How To Crimp Ethernet Cable

[shn]

It's not that hard. We had to do it as an assignment for a cisco class I had a while back. You should be able to find a graph or something on the net that tells you which wires go where on the rj-45 connector. We also used a tool to test the throughput and stuff. I forget the name but they very expensive. I don't think you need one but you will definately need to crimp it correctly and make sure you don't nip the wires to close.

Your on the right track. A little broad though. They were more than cable testers. I&#39;d have to bring out my old netcad book to see exactly what their called in a literal sense.

oh that is what ur talking about? i have a multimeter.

but what i thought u meant is this other thing that has a few lights on it, and you plug the cable into it and it lights up the lgihts to tell you if it gets a connection or not, and if not then it has certain combinations that tell you what hte problem is. i saw a guy using it once at my old school, looked pretty handy to have. and it definately wasnt a multimeter



here is the thing i am talking about. it was something like this:
