RJ-45 Ends
I am trying to put new RJ-45 ends on some cat5 twisted cable, but am having no luck. Is there a certain color order that the wire has to be in? Does it have to be in the same order on each end? I have been trying to do it the same as a factory cable , but it's sort of hard to see just how it is. I have a good tool, and no problem getting the wire into the slots with a good crimp. The cable is brand new so I think it would be good, but I have no way of testing it . Any help would be appreciated.

It depends on what u are doing, if making a patch cord, it needs to be the same on both ends. If not the comman is 568B. The color code is, white orange, orange, white green, blue, white blue,
green, white brown, brown. Then stick the pairs in the RJ45 mod-plug with the tab down in above order |

Drenner,
Here is a straight forward approach to making cross-over, and straight through cables. http://www.homenethelp.com/web/expla...-crossover.asp good luck. Mike |

Drenner,
You're not alone, it took me a while before I got the hang of crimping those ends on. The hardest part is making sure the wires don't change order when you push them in the RJ45 connector. A cable tester is a valuable tool too. |

One of the keys to successful crimping is having the wire ends even.
Strip off the clading, arrange the wires and then use a side cutter to cut them so that they are even. Shove into the connector. Look at end and you shoud be able to clearly see 8 copper ends. If not pull cable back out and using side cutters even the end up again. Chas

if your going to be doing this often, get a cable tester. you cant tell by looking at the cable if its a good crimp. a tester takes all the guess work out.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Once I got the proper color sequence with the right pin everything worked just fine.

Then you a lucky. Getting the color sequence is easy. Getting continuity on all eight is the hard part.
