off every time. When I try to prevent this from happening, all the contacts are not pressed in again. Can you please advise me where I am making a mistake? Thank you very much in advance for your reply and help.

    OMG they are so difficult. I'm 60 and I don't wear glasses but the x3s were on for this and still a nightmare. I practiced on a CAT5 patch cable in the kitchen, nice and comfortable with the nice bright light on. I thought before I crimp it I'll put it in the tester first, lol they don't damn well fit until you crimp them. I've got to do a CAT6 both ends half way through a loft hatch for my CCTV I messed up on. Oh I got 1 and 2 mixed up as well on my 1st practice. The striped colours are so difficult to see once inside the plastic plug. Thanks for video but I wished I'd never seen it. Getting the x25s out I mend iPhone screens with now...................

      No, you don't need to strip the individual wires as the gold contacts pierce into the conductors.

      @soilmanted 5 років тому +2

      Indeed, getting the wires into the RJ45 connector is the hardest part of this job. You have to arrange the wires in the correct order. You have to get the information about what order. Not difficult. But keeping the whole bunch of wires flat, keeping them from bending instead of going into the connector, and keeping them from switching around their order, whilst you are inserting the whole bunch of them into the plug at once, takes more than a little bit of finesse.

      @@soilmanted Not mentioned here but it is also possible to get an RJ45 line test gadget to test your work upon completion. It is simply a two part send and receive box that will ping each connector pin in turn on both plug ends and indicate that the wiring sequence is in the correct order by lighting the appropriate led for the each pin in turn. For a couple of quid this little baby is worth its weight in gold! I have never done an instalation without it.

      @@MrDegsy69 Since I don't do this over and over again day after day, I just use my ohmmeter. Although these tools you mention are great if you don't have both ends next to each other. I attached simple tailor's pins to the ends of the ohmmeter cables. I put both rj45's next to each other, and I just stick each of the pins into the same-numbered slots in the 2 rj45's. I hold the pins in the slots with my fingers. Of course I have to repeat this 8 times, so it takes a bit longer, but it works just fine, and I don't need to buy and carry around an extra (albeit inexpensive) tool.

      @@soilmanted Nice one! Thought i would mention this anyway just in case any of your readers make the same schoolboy rookie errors i have made in the past. It's really easy to get your snickers in a twixt when your wiring up a job lot on a full network installation. Cat 5/6 reel packs, RJ45 crimp on plugs with colour coded protection caps (for zoning) and a crimping/stripping tool are the only way to go when its a full office floor wiring job as you would need contortionist skills to made pre moulded RJ45s work in this situation. The cables are either to short or it has to thread through some snazzy italian desk system or some other such malarky. At 2 sovs a pop it is laughably leave on the job cheap and what we would consider beer pennies. I would still recommend the serious hobbyist to spend a little more and they will get a lifetimes use out of it.
