Building Cables, How to make a network cable
for pictures on this article, please refer to:

1.First strip the jacket from the cable, being
very careful not to cut into the individual
conductors. It is wise to take a few practice
tries to make sure you are not stripping too
deep before you end up cutting too much
off.
2.Next untwist the pair to make them
workable. Try not to untwist to far as the
twisting helps eliminate crosstalk and
provides for a better quality cable.
3.Next, arrange the 8 conductors according
the 568b wiring specifications.

4.This next step can take some practice.
Trim back the conductors so they are all
very close in length. Your goal is to cut
them just long enough to insert into the
RJ45, and no longer. You can purchase the needed tools for this
at

5.Sometimes it helps to press all 8
conductors against the back wall of the
inside of the RJ-45 with your thumb while
sliding them into the connector. Visit:
http://store.tca-inc.net for the connectors.
6.Notice how the conductors themselves are
as short as possible in the picture below.
This will minimize crosstalk, as they are
twisted as much as possible. Also notice
the grey jacket is pushed up as far as
possible. When crimped, the RJ-45 will
grab the jacket of the cable and this will
provide for a strain relief. This is an
important step in building a cable that will
last.
Lastly, if you need boots for strain reliefs on your network
cable, you can find them in our store at
http://store.tca-inc.net . For the tooling, you'll find good
pictures of them and how they are used at:
