1. Ethernet Cable

2. Straight Through Connection  I went ahead with the Straight through connect for my first few cables, using the T-568A wiring standard.

3. Equipment Needed  Wire stripper  Crimp Tool  Network Cable tester  Cat 5e Cable  RJ-45 heads

4. Step 1 Strip the wires. This will expose the unprotected twisted wires. My crimpers are also used as wire strippers.

5. Step 2 Untwist and straighten each wire as best as you can. Once untwisted align each wire according to the diagram.

6. Step 3 Once they are aligned you can then place them in the RJ-45 head. Be careful to make sure they stay in the correct order.

7. Step 4 Next you will crimp. This I found difficult because I did not realize just how much force I had to place on the crimper.

8. Step 5TEST Testing the wires will be the last step to this process. The first video I actually realized I wired the cable wrong with Green first rather than green/white in the first slot. The second video I corrected my mistake and got a positive result. Failed Test Succesful Test
