Crimping Ethernet/utp Cable: requires Minimum Items and Save
Money
‘Crimping’ is the process of
turning unshielded twisted pair cable to high quality LAN cable which can
be used to connect Computers, Switches, Modems and Router. This process is
quite easy but is charged heavily by shops. Wired network is more secure and easily
configured as compared to wireless network. By following the baby process
below, you can save up to 50 dollars and many more in lifetime. This hub will
reap you benefit for long time.
Items Required
There are 3 vital items required in the process: Crimping tool,
unshielded twisted pair Cable and registered jack 45 Connector. In
addition to the above items there are luxurious items such as Stripper, Tester
and Cutter. By following this you will generate similar high quality cable with
least efforts and Items.
Step -1:
Isolate the jacket of cable by using Crimping tool. If you have
stripper you can use it but as I described it is luxurious items. Start by
marking off 2 inch if you are a beginner. But when you have practiced well you
can do it without marking. Use the crimping tool carefully as we don’t want to
cut the inner wire. For beginners use tool lightly so that only slight cable is
scratched from that side. Then take the tool to the other side. Repeat this
process for the remaining side.
Step-2:
Spread the wires by holding the base of jacket so it does not
become untwisted inside the jacket. Extending the wire will give an added
advantage of arranging the cable into proper order.
Step-3:
Arrange the wire into a proper order. We have to make 4 pair of
wires from the 8 wires in the cable. We have to maintain a similar color coding
if we want to make a Crossover cable. Crossover Cable is used to
connect devices with similar function. If we want to connect two switches or
two computers we will use this kind of cable. Straight Cable is used to connect
devices with dissimilar function. If we want to connect PC to Computer we will
use this type of Cable. I am featuring the color coding with text and Image.
White Orange Orange, White Green Blue, White Blue Green, White
Brown Brown.
Step-4:
Arrange the 8 wires into 8 sides of the registered
jack 45 connectors. Look carefully from the top as you must see all the
trails of 8 wires. Use the video to locate connector in crimping tool and press
it once. The cable will produce a noise. Your cable is done.
